    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.....

    Addendum: 01/10/2026
    =====================


    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....

Bad Guy Jeff and Christina Wise (Wise Reptiles) Stole Money from Benefit Auctions for Maggie

Ok in that picture.. Is the 3,500.00 typed or hand written???

Because if you look close, you'll see well look at the 4 0's in the amount then look at the 0's in the date right above... Also look at the 2's they are identical I mean like perfectly the same... So I'm guessing it was typed??
 
Damn..... I had been hearing reports behind the scenes of this, but had hoped that this was merely a case of wires getting crossed and miscommunication.

No, the Wise's are not going to be banned at the moment. It really wouldn't accomplish anything except as a "feel good" gesture, and I don't want to give them any excuse for not coming here to try to clear up this situation. Assuming that is possible to do.........

While this sort of thing obviously is enough to piss off the Pope, gnashing our teeth at them and cussing their names is certainly not going to accomplish anything. I would like to think it's all some sort of misunderstanding or mistake, but while hoping for the best, planning for the worst may be in order.

Has anyone met them in person? Are there any existing photographs of them? Do they own their own home or a business? In other words, are they REAL people using their REAL names? I believe it is notable that wisereptiles.com is now gone.

I did send a member here a photo of the Wise's that is posted on Jeff's facebook page
 
I wasn't going to post, but I felt this was pertinent information to point out...
The total transactions that show up in Maggie's PayPal (which, by the way, is the same that I could see in Jeff/Christina's PayPal that they sent to Nick and Dave) is, altogether, $1,600 (two payments of $800).
$5,453-$1,600= $3,853
The supposed check is for $3,500, which leaves $353 completely unaccounted for regardless of the proof already presented. Am I missing something here? :shrug01:
(Disclaimer: Forgive me if I have and am just being slow)

Maggie and Rick, I'm so terribly sorry this has happened to you both. I honestly wish Christina and/or Jeff could come on and explain their side of the story, but as far as I am concerned, the evidence presented thus far is pretty damning. It's what the courts would call, I believe, "an open-and-shut case".

Maggie, I hope you get enough money to send the girls to camp. For this to have happened during your darkest hour, as everyone else has said, is just not right. It's downright despicable. Chuck was one of the good ones, and I know that had this been involving anyone else, and he were here, he'd be kicking butt and taking names. Rest assured the same will be done for him, you, and your children. You guys are in my thoughts and prayers.

Dave, thank you for bringing this to light thus far. Even if it gets resolved, it was something that needed to be said. Even if it is somehow a misunderstanding (which seems doubtful at best).

Nick, thank you for posting the information for them. I just wish they would come on and post it for themselves, as it is what Dave had already posted.
 
Rich has a good point. Lets see if they just keep shopping around on here for more snakes or if they will make their way here and post and try to explain their side.

That check is for sure 100% typed out with a program though.

Good call, boss. :iagree:

Has anyone met them in person? Are there any existing photographs of them? Do they own their own home or a business? In other words, are they REAL people using their REAL names?
I believe they are real, personally. I, along with quite a few others on here, have seen photographs of them. They both use Facebook and Myspace. Both of them have photos on each. They also have a Youtube with a video of Jeff. Although, it's not unheard of for people to go to great lengths to fake an identity online, I'd say they are real.
I've also talked to Christina on the phone before...that's why I'm so shocked by this. From all accounts they seemed like kind hearted people.

I believe it is notable that wisereptiles.com is now gone.
As is their forums linked to it (duh) and Christina's Facebook...
Though their myspaces are still up, I believe.
 
I have never banked with chase but I have opened a few accounts at different banks in my life. Also, my daughter just opened her first account. Now, I could be wrong but I have never seen starter checks starting in the nine thousands.

When you get your real checks you can request they start at whatever number you want but the starter checks they give you, you don't.
My recollection has been they have always started at 100. My daughter's started at 101 as well.
 
I am showing the check again. All of the font in question is crisp and clear. How come the rest of the check is crappy looking? If she has the software to build web sites, doctoring up two checks together would be easy. I know for a fact, those two numbers should be the same.

I do believe that I have a decent photo of Jeff on a tractor.

I was thinking the same thing. My starter checks were at 100 (if I recall correctly). I just didn't want to comment on that as I do not have Chase. I would love to hear from anyone who does though.

I must be missing something, there is no wisereptiles.com ??? Did they close their site?
After this thread gained momentum, the site was no longer up and running. The forums linked to it is now a broken link, and the actual site is just an index now. They wiped it clean, essentially.
 
I guess that I dont being that they removed it from the Web now. I do remember Jeff stating that he "owned" some sort of lawncare business but I truly think that they worked for someone.
