Barry,

I think that future readers are going to read this thread, and take from it that if an issue is brought up to you, you are simply going to attack the asker with something that has nothing to do with what is being requested of you. That is not a good way for your customers to feel.

Can you just briefly discuss the posted indictment issue and let people know about it, and move forward, so they don't keep wondering?

And both of you, this is a professional business site, how about some courtesy?

Hi Lucille,

I purchased 9 reptiles from a guy in Thailand 14yrs ago who said he did it all the time. I knew I needed some paperwork but had I known it was going to land me in federal court I never would have done it. It was a mistake and moved on and have the respect of many professionals in the turtle and tortoise community these days as well as happy customers. (Just see David's reply earlier in the thread. And I honestly don't remember David so it's a testament to my business conduct these days).

When Jay was questioned about his "legal" naultinus geckos on FB he automatically went to guns and tries to bash anyone who questions him. It's arrogance and mindset that's created this whole fiasco and him trying to shame me. I've already been replying to text messages from people asking me who this guy is?? (And making some choice comments about him). I really don't know what his goal is other than trying to slander me over something more than a decade ago. It shows how weak and immature his attempt really is. Especially from someone who just had a child and should be spending more time with his family than living on the BOI seeking the next fight.

He knowingly sold newts that were sick and dying and then blames the buyer!?!? I don't have those issues with my buyers at all. You can look me up on this BOI and see all the positive feedback I have. My reputation speaks for itself. Hope that answers your questions adequately.

Regards,
Barry

How it looks to me, Jay offered proof, Barry denied having his source post the info, looks like Jay has nothing to hide and Barry knows his story will fall apart if the messages are posted. Not saying that's for sure what will happen but to an outsider it sure appears that way.

Julia, what are you taking about? I posted the messages from Shahrokh and he just replied also! How much more proof you need than Jay is really the hothead. Not me. I don't get pissed when someone has a problem. Jay threatens his buyers!! Nice guy!

Barry, if you could post just once without trying to deflect im sure it would make a big difference in how people perceive you. Honesty and a little humility go a lot further than constantly trying to put the spotlight on someone else. The title ofor this thread has your name in it not Jay's, that means you are the topic of discussion, not jay.

 

[Spectrum Reptiles]

This was from bad mouthing people in typical Jay fashion. Need I say more? People in glass houses shouldn't throw rocks. I'd like Jay to show some proof on how I threatened him. How about asking him for proof? He threatens, bashes, and hides.

Wholly smoke Julia, I just answered Lucilles question and laid it all out. Not sure what more I can do? Now that it's out, can we find the reason for jays need to post it to begin with? Especially since we've never done one transaction? Nor have I ever initiated any thread about him?

 

[juliasara]

All I saw was you and him bad mouthing Jay, that's just 2 guys agreeing they don't like someone, where's the actual proof of Jay doing anything wrong? Or that Jay ever even did business with him? People can lie, it happens all the time. If people just took what others said all the time and didn't ask for proof how fair would that be? If someone was saying all sorts of bad things about you wouldn't you want people ask for proof? Anyway like I just said this is about you not jay so how about you explain how you just said you bought animals fromantic a guy once and ended up in court yet there are 2 different cases that have been posted. Care to explain both this time?

If courteous additional questions about your business are asked, reply and try to keep the focus on the questions. Resist talking about others, especially their family lives, while answering. It is easy for a thread to get out of hand, do your part to not let it get to that point.
You too are a businessman. I think it would be good to take the high road and show your readers and buyers by your answers and language that the focus is your business.

Look Julia, it's clearly obvious your a Jay fan. Show proof he bought them from Jay? He just acknowledged that he sold them to Sharokh!!! Again, I just stated what happened to Lucille. I'm not going to keep repeating myself. Have more important things to do. Like spend time with my family. Not sit on here repeating myself over and over. I showed proof and even the buyer chimed in and you still want more? Good bye!

 

[Jay Sommers Reptiles]

I was not going to get involved however I was more than patient with you. Waited almost a month to receive any newts after I had paid, I received the wrong number of animals. When the newts started to develope health issues you were of no help. You were aggressive and confrontational. I have all the texts if you'd like me to post them somewhere.

