    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.

    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....

John Dumas - DiamondExotics - Massachusetts - THIEF SCAMMER LIAR!!!

I believe he/she has a new (or..old?) guise he/she/they are going under... At least, Mr. Corbin is claiming their website as his own. That leads you to wonder... Why would someone claim an inactive site as their own? Even when it was active, it wasn't all that appealing.

Introducing, Mr. Corbin out of Canada.

Upon further inspection of the ads, the contact information is ranging from Maine to Michigan and Missouri.

This is where I become confused.. Maybe I'm a little easier confused than some of the others out there.. Unless Mr. Corbin is just going around and stealing people's websites, names, and telephone numbers to use in his ads for his own exploitation, these people (John and/or Pamela) are going to GREAT extents to scam people.Or, Mr. Corbin is posting ads for other people..? I haven't had any luck using the website's "Contact Us" email form for the Web Administrator.

Ooohhh Didn't know that! ^_^

Here is what I have found about him by just doing a simple whois search of his domain diamondsexotickennels.com, This is public information by the way......

Pics are true.. They were my spider and pastel.

Those were the traded animals from me for that het female he had.. I know he has those animals andhe may have gotten a few more from someone else... I can't say he scammed me due to the fact our trade was for alegit het that he proved many timesfor me... Thats all I know. Just my 2 cents.
 
It's terrifieing to me that one ad is for a "Wanted Free dog".
It couldn't be he needs bait dogs... why would someone with a "kennel" of pit bulls tied out with logging chain need a 'free or cheap dog'? It says IN(Indiana) but I just find it disturbing.
 
About to vomit...

I find the begging for the free dog to be pathetic, disturbing and most of all sickening. The puppy mill was bad enough. The fighting dogs is too much. Is there a SPCA in his town? I think that it is time for a not-so-anonymous tip-off.

What do....

Mr. Corbin, users "Christoper", "sham", "Mr. Jayce", "brianna0", "sarah0" and perhaps even others all have in common at that site (www.onlypunjab.com)that Josh posted the screenshot of? They all are running many of the exact same ads.

"Sham" has the same CBbaby Columbia RTB (both ads in caps even!) and venomoid albino Monacle Cobra as Mr. Corbin. "Christopher" is looking for same same "wanted ball python (free or cheap) in or around North East Indiana". Both "Christoper" and "Mr. Corbin" want a free snake for their 14-year old son. Both have identical ads looking for an unwanted cockatoo or macaw.
"Christopher" and "Mr. Jayce" have identical ads looking for a free/cheap female Great Dane. Christopher shows a 605 AC phone number; Mr. Jayce shows a 612 AC number.

Mr. Corbin also has an ad for a 4.5 ft. Royal BP. In that ad he runs a 678 AC (Marietta, GA) phone number with the name Dan. He has an ad for ferrets and a Mountain Horned Dragon with an 810 AC number and an ad for an '05 410- gram F Spider BP with a reference his site, www.bigtimereptiles.com. If you go to bigtimereptiles.com, it magically turns into www.bigtimepets.com. That site looks like a clone of the previous diamondsexotickennels.com, hosted by Freewebs like Diamond Exotics, and using much of the exact same HTML (hey, Dumas...your "no right click" script is useless! On both sites! LOL) There's a conspicuous lack of contact information there.

User "sarah0" and "brianna0" also have identical ads seeking an unwanted cockatoo or macaw and seeking a female Dane. (the same as Christopher, Mr. Jayce & Mr. Corbin)

I'm sure there are other identicals ads among all those users and I'm not even sure what all that means...or if it's even proof that Dumas is behind it all. What it does appears is that that particular site is nothing more than a scammer's outlet. :angry:

I hard to figure out what's going on. What good would a free ball python and NE Indiana do JDumbas in Brockton? Is it like an organized scammer's network?
 
Before he (or Pamela?) disabled/dismantled his site, one of the "services" he offered was ear cropping...for $500.00!! I agree, that looks like a hack job for sure.

I received this PM from him a day or so ago....

ears cropped

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

It was done by a vet and i have the vet bills to prove it Email me if you want proof.I am not inhumane, and I would never harm my animals Or even crop there ears by my self.As i said if you want proof that a vet cropped her ears email me

Now, he isn't lying is he? He is plain disgusting, as well as his "partner" :ack2:
 
Those dogs are sad! If you want to have them get them off chains and socialize them. All of our dogs get along great and the akita is known for being aggressive. Here is a couple of pics of happy dogs including a pit mix we rescued and found a home for.

Well done. Very well done. Looks like a group "doggy thank you" that we all can take real comfort in. A souce of confidence in the better nature of man's appreciation of canine's, considering all the news of late. I owe you thanks for my smile.
 
THEY HIT AGAIN! WE MUST STOP THEM - PUT THE WORD OUT!

Well guys they hit again. I received an email from another herper that has fell victim to John & Pamela. I am posting part of their email below. We really need to stop these guys or at a minimum get the word out of their scam.

Email received today (7/18/07): Hello, my name is XXXXXXX and I recently fell victim to a scam on a trade that went horribly wrong. It was supposed to involve my 06 Pewter male and 2 04 proven breeder females for her 06 pied and an 06 female spider, for which she had adds for recently posted on kingsnake. It wasn't until today that I finally realized what a huge mistake I made after reading the 15 page long forum on fauna classifieds revolving around the two of them being SCAMMERS and possibly working together to steal people's snakes. I was unaware that a John Dumas was even associated with Pamela until after I read the forum, and of course I have a feeling that it's too late. I sent my animals to her first for a Tuesday morning delivery by 10:30, expecting her to send me mine in return today, but they never came. After hours of talking between Pamela and DHL, I finally got a hold of the actual courier himself who said he specifically dropped the package off a nd it was signed for by a John Dumas at Pamela's address. Pamela addimently denies knowing any John Dumas, but I know that they are in on this whole thing, and it's so clear that they are working together after reading the forum.

Please help us get the word out on these two scammers! I don't know how they are posting on kingsnake. We are checking the ads daily for signs of either one of them.

Dwayne & Suzanne
 
Thanks Dennis,
For uploading the pics I know they were a little off topic but I could not resist. I am so tired of hearing about scammers. It makes it hard for us small guys to build our reputations. I hope these two get whats coming for them legally atleast. These type of people need to be outed before they can ruin this hobby for everyone.
 
Been following this thread as my sister and I also have an interest in apbt's...
My sister Jen, who has the site freewebs.com/blu-tiffulpitts/ agreed to spread the word to her pit friends about John, and is working on an addition to her site about people and breeders to stay away from. I hope this helps the cause... We've come across a high percentage of shady ppl in the apbt hobby

Is it possible you could find out from the person who emailed you, exactly what address DHL delivered to (presumably Pamela's) and get permission to post it publically? I'm sure it would benefit others to know exactly what address to avoid.

Many thanks.

Oops.....

I just read Dennis' reply to the other Pamela/John Dumas thread regarding posting the 3rd party anonymous email. I'm guessing the delivery address also cannot be posted until the emailer's name is posted. Sorry about that ...
