    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 Salvatore DeMasi (OnlyOneCanoli) Stealing snakes.

I didn't even know this thread was still going on....I haven't heard anything for months. I put it over to my lawyer and he's supposed to be handling it. Sal said he'd do a payment plan, but still hasn't sent any money to him either.

I'd done a little bit of research on Sal before I did the deal with him, but didn't see anything bad on him just yet. I saw that he was having trouble paying people, but since we were doing a trade deal, I figured it was no issue. In 10 years of breeding ball pythons, this is the first trade deal I've been screwed on. I won't be shipping same day anymore with anyone unless I completely trust them.

He talks a good game...ALWAYS has an EXCUSE, but never delivers.
 
That female Spector was supposed to be shipped to my buddy in his end of trade he has yet to complete. Sal offered to send the Spector and a few other snakes to him for a trade. He said he shipped the snakes ups and had them on hold at a facility. He would not let go of tracking info till the snakes where in ct. The snakes are in my possession and he was supposed to call me to confirm and pick up. Well come to find out he never sent a tracking nor did he ship anything he had full intentions of burning him again. Sal suposed to work for ups. Be ashamed if they new what he was doing. He also lives with family wonder if they know what he is up to. Very soon we can all see his mugshot. Sal ur time is almost up. Make sure u send us your address so I can send u your soap on a rope ur gonna need it being little skinny guy in there.
 
Just so u know he was trying to make good on a prior trade and do another trade same time. But he had no intentions of ever completing the trade.
 
What I would like to know is how in the world is he getting a tax refund if he doesn't have a job? I mean...I guess his "wife" could be getting one, but with only working a part time job, how could he possibly think that the refund would be enough to pay off the people that he has scammed? Everything about this guy screams "liar", "thief" and "scammer". I read through the thread over at BP.net and I am just stunned at this guy's audacity. I sure hope that everyone involved with him gets their money/snakes soon and that this guy goes to prison for fraud. It is exactly what he deserves.
 
As I said over there all my refunds are done and in bank except federal which should be this week. Sal when u gonna pay these people now. Are u gonna out it of now till apr 15? Then file so u can jerk around these people to July.
 
That's because you pay taxes on unemployment and you usually don't make much.

Well maybe it will work out. If he has kept u in loop on things sounds promising. Hope sal finally steps up to the plate.
 
Well, it was in response to me sending him a text first. So I don't hold high hopes. Hopefully Dan and Luke have started to receive their money and mine will come shortly.

The last contact was on 2/12, that was over a month ago. That is not "in the loop." :ack2:

He is stalling and dragging it out still. I do not think anyone is going to see their money, ever. He will just dangle a little tidbit, then disappear, rinse and repeat. He's had plenty of time to make this right.

At least he was outted on most of the ball python related forums and people are wise to his game.

Luke's last update was in January (I think), I would wager that if money was being paid he and Dan would update everyone.

Looks like Sal will always and forever be labeled a scammer. It's a shame, he was given a lot of chances to make this right.
 
Well before Brian posting he had to contact sal first. I assumed sal made contact which to me seemed like sal was heading in a good direction. But Brian had to make contact first so that nulls that theory.
 
He has Facebook page sal demasi Bridgeport ct. Can u post pics here I took his off fb page but not sure if mods allow.
 
Did any one else get their money yet? Last I heard from Sal was on 6/9 stating he would be mailing a check on that Friday. No response to recent texts.
