    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....

Well I hate to do this~ because it’s embarrassing to admit how I helped him rip me off~ but others should be aware of him in case he gets better at his thieving and actually rips off someone who doesn’t see it coming.

Back on 10/14/08 I sent 7 Ball Pythons to Rick Harrelson. He SEEMED like a nice guy and promised me a pied from his 09 breeding season but I didn’t believe he would actually do that~ I figured he was new and didn’t realize just how much work it was to get a pied from your hets and once he figured that out he wouldn’t want to follow through on that deal. He insisted he would but I just asked that he pay shipping for the Ball Pythons and IF he proved out the failed ghost project that he send me one of the ghost babies. I really did think he was just a nice guy new at this and I thought I was being nice helping him out. Unfortunately I may have just given him snakes to rip others off with.

Shipping was cheap because he is not very far from me~ according to Mapquest only about 4 hours (Maybe I should show up on his doorstep Christmas Morning with the police to repossess my snakes? LOL!) ~ so I only asked him for the $35 shipping. He promised he would send me a check on 10/14/08 and THAT I actually believed. I figured if he was scamming me he would at least send the shipping so it was that much longer before I KNEW I’d been scammed and trashed his name.

Well~ No check for the shipping showed up~ So I emailed and asked him for it on 11/1/08. He emailed back that he would get it out that week and that he had surgery…….can’t you even come up with an original excuse? Oh well~ I knew for sure then but I didn’t want to admit on the BOI that I had helped him rip me off so I emailed him again on 11/17/08 asking for the shipping. He wrote back saying if I could still take Mastercard he would pay me. I was never able to take Mastercard…..so I wrote him back and told him I could not and it would have to be a check or paypal.

Haven’t heard back from him. So~ I hate to admit it but I helped this Jerk rip me off and you should be aware of him~

So the Search Engines can find this Bad Guy thread easier if he tries using a different name:

Rick Harrelson
201 Cabriolet Trail
McDonough, Georgia, 30253
770-843-1046
[email protected]
His name comes through on the Yahoo emails as Rick Harrel

He’s got my snakes so he may try selling them or breeding them and selling the babies~ I’m not really mad so much as disappointed in myself for believing him. I hope his name, address and phone number being listed for the world to see as BAD GUY was worth the $35 shipping.

Photo IDs of the snakes he has~
If he tries selling you these as anything but a FAILED ghost project don’t fall for it…..

On 11/1 you promised to pay her shipping. I understand surgery, since I am a registered nurse. That might have prevented payment for a few days, but not for this long. You did not get back to her to arrange payment through paypal or the many other ways payment could be processed, but you showed up here right quick once this thread was written.

Also, I'm not sure what grounds you might have for slander. (BTW, you might brush up, libel is the word you sought). She does not seem to have made any malicious false statements, in fact you implied in your 'break thebank' phrase that what she said was true: you agreed on $35 shipping. You have not made good on your word. You are the one that needs to make reparations.
 
Rick

Does Cheryl have three seperate Emails over the last month in which you promised to send the $35 for shipping? BTW, that breaks down to a cost per snake of $5 each for yearling animals. I don't think that I would be trying to spin this as "doing her a favor"

I GUESS YOU BELIEVE EVERTHING SHE WROTE OK NOW SO YOU WILL KNOW WE TALKED I AGREED TO BREED HER NORMS THE DRAGONS DEN WAS TRYING TO SELL FOR 100% HET FOR GHOST AND TRY AND PROVE THEM OUT SHE AGREED I AM TIRED OF THIS SHIT I DO NOT WANT THESE SNAKES NOR ANYTHING IN THE FUTURE FORM THE DRAGONS DEN I DO NOT NEED THESE PROBLEMS BUT SO YOU ALL KNOW NOW MY LAWYER HAS A PROBLEM WITH THE DRAGONS DEN AND ITS OWNERS BECAUSE ALL SHE HAS WRITTEN IS A LIE I RECORDED ALL AND EVERY CALL WE HAD AND THE STORY SHE IS TELLING EVERYONE IS WRONG ( POOR POOR PITIFUL ME ) IS THIS WHY YOU ARE NOW IN AL.

Rick, scan the envelope that shows that your letter containing the check came back.
I really do not believe that you have retained an attorney for Cheryl's request for $35 worth of shipping which you had agreed to pay but so far, have not. I think you are lying. Provide your attorney's name please.

:shootfoot

Your lack of proper grammar, punctuation and manners does nothing to change the fact that YOU owe the money. Name calling and making excuses for yourself also does not change this. It does show you for the total tool that you are though. :ack2:

I suggest you grow up & pay up.

Rick, you accepted the snakes and promised to pay shipping. You have not paid and it is a small sum. Now you are throwing words around instead of manning up. I think that you are establishing a rep- a bad one; if you can't pay thirty five bucks when you agreed you owe it, I do not think you will get much future biz.
 
Rick

Instead of blustering and threatening legal action which isn't going to happen, why don't you simply box up the animals and ship them back.

Problem solved.

I seriously doubt that after this display Cheryl is particularly interested in her animals being in your care anyways.
 
Yiddish definition of "SCHMUCK":

Schmuck, a Yiddish word, has a range of meaning depending on context. In its most innocuous use, a schmuck is a person who does a stupid thing, in which case "dumb schmuck" is the appropriate expression.

A schmuck's behavior ranges from pesky and inconsiderate, to obnoxious and manipulative. A schmuck's personality type ranges from jerk to bastard.

Schmucky behavior also falls within a range of intentionality. Some schmucks carefully plan their bad behavior, some only a little, and some not at all. For example, the bastard may spend considerable time planning his bad deeds. In contrast, the dumb schmuck and the pesky behave badly without any forethought.

Welcome to faunaclassifieds Ricky!!!
