    In short, DON'T! Email notices are to ONLY alert you of a reply to your private message or your ad on this site. Replying to the email just wastes your time as it goes NOWHERE, and probably pisses off the person you thought you replied to when they think you just ignored them. So instead of complaining to me about your messages not being replied to from this site via email, please READ that email notice that plainly states what you need to do in order to reply to who you are trying to converse with.

    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 Richard Anthony Leverock of pinallas park Florida DECEITFUL CONARTIST BUYER BEWARE

Thank you. Anyway, if this is the same Leverock it appears as if there has been similar behavior on his part for a while now.
 
Here is an excerpt (!!!BAD GUY!!!! Tampa Bay Exotics) post #38. I edited out a cuss word.

Its a shame you and gary want to go around bashing. You do realize now, if
you want to place bashing in place, well a customized website is going up on
you and gary
boa talk and TRR and will be placed on top of Yahoo. I was
willing to work the one GTP out but I guess I can utilize the money now to
do you that favor and place your new free website on top of Yahoo search
engines so **** you, that 180 dollars you so called lost will go torwards
that. Its funny how you all don't say you were banned for your stupidity of
spamming on pm when you know you we were in full support of your sites. Its
ok that 180 now will be held against you plus some, enjoy the GTP and you
will see your negative website up soon on top of yahoo.
Thank You
 
I met him online a turtle group I admin in November. He seemed knowledgeable about turtles so I offered him a mod position. He made a remark one day to a member of the group that upset her. When I brought this up to Anthony he told me instead of appologizing to her he would block her. I told him that was not acceptable as a mod in my group to block active members for such a minor disagreement. I warned him that if he blocked her I would remove him as moderator. He blocked her, I removed his mid position.
Cristin, could you please provide some background information for those of us who have not been following along on other sites. How long did you know Mr. Leverock, and was the kind of behavior that caused you to remove him sudden or had he already been showing signs of the bizarre responses that are shown in some of the screen shots?

Yes that is all the same Rick, Anthony, whatever. He has been doing this to people for many years. I found a few other threads on here involving him but as I'm new to fauna I don't yet know how to share links so thank you for that.

I want to add it was January 1st 2018 when I unmoded Anthony from the group. At this point it could maybe have been talked over but Anthony went straight to making slanderous posts about me and hasn't stopped to this day.

Cristin I am glad you made a thread about your experience. Whatever the nature of disagreement between two parties, this use of false websites to attack others shows that (in my opinion) people may want to consider having nothing to do with Leverock. It is not a mature or rational way to solve differences.

While I realize having someone moderate a Facebook group isn't quite the same as doing business with them, you may want to do a search on that person here and in the FBI Facebook group before making that person a mod. If you had you would have also found these:

Unfortunately hindsight is 20/20... Although I'm not sure I would have realized at that time that Rick and Anthony were one in the same.

For the record, Rick Leverock was banned from this site by one of my moderators a LONG time ago for his actions on, and about, this site. There are threads remaining here that likely detail that reasoning for anyone interested.

He has recently applied for a new member name, which is caught up in limbo because he has not verified the email address provided during registration, which I am not inclined to accept for his continued membership bypassing that longstanding ban in place. Based on his past, present, and presumed future actions, he is not someone I wish to have participate on this site.

I am sorry if some people would prefer his input concerning current comments about him.
 

Ordinarily I think it is good to hear from both sides but after reading some of the old threads it seems apparent that these sorts of threats and actions are an ongoing way of life for Leverock.
I'm sure he will still make a lot of noise somewhere.
 
I came across this image. Does this individual look familiar to anyone here?

Does this mean you have seen this individual in person or picture of him elsewhere? If so, where?[/




His record is public information. A person posted links to them in a feedback group, when I made my review post there.
Where we also found that we are not the only ones that Mr. Leverock had done this to either. There are a couple others that came out and said he harassed them also

I think it would be useful if they could come here and share their stories, please ask them to do so.


How do I update that I have a home in Valdosta as well and thats where the snakes were they are now in Florida. Our feeders insects are there but our snakes operate out of Florida.

What is your actual state of residence, I saw information for someone with your name in New Port Richey Florida, but I do not know if that is you? You are saying 'our', who else runs your company with you?

Lucille I can ask them if they will join and add. I know a few didn’t want to come out at first because of the harassment they endured with Anthony. I surely will ask them and see.

I can’t answer correctly for Addisen but I think the business is his and his brother.

From his criminal records as I just stated..
I should have been even more specific, "If so, where (can you provide a link)?"
An actual link or image file is more creditable than "I just stated".
