• In the past two days I have gotten emails asking about being requested to provide credit card info in order to register and also to make a post in the classifieds forums. PLEASE NOTE: In no instance will this site ask you for this sort of information. The only time any request for payment is made is if you choose to opt-in for a higher membership level, and that is done SOLELY through PayPal. Anything else is coming from a source other than this site. My guess is that this is coming through Google Adsense, but when I can get someone to send me a screen shot of this sort of request, I will know more.

    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.

Matt,
Since you seem to be taking up the good fight, here's my info:
Chris Ahrens
[email protected]
You can e-mail me if you need my address or phone number.
As I said, she only got me for $150.00 but it still isn't right. I filed with paypal but in my experience it's a joke to try and get your money back through there. I have all the e-mails as well as the paypal receipt. If you want them forwarded to you let me know. Thanks. -Chris
 
I hope so too but I was on the phone with the police department in Athens Alabama and Cullane alabama and they haven't heard of her and researched the addresses that were available too and had a call into the Montgomery Alabama police department and just left message there. I am trying to remain positive but I am not holding my breathe.

Update

Well I received an e-mail from paypal yesterday saying that Katie had responded to my claim with a DHL tracking number. I tracked the shipment and it said it was shipped approximately 4/13 and I should have it on 4/14 but it also said it was in transit. I had asked Katie to hold off on shipping until I let her know that I was ready and she was fine with that. I didn't notify her until 4/20 that I was ready for them. Now when I go to the DHL site it won't let me track that number so something's screwy with DHL. I received a package today through DHL with 2 baby ball pythons in it. 1 live male and 1 DOA female. I'm assuming it's a female since the live 1 is a male and I bought a 1.1 pair. Anyway I've e-mailed Katie explaining that the female was DOA and await her reply. Just wanted to give an update. -Chris
 
Is this the person who has tons of hets for sale now?

I noticed an ad with like 10.15 het Pieds, males $150, females $250 or something crazy like that. Is that her? I also noticed people are buying them, or at least she has some sold signs next to some of the animals....WOW, sounds iffy at best. If she is the one who saw the visual morphs, the visual parents, then why sell so cheap?
 
Why Dennis, are you saying Katie lied???? She just does not seem to be the kind of gal that would ever do such a thing. :rolleyes:

Just incase anyone has any doubt, I was being sarcastic...

Oh no, I would not say that, it was all Harrison.

LOL.
 
Another update

Well, I never got a reply from Katie about the DOA ball I received from her. Paypal was their usual worthless self when it came to getting me my money back. They said that they determined it to be her fault but there was no money in her account to refund me so I'm out of luck. Anyway that's the end of my story.
