Morrow Ryan Lee
I got scammed by this guy as well. I sent him via Western Union $250, not counting the $32 Western Union fee, for a male Axanthic ball python. I thought the deal sounded too good to be true but he gave me this desparate story about how he had to get rid of the snake immediately before his wife, who is divorcing him, gets ahold of it. He had me send the money to WHITESBURG, KY. He picked the money up in just less than an hour so he wasn't very far away from there. He gave the name "Morrow Lee" to Western Union.
He said he was going to sent the snake to me via USPS. I advised him not to do that because it is highly illegal and he said for me not to worry that his aunt is the Postmaster so she fixes him up.
Once the snake did arrive several times after he'd promised he'd send it, I wrote a threatening e-mail to him saying I was going to press charges. Here's his response:
"ok....first of all it 1200 my time!! i just got out of jail! my ex screwed me!!! file charges!!! you go ahead abd do that! ill ship the damn snake monday and that is a promise! but the thing for you to do is to go file charges! hell i only live 1000 miles away ferom you! is all that worth $250! o yea, ill need a damn address to send this thing too!! "
I still did not receive the snake so I sent another unpleasant e-mail and here was his response:
"listen honey, file your complaints!!! hell yea....u emailed me 3 days ago, asking me to send your money back......no problem! i figured were u were upset u didnt wanna here my excuses!!! i sent you a money order on thursday, for your money and dropped anote, appolagizing for my incovience!!! your threatning me over something that is resolved!!! when u tell someone to mail your money back to you, you dont wait 3 days and tell them your filing this and filing that!!!! i sent your money thursday.....now thank you......let it be please........once again im sorry bout al this!!! thank you anyways!!!!!!! "
The money never arrived. Here is the last e-mail I received from him:
"and on a personal matter, its none of your business how many ads i put on the net, further more you slandered me by syaing"i put to more ads on the net to ake OTHER PPLZ MONEY" that is a felony....plz learn some business grammer...tyhnak you and god bless!!!!!!!!!!!!!! once again yourmoney is on the way to your mail box....thanks again!! ryan "
I just called the Kentucky State Police and filed a complaint as someone previously suggested. By the way, thank you for the State Police's phone number (to whoever posted that message). They were familiar with him.
I e-mailed ReptiMart almost 2 weeks ago to let them know about this scumbag but he's still advertising. They haven't done anything as far as I can tell. In their "Buyers/Sellers Forum" under "Bad Guy Reports," they have a long thread going on him as well so anyone who is interested may want to go check that out.

Thanks for letting me vent here and I hope something eventually happens to this guy for what he's done.
