    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....

Bad Guy Phil Robbins and Jeremy Hargett ( jsh reptiles )

Let me shut you up completely......probably not because that's what little trolls do.....run their mouths but here goes.................


So.... Me and my business partner (neither one of us is the "boss" but it doesn't matter to Rudy because he is insane) Have an African shipment come in. (like we have been getting for years) On our packing list as well as on our CITIES paper work states we have (among other things....close to 400 animals) approximately 50 Androctonus togolensis. NOW, My partner picks up the shipment, calls me and tells me it came in and mentions we have scorpions in the boxes. (Weird because we didn't order any that I know of) . I ask him what kind of scorpions and he say the paperwork says Hottentotta hottentotta, Androctonus togolensis. To which I say "NO FREAKING WAY". He assuses me that's what the paperwork says. I advise him I won't be by to help with this shipment as I would be very busy for a few days. He say no problem and would take care of everything. I advise him I would see what I could find out on the togolensis, Hence the thread on Arachnoboards asking about them. In the mean time, my partner (who mostly does wholesale lots of animals) put up ALOT of ads for togolensis. AS THAT IS WHAT HE WAS TOLD AND THOUGHT HE HAD. When I did get around to going by to our facility (which is after I started the thread on AB) I knew from the get go that all the scorpion we had were H. hottentotta. and I advised people that were interested in togolensis that they were not. (actually we did have a couple togolensis but I'M KEEPING THEM). So I told my partner what was what and told him to take down the ads. to which he did. (save for 1) What a horrible guy. Now this little troll starts his little hissy fit. Pay close attention to how he goes from "do you have X for sale" to YOU GUYS ARE SCAMMERS AND CONS AND YOUR GOING TO JAIL. he never waited for a response from my partner he just jumped down his throat. When he did ask me he flipped his wig spouting off about me being a scammer and what nots. When he did this I had no idea what the hell he was talking about. After some digging I figured out some guy saw the ad that was MISTAKENLY left up and asked my partner. (who at that moment didn't know Androctonus from his elbow......still doesn't). Said guy also asked for an ID on AB and this little troll is the one who responded. From his response to my partner and I becoming scammers was about 2 seconds. (LOOK AT THE TIME STAMPS).
He fully admits that I stated in the AB thread that I DID NOT HAVE ANDROCTONUS TOGOLENSIS. So because It took me a few days to track down the guy who authored the paper on togolensis and my partner who was just going by what 2 different governments and our exporter said was in the crate and tried to sell them as what he was TOLD THEY WERE we are scammers and con men. Not that any of my business dealings are anybody's business especially this sorry little troll.

To recap.....We did not sell anything that we did not have. All that actually happened was when someone was attempting to buy something, they were directed to the appropriate person, and the matter was handled correctly.
Nobody bought something we didn't have.
As soon as the mistake was discovered we fixed it. (save for the 1 ad).
But this little troll has gone from board to board to FB to any and all places he can think of to try and run his mouth. Well troll you are wrong again. go to bed.

I really like your explanation however what's with all of the name calling. It's not that serious. Yes, you feel like he is trying to tarnish your name but you are looking like a complete buffoon by the way your talking in front of thousands of people! You are tarnishing your own name by not only being a sexist with previous statements you made, but also really rude. I'm done replying to this thread. Good luck to you Philip and good luck to you also Rowdy
 
And since the admins are watching this thread....
Since this guy has been proven to be a troll and makes baseless claims and trys to slander people I want him banned from here. This site does not need people who make baseless claims call people scammers and refuses to stop harassing people.

I will need at least 3 hands to count how many infractions you've made.:rofl:
 
from what i gather togolensis are protected the same as l jordanenesis so congrats on admitting that you have them (which i still highly doubt).

again....where is Jeremy??

did you mean "going to bed?" that's what i was hoping you were doing while we waiting on Jeremy.

name calling is still a must huh? you just cant conduct yourself like a normal person. typically i don't profile people or judge books by their covers but if anyone reading could see what Jeremy looks like....youd see why he has an attitude. typical biker, garage type venomous keeper with run down enclosures and fresh import snakes. floridas loose local ordinances allow for some colorful keepers i tell ya! lol

Nobody asked you anyway.
 
In the mean time, my partner (who mostly does wholesale lots of animals) put up ALOT of ads for togolensis.

While you finally have an explanation, it's been a long time coming, and could have been put up sooner.


Now all you little trolls can go circle jerk to somebody else. Bye bye.

You could have simply issued a businesslike explanation for the ads for togolensis that you admit were published. But instead, you chose to be insulting and demeaning.




