Yeah, I'm sure that sounds pretty out there and far fetched, but unfortunately all of that plus about a million more things have went terribly wrong in my life lately. I can send you my medical bills and MRI if you'd like. I've never had a problem with the purchasing and selling of animals until here recently and it's ruining my life since basically animals are my life. I apologize if you want to take my misfortune and turn into something that questions my ethic or business approach, but please, and I do mean please, do not under any situation say or suggest that these things did not happen to me. Oh, and you want to hear some more wonderful news from the life of Richard Yingling? I had one of my closet friends pass away at the age of 24 and to top it all off, my grandmother died 4 days later. So, I'm sorry it seems that everything that could go wrong does go wrong with me, but this reptiles are the love of my life and I would never try to jeopardize any relationship I have with a buyer, seller, author, or any and everybody in the herp world.

To be honest with you, I find all of those things hard to believe... but if they did happen then fair enough.

Except they clearly didnt... because other people replied to that thread with
I just had to laugh when i saw someone had a bad dealing with him, here's what happen with me:

I had a wanted ad on kingsnake for large groups of 3-toed box turtles, he replied to it and he said he had 50 of them, we agreed on a price. Then i asked what about shipping, and he said he wanted $200 for shipping because there were so many. But i said the deal would never be worth it to me after adding $200 to it, so i told him i would split it. He said ok, and that he would send it second day, and ship that tuesday for thursday arrival, it was spring at the time, so i figured what the heck. I havn't done any 2nd day shippings this year at all and really hate doing them, but i hoped for the best. Well tuesday night comes and i emailed him for the tracking number and he said we said he would ship on wed. And i showed him the email where he said he would ship on tuesday! because i already made plans to be here thursday for there arrival@ I told him i wanted them shipped out wed for thursday arrival and you take the loss because it was your screw up, So wed comes, and i get a phone call this time! And it was him, "Andy my g/f hit another car and destoyed it and i have a bad back now, and i have to go to the hospital' But i asked him if he got the turtles shipped and he said yes, he had them overnighted FED-EX. I had my doubts by this time. So thursday morning comes, i never thought i'd see my turtles or my money again, mind you i had over a thousand dollars in this deal, but my door bell rang and i signed for the box and they were mine! The box weighed 52 LBS, i would of hated to see what it costs to ship that! There were 3 dead out of 50. He said he would re-fund me that money, but it has been over two months ago, and still have never seen the money! But hey at least i got 47 alive turtles, this guy though, really seems out there and quite the jokester

and

got lucky. I had bought a Female Red Tail from him and he gave me the exact same excuses. EXACTLY the same and everyone of them. After about a month he gave me my money back but it was rediculous. After all that he said he couldn't ship because he wouldn't be making any money off the snake. I bought the snake for 85shipped (a steal I know but he was saying he really needed to get rid of her, he didn't have the room) He said there was only one place for him to ship and it was gonna cost like 60.00. I have never heard of DHL charging 60.00 for like a 2lb box??? I am sorry that you got screwed. If there is anything I can do to help let me know. In my opinion this guy needs to be banned from the business. :censored: Thanks. SSR.

oh...
and the original lady with(out) the hognose just posted this...

Forgot to mention that I am reporting him for internet fraud to The Internet Crime Complaint Center (IC3) Maybe that will get his attention!

Oh, and a quick question. Do you have something out for me or something? I know we don't know eachother, but just trying to figure it out. Well first off, this post, you seemed to be making fun of my disabilities or by saying that they were not even real. Also, in the post about sperm plugs, you seemed to act like I was a moron by what I said, which in that post, I clearly said I may be wrong and please correct me, but my answer was my opinion due to other statements I've heard in books and on television. Well anway, I'm sorry if I was wrong about the attacks or if you were just trying to expose me for the disabled half-cripple that I am with a lot of huge, not so common problems occuring back to back. I'm not really sure that helped any of the greif or depression that these things have caused though. Well anway, thanks for making me feel like more of a worthless cripple than I already do.

And seriously... 3 cases of you blatently misleading people buying herps from you... and you reply with "thanks for making me feel like a cripple"

Dont use a disability as an excuse man. I didnt even mention it, you brought it up yourself.

