    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....

I understand you,but the fact that he could have done this to old people is just past forgiveness from me. Not that he needs it from me.

I wonder if he built his company with hard work or the monies from people he ripped off? Either way,he is a pos!!
The only ones I would feel bad for are his children.
 
I HAD THE SAME PROBLEM WITH HIM, BUT NOW HE HAS BLOCKED ME FROM EVERYWHERE AND RIPPED ME OFF 1800 DOLLARS. BE CAREFUL WITH HIM.

Juan, you should upload the screenshots you posted on Facebook. You can click "manage attachments" in your reply and upload four files to the post.
 
I have not had any transactions with him, but I had seen him at a recent Repticon in Ft Lauderdale. He had some nice looking animals, but the name seemed familiar to me for some reason, and I ended up passing on his animals. After reading through this thread, I remembered this is where I saw the name. I am glad I chose to pass on dealing with him.

EXCELLENT!! Here's some Good Karma man. I'm glad to see someone pass on good snakes from bad people . That's how to show our displeasure.
 
This is what that arrest was about.

I am certainly not standing up for Manny Frede. But he isn't automatically guilty simply because he is accused.
You've taken the time to write multiple posts on multiple threads. I think it is time you provided particulars and emails.
I would like to see the specifics, because accidentally sending a critter to the incorrect address doesn't make someone a crook. There have been a few instances over the years here of some very good vendors accidentally mislabelling a package. They went above and beyond, in some cases, to rectify their error and make their customer happy. What happened after the mislabelling here? If Manny refused a refund or other repair/compensation for an error of his own doing, that is different, but so far, there are no particulars at all.
 
If he would have given a refund after his screw up than yes. But he has patterns and this is repeating these are called quick replys for reason. I have flu now but working on full detailed evidence including 4 other cases I know of know that are not listed here one where he tried screwing a know well known breeder for 35k and they had to show up on his door step. I do agree that just because your accused in court of law does not make you a crook but I also don't see good people doing the right thing being brought before justice. I also don't see them keep up there sly dealings. To many people have issue with him so if I were any one I would stear clear. But by all means my experience and my loss not yours. So send him 2000-10000 snake for a breeding program and tell me how it works out? One common thing I see is if you ive close you probably won't get screwed.

Chris,
Stop with the vague accusations and please post a detailed account of what happened. Also, if you are going to post about a 'well known breeder' please name him.

It is silly to tell me to send a snake to him, I'm not going to do that. But that doesn't make him guilty. Details, please.
 
I understand he did not screw you I am not looking for a jury panel like me or not I am fine. I however know I've been screwed by him and I am only talking with others that have been too. So I can cordinate an effort to stop him. Your welcome to spend your hard earned money where you want and for now for complete details and what he did to me you can wait a week tell attorney General in Florida tells me what he wants me to do there are plenty of comments and areas of him selling snakes that don't belong to him bouncing check. I would think a smart person would see his repeated tries to ripp people off. I don't need you to confirm that I was wronged my bank account tells me that. These threads are talking about his character and for me that's zero. So you want my opinion he is a crook just by what's already posted. But you can have your own I don't need your approval though.
