• Responding to email notices you receive.
    **************************************************
    In short, DON'T! Email notices are to ONLY alert you of a reply to your private message or your ad on this site. Replying to the email just wastes your time as it goes NOWHERE, and probably pisses off the person you thought you replied to when they think you just ignored them. So instead of complaining to me about your messages not being replied to from this site via email, please READ that email notice that plainly states what you need to do in order to reply to who you are trying to converse with.

    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....

On or about 4/11/2005 I purchased .1 Albino Ball Python 1600gr for $3,500 and he never shipped.. If anyone has any information on him please post or contact me.

Thank you,
John
 
Any more information?

John,

You may actually have more information than any of us. Can you ate least provide us with an address to where you sent the money? How did you pay for him? Where was the ad placed, do you still have a copy of it? Did he attempt to contact you explaining why he has not shipped? Sorry for all the questions, but they are needed so we can better understand what happened.

Regards.
 
The original ad was posted Kingsnake.com (Ball Pythons) and money transaction was PayPal. The date in my first post was wrong it’s 5/11. My computer crashed so I lost his contact number and address. I have filed a FBI & Police report. Thanks

Do at least know in which state he is located in?

Thanks.
 
What kind of crash was it? The data may still be recoverable if you didn't format the drive already.
 
John,

Did he attempt to contact you after you paid explaining why he did not ship? Although three weeks is a lot of time maybe something happened to him.

Regards
 
If you haven't already done so, file a complaint with PayPal, I believe you only have 30 days from transaction date. They will freeze his account, but if it is empty it won't help much. Also, if you paid using your CC through PayPal, your credit card company can get involved as well.
 
Dear John....

....this place is no joke. What gets posted here stays here...forever. Youve labled this seller a "Bad Guy". Thats a heavy statement and I'm certain everyone here would like to hear the complete story. It might even be nice to upload a screen shot of the payment transaction you made to this seller. If you paid by PayPal its right on their website and easy enough to do. That should have the sellers personal info youve lost.

If this seller has done you wrong you might be able to find some help here, but no one is going to play dentist to extract this information from you. In light of your computer crash I know certain information may not be available, but please post your side of it, at least to the best of your recollection.
 
John,

This forum has helped people in similar situations as yours. There are a lot of people visiting this site with connections all over the U.S. But there’s very little they can do without having more information. Unless you provide additional information than just a name and an e-mail address, it’s going to be awfully difficult to come-up with something. Maybe there was some sort of question and answer via e-mail that you can recall before actually sending the money. For example the state and/or city he is located in would be very helpful. I couldn’t help but notice that your ad requesting information on Joshua was removed from KS. It’s a long shot but if he was posting ads last month his account might still be active. If so KS has all his contact information. Have you e-mailed them? Not that they will give it to you but maybe they are willing to contact him.

Good luck!
 
John,
How soon after the payment was made, did your computer crash? Was it prior to the agreed upon ship date? Now that you're back up and running, are you using the same email address that you were using prior to the crash?

If you're using a different email now, is it possible that he didn't ship because he lost contact with you? I know I would not ship any animal unless I have confirmation that someone would be there to receive it.

Of course if this was the case, the money should have been refunded by now.

Just grabbing at straws here - but until you are able to provide additional information, there's not much anyone here can do to help you.
 
John I really feel for your problem,But from What I am(others also) seeing is alot of holes here Your are posting on almost every forum But Not giving The Info to help you out, Stop posting all over and focus on this thread, What needs to be addressed is as follows..... His state, How payment was made.just these few simple things can move us forward in helping you out. What do you think Bro, Do you want our help or what???
 
BTW: I would like to thank everyone for the help and support I’m receiving. Last night I spoke with a person in California who also had unpleasant dealings with Joshua Wright after paying $3,200 for a Boa and not receiving it. He has informed me the Joshua lives in or around Spokane, Washington. Below is a copy of the resolution letter from PayPal.

Letter from PayPal:

After careful review, we have concluded our investigation of the Buyer
Complaint described below.

We have decided in your favor, however, we were unable to recover any funds from the seller's account. As stated in the PayPal User Agreement, recovery of funds associated with a Buyer Complaint cannot be guaranteed.

We will make our best effort to recover the funds in question if they
become available in the seller's account in the future. Please be assured
that we will also take appropriate action against the seller's account,
which may include limitation of the seller's account privileges.

Josh,

Is there some reason you can't or won't give the information you have repeatedly been asked for?

Paypal keeps a record of who you pay and when you pay them. It will have the email address you sent your payment to.

Several people have asked you to post it and yet you haven't? Why?

Something doesn't quite add up here.

Care to elucidate a bit?

Post whatever facts you can find or remember.

What?????

Thanks for the support? Please save your fingers the stress and dont bother making complaints here unless you can provide at least a shred of verifiable evidence to prove your claim. A computer crash will not prevent you from posting the PayPal email with full headers.

You "got balls" alright....to waste peoples time. Go get some sun John.....
 
Chuck,
If you would like to join me for a day in the sun I can always swing by the Poconos and pick up Marjorie and you and we can head to the beach.

Hey jonnyboy,

I'm curious here. Are you threatening Bill? Or are you just stupid?

I am getting a whiff of Tuna.

What's up with you, johnnyboy?

PayPal has decided in your favor and yet they only may limit the seller's account privileges? How many people does this guy need to scam before they take action?
 
In all honesty, without johnnyboy providing some additional information, I'm not too sure that he HAS been scammed.

Maybe he's in cahoots with josh and they're running a scam somewhere else and this is part of the trail they are laying to cover up something else.

Still smelling fish.