Yes, unfortunately those things DID happen, and if those people would've written more about the entire story, they would've had included the parts about our converstations about my stuggles from day to day and we had worked out an agreement. None of them have brought it to my attention that they were upset with anything. All I've gotten from them is "Take your time and when you're in a better situation we can sort this out" or "I'm really sorry about all the trouble you have been having and you we can fix everything when you get in a more stable financial standing". But, I guess that's the way things go. I keep being torn further and further down until I feel like nothing and it seems like every time I turn around there is another foot stepping on my head. Anyway, like I said before, none of those people showed any sign of anger or aggrivation towards me and I had no idea they felt that way, so to them, I apologize. But, like I said, it may take a while but I can provide you with all documentaion of the car accidents, different types of surgery, and all up to date information on the several conditions I have in my spine and vertebre. Also, to you, I apologize for the response "thanks for making me feel like a cripple". I was freaking out because life just seems to be getting worse and worse for me with nothing to look up to and in the comotion of me crying and wondering over and over what did I do to deserve this, I got a little carried away. But the truth is, that is what my conditions make me feel like. Would you like it if your doctor told you that you would never be able to do any of the physical activities you once did and that you were going to be addicted to pain killers for the rest of your life. I mean, when your own doctor has an outlook that awful, it's kind of hard to think positive although I do my best. Well, here's the end of this one. I'm sorry if the writing about me has caused you all to question what type of person I really am and I can't blame you. I would probably be wondering to if I saw those things. I also know that you all don't know me very well so it may be easier to lean toward the negative person. Anyway, for what it's worth, out of every since person i PERSONALLY know, I seem to be the sweetest, most caring, giving, and thoughtful person out of all of them. I hope a few people that talked about a few mess-ups I had and didn't bother to mention that they had never shown harsh feelings towards me and they were actually really supportive of my whole situation do not act in your decision on whether to like me or hate me and think I'm something that I despise (liar/thief). I've been a herp head since I could walk and I love the things you people do, so I would really hate to lose it over something that was put out completely out of context to what the person and I were communicating about, but I thank you for your time and would just like you all to keep in mind that there are many things in life we can't control and even sometimes they happen over and over to some of the best people in the world.

Hey man.. I'm not asking for evidence...
And perhaps those people didnt show any signs of anger or aggrivation because you stopped replying to their emails?
Also... if all those excuses were true.. how did you manage to use the exact same excuse for two different people?
Are you saying that at two different times your dog happened to chew through your charger in the middle of a transaction? and at two different times when you were going to the airport to ship snakes your friend had a seizure?? and two different times your girlfriend/fiance (you cant seem to make up your mind which one she is) wrecked the car on the way to the airport? ...................... come one man...

Also.. I'm guessing that THIS ( http://www.snakesofarkansas.com/forums/viewtopic.php?p=5548&highlight=#5548 ) is the hognose you were trying to sell...? I'm pretty sure that illegal according to another post you made on that forum..

Sounds to me like you're digging a rather deep hole...

I have never heard sooooo much crap from one person. He is trying to justify his scamming of people. Dude you say you never want to jeopardize your name, but did the lady get her hognose yet? you said to her that you had friends that told you not to sell it because it may be a new morph, well you should have asked them before you made a deal with this other person. Once a deal is made, it's made regardless of anything else. People that back out of deals suck and I know I have no respect for them.

Here's a clue :
Your customers don't care about your problems, issues or tragedies. They just want their animals.
If it is such an issue delivering on what was promised then you obviously aren't ready to be "in business". Give the woman her money back.
Personally I would never do business with some one who is victim to so many calamities. I'd be ascared of that black cloud following them around.
 
I've heard this before

Well, This sounds familiar. Are you any kin to Chris Johnson of TSE? Next time try and find an excuse that hasn't been used to death. Instead of weaving a plot like a Mexican novella, why don't you try the truth? "Useless Cripple", I resent that you piece of :censored: . I spend every day in a wheelchair and I certainly don't consider myself a cripple. The wheelchair is just a tool, you were useless long before you ever sat in one. I would venture to guess that until now no one here even knew I was disabled, because I never thought it affected my character one way or the other. Character is in your head and heart not in your legs, so cut the crap and give the lady her money or her snake. :angry:
 
Richard, I feel very upset that the payments you've been sending me were partially funded by the money you should have sent Jenea as a refund. I would like to offer you a way to make everything right -- I'd like to send Jenea her refund, taken out of the money you've sent me. I can then add the $60 to the remaining balance you have left on the female ball python and you can make payments as you have been. I'm going to repost this on the RDR forums and e-mail you to make sure you see it. Let me know...

this is like watching a mini-series on TV.....i guess this would be the part where the commercial comes in..........
 
He hasn't responded to my e-mails or any of the posts I made about the idea...hopefully I'll hear something over the weekend. Jenea, I still would like to send your refund regardless of whether he plans to cover it or even finish our transaction. Please drop me a line next time you're on so we can work out the details.

I think I would set a date to hear from him by. Email him that date and say if you don't hear anything by then you will refund her money and add it to his bill.
:thumbsup:
 
Good idea, I'm going to e-mail him again. He's got until December 1st to either get in touch with me or finish the transaction. It's been almost 2 months since we first agreed on the payment plan and the last I recieved anything from him or heard from him was at the end of October. Jenea, you have a message on Yahoo.
 
