    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.....

    Addendum: 01/10/2026
    =====================


    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....

Steven Baker of SC Bad News!!! HELP

Thanks for your persistence Chris. Education is the only way to keep low life scammers like the Baker's from repeating their routine successfully TOO often! You'll NEVER see your $800, I'll never see my $1600, Pete B. will never see his $1600, etc. etc., etc..... ad infinitum.

Hi all this is Chris Godino also previously registered as reptileboy1122. I wanted to let everyone know that although 6 years later I have still kept up on the return of my $800 from Steven Baker. In the last few months I discovered Steve on Facebook. It turns out him and his scammer wife Shannon are back at it again and are selling reptiles as it shows via the Face Book posts and pages they have. I sent private messages to Steven on Face Book only to have him again say of course he knows he owes me and will get me a check out once things are better. Well its 6 years and he has still not returned me back the $800 he stole from out of my pocket. I will get this money back eventually, even if this does not aid in the return of my money. At least my thread comes up again at the top, teaching everyone not to buy from Steve or Shannon and hurting his pathetic business.

Thank You

Ha ha, if they were serious about paying you back, they could have just sent $10 a month and by now they'd be almost done. I guess they'd like us to think permanent "Depts" don't count as "stealing" in their book but I don't know what else to call not getting someone money when you say you will :shrug01:
Sorry you got taken, but I'm glad you're keeping on them.
 
Wow...I guess I'm 1 of the lucky ones. I dealt with a guy named "Bill" from S. Carolina about a year ago. He took my $100 and never sent me my white faced GC boxie. After "applying pressure" I got my $$$ back after about 3 months. I just found out his real name is Steve Baker and did a search. What a low life.
 
STEVE BAKER STILL A SCAMMER

Hi Keith sounds like Steve Baker EXACTLY!!!!

:rolleyes: Now he continues to message me on Facebook telling me he will still pay but that I should not drag his wife SHANNON BAKER (SWAMP WIFE THEIF) into it. As far as I am concerned she is as bad and worse than he is. She used to leave me voicemails saying how I am stealing food from her kids mouths by posting on here and talking her company down (WHAT COMPANY? what a joke?). WHY THE HECK would I care when they stole $800 from me straight up over six years ago. I am sick of Steve and all his threats of come to SC and get your money, I am sure he could not even afford the stamp and envelope to send it if he ever had $800. Its 100% apparent I will never get this money back but at least I can keep this Threat going for the next ten years, or until he gives up on stealing people’s money and being a true joke in this industry.

PLEASE EVERYONE: DONT DO ANY TRANSACTIONS OR BUSINESS WITH STEVEN BAKER/ ("Bill from SC)/SWAMP WIFE (Thief) Payne and all the lies and crap that go along with it. IF I CAN PREVENT ANYONE FROM PURCHASING FROM THEM MY JOB IS DONE. It is amazing how scummy people are these days, just learn from my lesson and many others who have been robbed by Steve on this thread
:shootfoot
 
Alan , I owe you nothing , Keith i am not (Bill ) or have I ever used the name Bill . iI do know who bill is and he is and he has lost father ,father inlaw and brother inlaw this year so maybe the time you are talking about is when he was back and forth to nj. putting them at rest . but you did say he refunded your money right ? just wanted to make sure someone else didnt pay for my mistakes . chris calling my house and threating my kids will get you no were .

Now that you have made the above claims, do you plan on paying people the money you owe? Just admitting you owe money and have flaws doesn't excuse you from paying what you owe. If you don't intend on making good on past debts then you need to modify your statement from above and acknowledge that you are a low life and a scammer...

So you are not Bill but you know who Bill is?
Why is that? Someone comes on here and states you scammed them and you claim No, but I know the guy?

He only identified the person as "Bill" from SC but you know who the Bill he is referring to in the whole state. You were quick to offer excuses for him too.

Just like your posts here years ago. Nothing but excuses for taking peoples animals and delivering nothing. Pathetic!

By the way, you need to use only one account on this site. We don't allow multiple registrations here any longer.

I normally do not reply to these threads, but as a dealer in tropical fish for 28 years and who is owed $480 by a previous customer for some 15 years now I really only have one thing to say to you Mr. Baker...you sir are a deadbeat!!! You will never pay the people you owe and you know it. If you can't man up and pay them what you owe them at least man up and admit to them they will never see their money.

You sir are pathetic.
 
Holy Shit! I didn't know all this. I knew that he had a bad rep but nothing like this. BTW this is Dennis Gowan from Gowan's Snakes and More in Marietta, S.C.. Slytherynhiss let me look on their site because I FORGOT my login info. I have a question about all of this. 2006 was the 1st post and he's and she's still in business. I know 90% of the people he screwed outta money and animals. He's and she's still going strong nothing has changed. If the law is still looking I have a current address and several phone numbers. HE DID NOT SHIT ME. However he has not and she has not changed both are still lying pieces of crap and still crooks.
 
Congratulations - you just earned your friend an infraction. I suggest that you try to sort out your log in difficulties, and get on your own account, before posting again. (Any further posts will simply be removed, anyway).
 
By the way, your username is Dennis Gowan. If you attempt to log in with the incorrect password, you will get a vBulletin message that includes a link to the password retrieval system (it says "Click Here."). Your password will be sent to the email you used when you registered (unless you changed it in the system since then, in which case it will go to the updated email).

Steven Baker-Shannon Payne STILL AT IT!!!

Steven Baker-Shannon Payne STILL AT IT-Really makes me SICK. I see on Facebook that it appears that Shannon Payne-(Swamp Wife Thief) and Steven Baker (Swamp Boss Thief) are still together and still trying to sell reptiles. I am still owed $800 from 2006. Steve has been on here to say he knows he still owes me money but to no surprise NO MONEY. It has been many years, I make it my job to bring my thread back up at least once a year. I hope that it will save someone in the future from loosing hard earned $$$$$ and being scammed by people like these.
