Here's all of page 73. It shows that jim is hotheaded and that timmy and bobby work closely together.
timmy rips off matt and sends him a paramyxo infected snake.
bobby rips off kids for $20.00 dollar snakes.
These two are your friends scotty.
Count them- One bad guy, two bad guys, three bad guys....
timmy, bobby and scotty, three bad guys
Tim's lawyer
Who, in their right mind, would even represent Tim? I find it very hard to believe that he has an attorney in this matter. It's not too hard to find someone to write a threatening letter, with enough legalese to seem legitimate.

Thanks everyone for your support. Let me throw this in as well.
And be for warned get a cup of coffe because you will be here a bit. ( Long post with all e-mails )
I got sick and tired of Bobby's crap and Tim telling me what to do on this matter and I e-mailed Tim and told Tim that I did not have the snake anymore because Bobby picked it up and then 2 days later told him I still had it and then threatened to stuff it with such a big rat that it would puke every time tim sneezed. I would never do this but told this to tim because I was sick of him and bobby's demands.
That is when Tim said he would not take it back.
I called Tim yesterday and told him I was just going to end it and payfor it after I recieved a e-mail from his 5 dollar lawer here is what he said. You would have to flip the email around this is his responce to my e-mail back to him
Mr. Scharphorn:
I'd be happy to talk with your legal counsel and am obligated to do so now
that you have advised me that you are represented. Please forward this
message to your attorney and ask him/her to contact me. Please also provide
me with your attorney's contact information. Unless you advise that you are
no longer represented by counsel I can not communicate with you further,
other than to serve you with a summons.
Tim will not credit you for return of the snake. As we discussed, you have
now had the snake for more than a month, you have threatened to harm it, you
have repeatedly been dishonest and reneged on your agreements and you have
sick snakes in your collection. Under the circumstances, I don't know a
reputable breeder who would accept the snake back. Tim will not credit a
return of the snake and, in any event, is unavailable on Tuesday to receive
shipments.
Given your stated intent to, once again, go back on your word, I have
advised Tim to move forward with filing a lawsuit against you.

Brett, I have talked to legal council and I do not have to pay for the
snake. I am sending the snake back to Tim on Monday for a tuesday revieve.
you may want to make sure that he is aware of this and is available to
recieve the snake on tuesday.
Thank you,
Jim Scharphorn
I then e-mailed Tim and asked for a invoice or a bill from Arboreals of the rainforst for the snake in question and Tim e-mailed me back saying that he could not talk to me and everything had to go threw his lawer. so I emailed back telling him that to have his lawer send me a bill and I would hold off on sending payment till I recieved the bill.
here is all the e-mails between me and tim. except for the very first one or two. for some reason all my e-mails from corrallus are gone but lucky enough Tim posted some of them from his side of the fence.

I would like to have her but after buying the pair of basins I am tapped, and do not see any funds till around the end of aug.

Hey Jim,
I have no idea what she weighs. I only have micro scales for neos. Nothing that goes that heavy.
She will most likely breed this fall but the next for sure. I wouldnt hesitate trying her this season.
It's amazing how many folks want everything that I am not selling. I have been bombarded with emails asking for things on my site.
If you want her give me yell. I will saver her for you.
Quote
Tim, any offers yet on the female ? how much does she weigh do you know ? I remember her but cant remember how big she is. I am starting to shop for a female to breed this fall to my male.

Yes Jim she is in perfect shape. Never a regurge issue, snotty nose or runny poop.
She eats bi weekly on ft small to med rats off tongs.
Never a single health problem.
If the cath lab is willing and lets me off in time I should be able to ship on Monday for a Tuesday delivery.
I will be leaving for a few weeks on Wednesday so I will out of touch for a while. Going on a Vaca with the family and friends.

Matt, Called me when he found out that you were selling me that female and wanted to know why you would tell him not to sell to me but then you would sell to me. And ralph mentioned something about my pukers that you told him about.
That still does not change the fact that this female is not big enough to breed this year, You knew I was intersted and stated that I wanted her to breed this year and you said that she would. she needs about another 500 grams to go and there is no way I can get her to gain that much weight.