Yes please start a boi thread about your experience and please post all texts between us. Don't forget that I replaced animals that died weeks after you got them. Also don't forget that I gave you extras. Also don't forget that you were actually quite offensive. Also badgering me on Easter when I asked over and over to talk to me the next day. A monday. The reason I didn't help you is because I was done helping you. Because you are a pain to deal with. Just look at the way you and Barry talk about me behind my back. You never said anything to me... It's a reflection of both of your character to talk about me the way you did. I don't talk like that about people behind their back.

 

[juliasara]

There was a court case in 2002 and one in 2014, your explanation only covered one of those, what about the second one?

 

[Jay Sommers Reptiles]

I don't see any backfiring going on yet. At least, none that has to do with anything other than you deflecting. In another thread, you stated this:

Are you saying that the screenshot showing the 2014 indictment is involving a different person that just happens to share your name? Maybe you were trying to say that you don't have any currently-active federal indictments, but it seems you could have worded that better if you were trying to do anything besides deny that you were ever in that position. Once may just be isolated incident caused by youthful indiscretion; two documented indictments for being actively involved in trafficking smuggled animals could be seen as an emergent pattern of behavior. While I'm sure you'll have some people to come forward and say what a swell guy they believe you to be, I'd hope that a great many will stand up against those who choose to take any part in smuggling wildlife.

I agree.

 

[juliasara]

By the way I'm not a Jay fan, I just know the rules here and that Jay is not the topic of this thread, you are. I was referring to what your post said, nothing else and in your post there is NO actual proof of anything. I'm not saying Jay never sold to him or that Jay never admitted to selling to him, I'm simply saying in your post there is nothing to prove the transaction ever happened. Anyway I'm not feeding into your deflection anymore. AGAIN THIS IS ABOUT YOU, NO ONE ELSE, SO PLEASE DON'T MAKE ME ASK YOU AGAIN TO EXPLAIN THE 2 COURT CASES.

 

[bookit89]

Who cares about old court cases? It would seem Barry learned his lesson and moved on. I for one have had nothing but excellent interactions with Barry, from chatting via social media to the awesome customer service from his employees both over the phone and at shows.

Jay Sommers, however, attacked me via social media when I questioned the legality of his nautilus geckos, he then proceed to get a pack of his followers in on it and basically had people talk shit on me and the "rarity" of my animals, until I lost interest and left the conversation.

I'll let you do that if you like, please post all texts between us. I'm sorry you feel I was "badgering" you. I had waited a month to get my animals, I got the wrong ones that were smaller than originally agreed on and not fully morphed. I reached out to you and yes you replaced dead animals that in my opinion were sick to begin with. I had to play nice after you became defensive to ensure I would at least get what I paid you for. Our texts span over 2 months. You still technically owe me a Crocatus but I don't want to risk introducing anymore sick animals into my collection. I never asked for freebies just what I paid for. Again I had to choose my words wisely as not to piss you off or no would get nowhere with you.
Rude
Offensive
Dishonest
That's how I feel about dealing with you.

 

[Craig Wyatt]

I'm not sticking up for you. You were involved in smuggling. But what is the point to drag up news that's 10 years old. It public info and it's been public info for a really long time.
I don't post often but I was really curious as to what the goal of this thread really is.

 

[juliasara]

Why is it so hard to comprehend that this post isn't about Jay? It's against the rules to keep taking the thread off topic. I apologise to the admins for responding as many times as I did to the off topic posts. It's clearly a bad attempt to deflect. So can we please get back on the topic of this post, Barry lambert.

 

[Shahedayat]

Proof. When an animal dies weeks after receiving it especially an amphibian I would hardly call them sick. Please post some proof. Just tell them to start a boi thread about the issues and I will happily respond. Still waiting on your response about the indictments.

I reached out to Barry because I was shocked at the way you were treating me as a customer. I asked him for advice on the newts and how to deal with you. But this thread isn't about me. I hope you change the way you treat people and customers who put their faith in you. And if animals are sick not sell them period.

I attack no one. Why are you or anyone questioning the legality of any of my animals? I don't respond well to people accusing me of smuggling naultinus. I find it offensive and insulting. I do not have a pack of followers. If anything it's the opposite.

Frankly sounds like you are a jay hater and one if Barry's followers??

Julia, if your going to be attacked on ethics, be prepared for a cross examination. You don't get to put people under a microscope without being looked at the source who made it. Play fair Julia.
