McKyle
I have also got scammed by McKyle. Here's a timeline of the events:
- I paid for snakes on Saturday, December 12. The paypal ID I used was
[email protected]. Communication was good and shipping was schedule for Monday for Tuesday delivery. He said he would provide me with a tracking number once he had one
- Monday, no response.
- By noontime Tuesday I did not receive the snakes nor have I heard from him. So I sent him 10-12 emails asking if he has shipped the snakes.
- Tuesday night I get the following response from someone named Jeffrey Tyler Keith McDaniel:
"
Hey there,
I was just responding to your other messages. I am not sure what a Mojave is - I'm guessing some kind of animal - but I have had 2 others contact me via phone about these. If you have sent any money on Paypal.com, MoneyBookers, Western Union, etc. I advise you to file a claim immediately - these transactions were not, as far as my knowledge goes, legitimate. I have no control over any of the money since it was not delivered to me; rather, I believe someone has been using my e-mail address and personal information for these transactions. I have no business in any online marketing.
Sincerely,
Jeffrey Tyler Keith McDaniel"
- In disbelief, I ask him if it wasn't him that I had been corresponding with and he says
"
Correct. It is, however, my e-mail address that was being used. I never have and never will involve myself in any transactions online."
I don't believe any of it. To say that someone hacked into your email AND paypal account right AFTER payment was sent is absolutely bogus. This guy needs to be investigated and dealt with accordingly.
I did some research and found that McKyle on fauna has sold and bought with different names and emails but the address and phone number for this guy is consistent. I can share all of them privately, or perhaps post them here if it is permitted. I can say that google maps with the satellite view does give me a good picture of what "his house" looks like....
I have also filed a claim with paypal about this. They said they have contacted him and are waiting for a response.
I did not use my credit card, but just used funds that were already in my paypal account. Do you guys think I have a chance at getting my money back? Since RulingReptiles also filed a claim against him, I hope paypal is smart enough to recognize the scam.
If anyone else that has either done business or is in the midst of a transaction, please come forward and share your experiences.
I strongly recommend that everyone (buyers and sellers) to not do ANY business with this individual in any way, shape or form.
