    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....

Inquiry STEVEN MILLER? JAMES COZZA?

Yes, hopefully this guy is ran out of the hobby. I received a PM from one of his friends over night that basically stated what we already know. That he is a piece of garbage and a criminal. The friend has seen his collection and confirmed that he didn't even own the snakes that he offered up to me. I am going to see if I still have the pics that he sent me. If he does, maybe we can figure out where they originated and who he hacked those from.
 
Steven just contacted me yesterday 1/11/2012 wanting to do a trade of his pied male for a....well he was kinda all over the place, a male Albino a female Pastel het Caramel then it turned into a albino male a female het Caramel and a female het Albino. He called from a (850) area code, I do have the number locked in on my phone but, I don't know if it is right for me to share? Anyhow he is suppose to contact me again today1/12/2012 around 1:00 to 2:00 about discussing the possibilities of a trade. However I really have no use for a pied male. And if he reads this... I doubt he will be calling.

Thanks for all the new info guys!!!

I'm kinda new here, and I found this forum extremely helpful!!! Needless to say I am not doing any business with him!!!
 
Here are (3) pics of the male that he was to send me. I still need to locate the pic of the female. Hindsight 20/20 I figure these are taken from a computer screen using a cell phone. At the time, he explained that they were terrible cell phone pics so I didn't put that much more into it.

So, has anyone else seen these photos in a past listing?? I am guessing he obviously robbed these from another listing as well and passed it off as his own. Nice to know that he is already passing my Helix off to other people though when he never settled up on it. :angry:

I really appreciate you coming forward with this Shawn and separating yourself from it all. It is clear that Steven is a criminal and is going to keep attempting this with other people. At some point, since he is running his name into the ground at a rapid pace, he will need other acquaintances to join forces with so that the crime spree can continue.

I know that in my dealing, Steven chose to do most of the transaction over the phone. This is smart from a criminal's perspective as there isn't much documentation to prove one theory or another. Fortunately for me, we texted quite a bit too so at least I have those printouts for the authorities.

One thing that I suspected from the beginning was that he was 18-19 years old. I even asked him point blank his age and he maintained that he was 23 years old. He also was big on name dropping listing all of the resources that he had bought from through the years, etc. He was REALLY big on throwing Brians (BHB) name out there.

It's a shame that as much as I talked to this guy on the phone over the course of a day, that he knew in his mind the whole time that he was a thief and that he was just going to rip me off. That my friends is a sad, sad individual.
 
holy snikies this is some real funky crap going on I am just glad my name was cleared woke up this morning and saw all this still going on wooowwww good luck to all of yall and sorry to hear that people have to be shady but I live by a saying I heard from a very respectable breeder and he told me at one show ""be careful there are more snakes walking around then there are on the tables""" and that is so depressing this is suppose to be fun and enjoying
 
Did anyone get any other photos?

The three pics posted above by Jelas Phat Phibs are pictures of Steve's Piebald.

I'm curious if he sent out any other photos to anyone? I had some pics of bumblebee, BEL and a few others elsewhere online....he could have copied them and sent them out as trade offers. Did anyone receive any photos from Steve other than the Pied?

Yes, that is my female Piebald!

That is my picture probably from a recent ad posted online.
I know Steve knew I had an ad online with four nice pictures of different
ball morphs. Taking all this in this morning, I kinda figured he may have
taken some of my pictures. Here are all the pictures I used in the ad.....if you've seen any of the others, please let me know.

Boy you are going to have to block a lot more people than him. I don't care how many infractions I get, every time you post on this site, I will return with a post to this thread so everyone will see what you are doing. If I have to, I will hunt down everyone you know and inform them of your doings. You are lying to some of the best scam busters on this site and you are as transparent as they come. You need to spend a little more time in the BOI than perusing the classifieds and realize you are making all the stupid mistakes others have that have destroyed their life (some even in jail). You need to do the right think or this WILL haunt you forever ...


Jeff, do you have the address to the package you sent to his house or is it on that tracking link? Anyone know if this kid is underage?
 
Yes. I retained all emails, texts, photos, shipping bills, etc for when the time comes that they are needed. He is obviously some teenager that lives at home with his parents. I dug up his home online and it is a nice, cushy beach house in Tallahassee. Way too nice of a home for a "23 year old" that makes a living scamming people out of reptiles and supplies.