How odd that I all of a sudden get a bill from PayPal with this message:

Hi, this is Richard, and things seemed to be going really well for me so I thought I could buy some new snakes. Although, what really happened was the worst thing possible. I Had a impacted/clogged intestine, and had emergency disc surgery on my lower back, so I really don't see how I can pay for these snakes. I was just wondering what kind of refunds you do and then maybe we could work it out. Thanks a million. Also, please e-mail me at [email protected] because I lost my internet usage and with-in a week somebody had hacked my password so I can't use the old one anymore. THanks, I look forward to hearing from you.

I replied to his new e-mail address:

Richard, I recieved your Paypal "bill". The TOS for this sale was that I could do a long-term payment plan for you but all funds recieved were non-refundable as I've been housing/feeding her for the past 2 months. You agreed to those terms before you even sent the first payment, I made sure you understood that. I find it odd that you are now trying to break the TOS upon your name being plastered all over the BOI for not refunding Jenea's money for the western hognose that you never shipped to her. As it is, I'm taking the $60 refund out of what little money you've sent me as it should have gone to her in the first place.

Jen

Then about a minute after I sent it, I get a notice from the Hotmail postmaster:

This is an automatically generated Delivery Status Notification.

Delivery to the following recipients failed.

[email protected]

:rolleyes: :ack2:
 
Sounds like another BS excuse. If he is using paypal, it has to have a valid email account. So I would just send your message to the email address associated to the paypal account. This was just a last ditch effort to hopefully get money back from you. :ack2:
 
I know this thread is old, but I wanted to post an update in regard to where this left off. Pay close attention to the dates on each e-mail...

You are THE coolest person I've ever met. The only reason I even wanted that money back was to pay Jenea back. I have felt so awful about what happened. So, PLEASE send the money to her as soon as you can. That would make my Christmast a lot better considering how bad
it's been looking to be. But after your send her the money could
you please have her e-mail me to let me know she got it and to let
me apologize. Also, please send her $70 because I feel like such an
idiot. I can't say thank you enough but thank you.

I will refund her money, but why would I send an additional $70? That would
cause ME to lose money, YOU should be sending her that $70 Richard. I am not your personal bank account.

I have not heard from you in a month and in that time period, the
female you were paying on has been sold to another buyer who paid in full within 10 minutes of inquiring. Our transaction is closed and I will not be doing further business with you.

Richard, you agreed from Day 1 that I would do this payment plan under the terms that all payments recieved were NON-REFUNDABLE, you would complete payment within 4 weeks, and remain in contact. You broke the agreement by failing to uphold your end. You expect me to issue a refund over 2 MONTHS since I last recieved any money from you with only scattered intermittent contact? No. I'm sorry you have "things that came up", but I along with Jenea and everyone else aware of these two transactions are tired of your excuses. I will not take food out of my child's mouth to void our agreement and issue you a refund.

How are you taking food from your kids when it was my money to begirn with me. Nevermind, I don't want this to get rude or anything like that. That only reason I needed the money back (minus what you were going to take out for your firned) Is because. My spine is so crushed, I can't work, therefore, I have no source of income. 2nd I'm waiting on my lawyer to prepare my case so he can take what little money I do get form disability. I feel like I went to a young adult to and elderly man. My injury is forcing me to miss everything
that normal humans do from the age of 22 to however long until
they're body catches up with them. BUT, I completely understand what
you're saying. I just wish more poeple were compasionate and enjoyed the feeling they got from helping somebody out in a great time of need. Well, god bless you, and for you I wish all the best. OH PS: If you know any good

You agreed from DAY 1 of this transaction that all payments recieved were NON-REFUNDABLE. That nullifies any argument that you have.

I broke both my hips and a vertebra in my spine while SERVING MY COUNTRY, yet I got no help other than a boot in the ass to go back to Wisconsin with a medical discharge and a chunk of change. I get no help, I put up with my injuries and work 2 jobs despite the pain and limited abilities. The VA has had my claim for over a year now but do I mope about it and tell bill collectors my sob story? No. I still have to pay my bills, they don't go back on contracts or forgive debt if you get injured.

Um...You know, through all the garbage this kid told you there is one very minor detail that nobody has remembered:

DSL will do a pickup from your house. Especially on a live animal. I've shipped live animals overnight and have had them pick them up as some of the shipping stores around here won't take a live animal from me.

So all these excuses about him amazingly not being able to drop off the snake is crap
 
This guy is warped. I doubt he has a girlfriend, but in the slight chance that he does, his gratuity of using her as a scapegoat is something else.

Good luck to all those that he owes.
