    Yeah, I know. They are a pain in the butt. But they pay the bills to keep my server running. Just a fact of life, I am afraid.

    Want to get rid of them? Simple. Just become a Contributor level member or above and they will be gone. -> Please click HERE."

    Is that too much for me to ask of you to keep this site running? Well, sorry about that. I too wish I could get everything for free. But alas.....

    =====================


    Google Adsense ad revenue for December, 2025 was just $30 over the cost of the lease for the server running this site. So, in effect, the money providing the incentive for me to continue running this site is coming SOLELY from the paid memberships and sponsorships here. Which honestly ain't much....

Did anyone else notice that the guy claims to not have Internet access but uses PayPal and threatened to report Allen on Fauna?

Not a very bright scammer.... :toiletcla

Yes, I noticed that too Jim. Maybe he was going to drive an hour away to post against Alan :rofl:

I know that ther's a nut for every squirrel out there but my goodness, this guy is too much.
 
Well I just got done reading this thread. Well I was talking to a guy and he said he would send me some pics in the mail. He sent me pics of a pied, salmon jungles, pinstripes. His name was JD of JD reptiles from Ft Wayne, Indiana, 6142 St. Joe Center Rd. He told me the same exact stuff as you and said I had to send out my animals today. The deal was going to be a freaking sweet deal for me and I thought this deal was to good to be true. After getting off the phone with him. I looked him up on the BOI and low and behold his name was first on the BOI list.
Don't get scammed by this guy.

PS: He told me I had to send back the pics even after I was getting the animals. I asked him and he even said he was going to try to sell them to someone else. And then he said He wasn't. This guy is a definite scammer.

Another example of "If it sounds too good to be true it probably isn't...".

The sad thing is that eventually he is likely to find someone who won't check here and therefore won't see this thread.
 
Is it legal to mail someone a box of honey bee's through USPS with a label that says "please shake well before opening"? If it is...there could be some real fun in all this.
 
This same guy tried to scam me also. He offered me the same ball pythons to trade for my albino retics, i knew it was weird right away so i didnt pursue anything.
 
Saweeeet!

James called me this morning and said he was sorry for the way he handled this situation and wanted to make ammends with me. So he asked me to send him some pics of pins and killerbees so he could decide what he wanted to purchase. THIS GUY JUST DOES NOT QUIT! :shrug01:
I contacted the attorney general in the state of Indiana and come to find out I am not the only one!
Well I am glad that this guys name and game are now out here for the public to view.

THAT is probably the best thing you could have done to slow this guy down. Hopefully, he will get one heck of a wake up call real soon.
Thanks for bringing this here, Allen.

OMG!!! Hey Alan, will you send me some pix of your snakes. 8x11 glossies would be really super :rofl: Sorry couldn't resist. Good thread, thanx for the heads up and the giggles.
 
I had nothing better to do this afternoon so I snapped a few photos of my balls to send the fella. Heh heh......cant wait till he opens the envelope.

Time to snap a few pics of my balls: $10.00
Stamps to mail the pics of my balls: $0.78
The expression on the scammers face when he gets to see my balls: PRICELESS!

<<Inquiry>> Jim Harper or Jim Dean in Fort Waryne Area?

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Hello -
I'm looking for any information on Jim Harper or Jim Dean in the Fort Wayne Area. They also mentioned opening a store front called J & J Reptiles. Any information would be helpful.

Thank you!
Brett


Now this guy has gone beyond being a scum bag in my book. He not only tried to get pics of our animals to scam people he is also looking to use the same company name as us. I hope this S.O.B gets what comming to him.
Hopefully no one falls for his b.s and looses out on any animals or money.
 
They used to have a Fort Wayne Reptile Show. I have not seen it listed in a while so I dont know if they still do it at all or only infrequently.

But if they do have it again I will be sure to make the trip up there and see what I can find out about this guy.
 
Hello,

Yeah, this guy did the same thing to me. He overnighted a package to me via Post Office. He told me the same thing, his computer was stolen and he is working it out with the insurance. He sent me a bunch of pictures. Told me that he got must of the animals in trade. I could not find anyone that did business with him before. I asked for referrals and he always changed the subject. I bet u that number he is calling from is a pre-paid cell phone.

1st his number always came up Private.
2nd the pics of the reptiles all had different backgrounds
3rd his prices where way to low
4th this guy keep calling me every day.

I said no and sent his pics back to him. He got a little upset with and I was like no interested.
