    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....

To Whom It May Concern,

This seller is an extreme fraud and has just scammed me out of $500 ! The good part is, we've figured out who it is and will definitely deal with this outside of the law and when they least expect it. They won't even see it coming !

It would be nice to have some facts. However, how are you any better than this other party is if you revel in your plans to 'deal with this outside the law'?
 
Damn, that sucks. I just got hit by this, well, guy as well. Mine is almost resolved via paypal. I wont condone handling such issues "outside of the law", however, whatever he has coming to him, he fully deserves, and I will enjoy it

This is why, anytime I do a transaction or potential transaction, I will search and/or inquire about the other party here.

Well if you decide to video tape how you handle this I would recommend not posting it.
 
"Zombie Killer" For Hire

Yo T-Tiger I've Got Those Silver coated Slugs....Hey I wonder if there is enough Biz out there to Staff a Recovery Business?? I've seen several
potential Customers just one the first page of the BOI. Good Luck:shootfoot
 
I'm with Kevin and Ron. send a link if you do as you say-"handle outside the law".

Maybe handling things outside the law will teach some lessons! Its proven that when dealt with by the law,you get a smack on the palm of your hand and a fine less then the op is out.. Not even the backside of the hand with more nerves.
Its also proven that about 80% felons commit another crime and go back to prison.
I say handle more of these scumbags with our own methods as long as it hurts know body but the intended !!! IMO> Maybe they will get it. Some countries still cut off your hand for stealing! How many of them people are running around with NO HANDS?? NONE>
 
I was going to refrain from commenting at the risk of this getting bumped up..yet again but this is getting ridiculous.

"handling things outside of the law" is NEVER a good option, and the continuation of posts urging the OP and others to act on these urges is going to hurt the hobby that many people hold dear. It may not affect it today, or tomorrow or next month but I doubt the first person to release their pet burm thought it would affect the hobby as much as it did.

Especially in america, herp keepers are already seen as kindof "fringe" pet owners and someone getting plastered all over the news for harming, (or worse) another person over a reptile. Do not take me as saying oh it's "just" a snake, or lizard but it's not fair to inflict YOUR possible stupidity on the rest of the hobby. In simple terms, while "harming" someone who treats their pets badly may save you a handful of animals you may end up ruining it for millions of people who keep their animals responsibly. There are better ways to avoid these situations, mainly researching who you are buying and selling from/to, and preaching responsible keeping to as many people trying to get into the hobby.

This thread is a gross misuse of the BOI (IMHO) and I am deeply bothered by the fact that such a wonderful tool that has helped so many is being used to fuel some ego stroking feel good vigilante ideas.
 
I don't think it's wise to post threats online, but the kid got me for $175, so... whatever happens to him is his own fault. That's all I got.
 
I would like to clarify my first post.

First off it is clear that the op isn't the brightest bulb on the tree or he is a complete BS'er. Who in their right mind publicly threatens someone where it can't be deleted?

So my comment was valid in that if he does take it in his own hands ( which I don't care one way or another) and he happens to video it ( which every one is posting their stupidity on yt) don't post it.

@ Guy
I grew up in the projects, slum, ghetto or whatever you want to call it. That being said I would pay big money for you to video what happens when you show up in the projects and start flashing money. So keep me in mind if you ever decide to try that.

Our system of justice at times doesn't work. No one doubts that at times there is corruption in the administration of justice, and at other times the very system itself creates what some see as an injustice when an accused goes free on a technicality.

The technicalities are important, and the jury and justice system although flawed, is the best system we have.
There are a number of BOI threads where someone is accused of being a Bad Guy, yet later input and evidence exonerates them.

If you are too fast at cutting off hands, there really isn't much to be done if the person is later exonerated.
I am in no way saying that people should not be punished for their misdeeds. But is immediate vigilante retribution especially of a permanent nature a good solution? Imagine if it was your kid or spouse that was falsely accused and had a speedy and permanent correction administered by a few that were intent on justice but mistaken as to the facts .
 
Read other threads on this person. Youll see why, at least, I dont need to see any evidence in this thread about what he did. Hes a liar and a scam artist, plain and simple

Pm me and I'll tell you where to send the 10k for the vid. Keep in mind that there will be no identifiable landmarks, or facial and vocal identification.
I can't be the only person that had to help with the attitude adjustment of a juvenile bully, without me laying a hand on him.
 
Enough with the off topic remarks and name calling...some of your accounts might handle another infraction, some won't.
 
Yes, the "guy" did get me. Just got my refund from his account via paypal today. So, all worked out for me in that regards. Again, I hope anything and everything this "guy" has coming to him.