Plane and simple Matt is full of chit and just pissed off at me. I wouldn't believe a word that comes out of his mouth for love nor money.
But that's your choice to do so or not.
Don't underestimate a good feeding regime Jim. She can add enough to surprise you. She is of age so feed her well and see what you can pull off.

Now this was all in about the first week. Then Tim went on vacation for 2 weeks.

Then you say that I held her and knew what she looked like. I never touched anything of yours not even your atb when you pulled it out. why don't you just go cry to someone else I am sure you are allready telling stories to anyone that will listen to you. she only weighs 700 grams there is no way I can put 500 grams on her this year, you knew damn well I wanted a female to breed. I am going to have her tested for the virus until then I am not giving you crap for her. You pissed me off for talking [bleep] behind my back, so go away.

As of 10:30 am on Sunday the 17th Bobby Pruett has not received this animal as he is still in Indiana and I am on the phone with him now.
Your attempt at deception on strengthens my case of theft on you and theft by deception is a felony in Ohio.
You now have 6 days to comply.

Your lies and deception are getting you in deep trouble Jim. Bobby Pruett has my authority to collect this animal or the money by the date stated in this email.
You stated in this email pasted, dated and marked in bold that you were changing the deal, not I.

Further more, Bobby Pruett has all legal rights to collect this animal for me and has contacted you on several occasions to do so. Cell phone records will prove that you contacted him as well. Your refusal to comply only serves to further strengthen my case of theft by deception against you.
Have a nice day.

Yup you got 5 days to pick it up or you can kiss my ass. you will not get this snake any other way so give it up, looser boy. You will not get it without making prior arrangments also. If you do not knock your [bleep] off I will stuff this [bleep]er with such a big rat that it will puke it up every time you sneeze. Now take that to the bank and sent it to your buddy ralph and bobby.
Thank you,
Jim Scharphorn
And this was the last e-mail from Tim till the lawer got involved
In light of your threat to inflict harm on this animal you now 4 days in which to pay in full.
Have a nice day.

I hope that you will now give your opinions about this matter, and make them good please because i am probably going to stick with the majority or your replies and hope for the best.

sick new locale
Hey Jim.If you like the snake
and want to keep it,you should
stop beating around the bush
and take the snake to a vet,draw
the necessary sample, and send it off to test for the paramyxo
virus.Playing deceptive games
with someone like Tim,"who has
already proved how deceptive
he is,"is a total waste of
time, and makes you look bad.
Honestly tell Tim that due to recent events, it has become
necessary to have the snake
checked for the deadly virus
and if it's clean, you will
pay for it as soon as you get the results,minus the cost for the test. If you don't want
to keep the snake,I personally
would still get it tested, but that's up to you,send it back
and be done with it.I wouldn't
worry about Tim's threat's
because he is the one that is misrepresenting the animals that he is sending out.In Matt's case
I would even call it criminal
behavior.For him to threaten to sue you is interesting in itself
because of the way he has acted with Matt.Cowardly fool would describe it better.However Matt
can take care of himself.His case is open and shut.
However you situatiom is a little different, and your deceptive emails are not in your best interest.Bottom line is
if you plan to keep it get it tested and then pay or don't pay
depending on the result.If you don't want it,send it back, and then be done with it.That's why
I recommend testing the snake
either way.Tim's behavior is what makes this necessary, his
willingness to send out sick animals.Test it, and then act
accordingly.Tell Tim honestly
what you plan to do, then do it.
Ignore his threats until it's done,then do what is necessary.
I recommended this course a long time ago, and you still are still goofing around with this.Make a decision, use your head,and do what's right.It's really not that hard!

I find it interesting that a lawyer would say this:
quote:
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I don't know a
reputable breeder who would accept the snake back.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Wow, tim was lucky enough to find a lawyer who knows a lot of reputable breeders?
Or is his "lawyer" just one of his friends posing as a lawyer.

Good observation Sasheena.
I'm betting it's a friend posing as a lawyer.
Jim,
Ask Tim's "lawyer" for his office address and phone # so your lawyer can get in touch with him. Is it common practice for a lawyer to carry on conversation with the person being sued over email??? Is Susan Smith his paralegal?
I would get that animal tested ASAP! If the snake comes back positive for the virus that would kill any case that Tim has. The longer you wait to have it tested, the easier it will be for Tim to claim that the animal contracted the virus in your collection.
