    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....

Mike Massey - The Worst Guy Ever

no luck here

still no luck on getting anywhere as far as the police or mike.. need to call someone.. but no one seems to want to help they tell me to call here or there but they all say the same thing to call another person.. sick of it
 
I talkked to Det. Blake Watkiss this morning and gave him all of my info and I am emailed him the entire situation. HIs number is 419-254-8942 The more people who call the better. 3 of us have already called and talked to him.
 
Updated Info

Hello everybody
I talked to Det. Blake Watkiss from the Toledo Police Department. He told me that I was the 5th person to talk to him today and he still had notes to call 4 other people. So apparently he has screwed a lot more then at least I thought.
Blake told me that he is going to go "talk" with Mike Massey today. I'll post more info as I find out.

Hope this info helps some people.

Hey,
Blake called me today and told me to email him the whole entire situation. His email address is [email protected], email him your situation. Also I think we should all file a civil suite together. We should all get a single lawyer and file a huge suite together. I hope this email helps people and if anybody wants to start a civil suite email me at [email protected].
Thanks Chris Clark
 
I'm all for that. My email is [email protected]
Hey Mike Massey, hope your reading all of this. You shouldn't lie to people.
The more people we get together on a single suite, the better. I don't know how anybody else feels, but I've love to see mike go to jail for stealing.
 
I AM GAME

MY NAME IS JOE ELLIS AND I WAS RIPPED OFF AS WELL. I SPOKE TO THE SAME DETECTIVE AND AM WILLING TO GO IN ON THE SUITE. IF YOU COULD EMAIL ME ANY INFO TO [email protected] I WILL JOIN YOU GUYS. THANKS.
 
Incase we can not get our money back we should file a criminal lawsuit against Mike Massey. Of course I would rather have my money, but if not I would get some satisfaction of Mike being put in prison.

I TALKED TO MIKE MASSEY TODAY!!!

I CALLED MIKE MASSEY AND HE ANSWERED HIS PHONE. HE GAVE ME HIS NEW # AND IS GOING TO EXPLAIN WHAT HAS BEEN GOING ON. I WILL UPDATE EVERYONE MORE WHEN I TALK TO HIM. I HOPE EVERYTHING WORKS OUT.
JOE
 
Wow. I can't beleive he answered. I tried calling him yesterday and it went right to his voicemail. I really want my cash back.
 
dude post the number like right now so everyone can call mike and well i know i want to talk to him and i know everyone knows what else i would like to do as i know you all would like to do the same
steve burke
 
I'd love to hear Mike's new reason as to why he has ripped off so many people. Did he have to move again, was there another death in the family, did he run out of minutes on his cell phone? Mike we are all waiting to see what your new excuse is?
Please post his new number. I've got two already. But I'd love to call him on a number that he might answer.

Mike, we just want our money back that you have stolen from everybody.
If your innocent, why not try and defend yourself? You say your on honest person, now would be a really good time to live up to that.

This is just my $0.02
Joe Russell
 
Any more updates?

What's going on? Is it possible to have his new number emailed to me? Well heck, I'd be happy if since you can communicate with him you would have him call me if nothing else. (817) 375-0180. I just assume he lost my number. Let us know what's going on.
 
I figured I would give an update. I talked to the detective in toledo and Mike Massey and Mike is trying to get together my money to pay me back so this doesn't go any further. The detective also said that Mike has been or will be contacting everyone else involved. Hopefully this all works out. I will keep everyone posted. I know we have all herd the stories before from Mike, so lets see if he follows through and makes these deals right. In my case he is giving my money back, from what I understand a few of you are taking animals or are getting back what you traded Mike? I didn't get into detail about everyone elses deals. Oh yeah, he answers his cell that is still on now.
 
I won't beleive anything Mike Massey has to say. He has still yet to responde to any of my emails or calls. What phone number are you using Mike Heinzer? I haven't talked to the Detective in a few days, but when I did talk to him, he hadn't done anything yet.
Guess I'll have to give him a call today.
I will still follow through with my criminal charges against mike massey until the money is in my account. But thats just me. He has lied for way too long to all of us.

This is just my two cents.

Joe Russell
 
I forget which one I called. It was either 419-870-9233 or 419-320-4139. One is still turned off. I forget which one. I am also not just letting this go without getting my money, but I told the detective I would give him a little bit longer.
Mike
 
Mike,

Thanks, I didn't have that second number you posted. Must be a new one. Well keep us posted on how your progess is coming. My email is [email protected]
I'm going to call Det. Blake on Monday, couldn't get ahold of him this afternoon. If I find out anything new on Monday, I'll post it.

Joe Russell
 
Thank god im not the only one

i thought i got screwed pretty bad, until i heard some of y'alls horror stories. I traded a breeding pair of balls for 3 corns. the pair of balls were perfect, good temperment, ate well, and perfectly healthy. I kinda knew i wasn't getting the best deal in the world, but i really didnt have room for the balls so it was a solution. Well i got the 3 corns, one of them had mites and a respitory infection and one of them would not eat. and the other one was really mean. I was severely pissed about the one having mites because i was scared my whole collection was going to be infested so with weeks of constantly cleaning and watching. The one with mites died, and then one did not eat so it died. Only one left. I contacted mike and he said that he would send me another corn baby that was a bloodred of some sorts. he claiimed it was worth a lot of money so i said sure go ahead and send it. It looked just like a normal corn. i even posted pics on here for y'all to see what y'all think about her. Everyone said normal. well that snake ate twice for me and then died. so now i only have one that is mean as hell to show for the entire trade. I sent him $35 for shipping for the 2 anery corns that are on his website. well when he was suppose to send it he said that one of them got loose and he would send those kings that are on his website. I really didnt want them and he never sent them and finally i asked him for my money back....well he never sent me the money order. I know it's just $35 compared to everyone's $2000 or more, but he kept claiming how he was a man of his word and everything before i started doing business with him. I trusted him like everyone else did so i learned my lesson. I even put some positive for him cause i thought i got a good deal, i was wrong. I dont know what his deal is, but he needs to be stopped from doing business. He is a disgrace to the Herp community and because of people like him makes this world a worse place.