We're waiting little girl.
That wasn't very smart.
 
Still running your mouth? just admit you are a troll and be quiet.
You started all this for nothing and now you want to keep talking crap?????
Really???? you little troll.
That's all you do. And I know the truth about why you are so hellbent on the whole togolensis - hottentotta thing. Just because you got scammed because you don't know squat you want to take it out on somebody. Sorry troll I'm not the one to play with.
 
this is the first time ive actually read a thread while eating popcorn. isn't there a little symbol for that here??
phil went from digging with a shovel to graduated to a backhoe. hahahaha

And your point is? Please refer to what I told you years ago.

People are not banned here for presenting their side of an issue. BTW, good to see that you actually are complying with the full name rule now after all these years.
 
i got scammed?? please do tell :) ive got one of the top 5 rarest scorpion collections in the country. somehow i got scammed though??? i need more popcorn!!

please do yourself a favor and stop making a fool of yourself. as you can see, everyone says you are rude. I'm sure you don't care though. you can leave anytime youd like if you are tired of reading. no one is keeping you here. if you've said all you want to say and proved what you think you needed to prove, leave. its your choice phil.
 
phil knock it off!! stop attacking others for chiming in. address the issue and ask Jeremy to explain. Lucille or anyone else doesn't deserve your negativity. i cant speak for anyone else but myself and i can say that you don't affect me one bit. if you've just got to be negative, direct that to me. itll be fine, i promise. :)
 
No. I can't behave like an adult, it's the internet. Duh.
I still am not sure how NOT selling something I DID NOT have is a scam.

(not having a quantity I'm willing to part with)

I am not in charge of Jeremy.... believe it or not, he (and I) have lives outside of the internet, and I am not going to tell him to leave his family alone for a while to entertain your silly conspiracies on the internet.

I'm rude? Unpleasant? So what. We aren't friends in real life. That's irrelevant.
More importantly, YOU (Rowdy, and those that are jumping on the conspiracy bandwagon) are irrelevant.
Within MINUTES the text messages went from "can I buy some?" to "IT'S A SCAM I AM GOING TO HAVE YOU ARRESTED, DRAWN, AND QUARTERED!!!!!"
My bad Rowdy; again, having a life and all.... I'm not sitting naked in front of the computer with my nether bits in my hand, typing furiously when I get excited by what ASSUME to be a scam (you know, like I'm guessing you're doing).

So, let's recap.
Yes, I'm rude. Unpleasant to be around if you're on the lower end of the IQ bell curve, even.
HOWEVER, that's irrelevant, because I'm not asking ANY of you to be my new best friend, and/or fondle our nether bits with me while we find fake scams and yell at people on the internet together.

Jeremy - I don't own him. He'll reply, or not, at his leisure.

If another person's willingness or ability to speak (about an ad that was forgotten about and taken down as soon as he realized it) is an indictment of guilt (upon a separate party), then (whomever is saying that) needs to re-read the definition of "guilt".

Was I calm and eloquent enough this time? No one is confused or suffering from a wicked case of butt-hurt because I used naughty words that are only for grown ups? Apologies, I thought I was dealing with adults.... LOL There I go thinking again!

You contradict yourself right out of the gates Phil! You say you have an African shipment come in, and you knew from the get go all the scorpions were Hottentotta. Oh but, actually you did have a "couple" Togolensis. You the invertebrates manager expecting a shipment of close to 400 animals, among other things, didn't order any scorpions, yet were sent about 50 Togolensis, most of which, but not all, were Hottentotta? The reason you didn't sell anything you didn't have is because you got called out defore you had the chance.
 
wow. you did take it down a peg or two!! congrats on a decent start! I'm sure everyone forgives you. :) .

p.s. you realize me writing Jeremy to "buy" togolensis was a sting right?? no pun intended. i know for a fact you are smart enough to know that i wouldn't have sent him money for togolensis that you told me didn't exist. haha.
maybe what you are not smart enough to realize is why i asked for a paypal address. maybe you are forgetting that a option for payment furthers the fraud claim.

i really sense a difference in that last reply of yours. I'm thinking maybe that was your final reply?? thatd be great by the way so this thread can rest easy and other can refer to it later in life and make their decisions based on the content within. if its in your favor...congrats. if its not...sorry about your luck.

....i need to get up and find some clothes apparently. ive been detected!! uhoh.
 
Chris!!!!! that was perfectly put!!!!!!!! love it!
trust me....he doesn't have togolensis. ive contacted all of my german contacts who are the most prolific collectors on the planet. none of them claim to have any either. i was asking them for a picture just so i could see what one looks like. phil doesn't have any!!!
