truth
To all those who want to know my side of the story...here it is.
I have replied to both Matt and Alison off list, Matt who seems to reply to everybody else's wont reply to my msg off list......but anyhow no reason to do the name calling he has done, and call him a coward for not replying to my private email, but goes to show ya, I am doing what I can to resolve this matter. From here on out, I feel there is no reason to respond to everybody elses's 3 minutes of fame. Sure Pam has attempted to help me out, not because she is brain washed or anything silly like that, but becasue she knows the REAL me and knows and has seen what I really am going through. Thats not the point here though, the point here is I am trying to rectify the problem, sure I need help, but at one point or another....haven't you? If not, plz share us your secret on the perfect life. I am not being sarcastic, but I could say, no thanks Pam, I dont want your help, screw them, I would prefer to screw them over......JC
this is into reply to the many ?'s and rumors being posted out me.
#1) yeah I did have a deal w/Mr. Matt Jillon for what he has said. But as to intentionally rip him off, well this is a long story and to make it simple here goes.
I met Matt back in October if my memory serves me correctly, which would be a blessing if it did. As some of you know, I have been ill lately, more than I let even some of my closest friends know. I just had spine surgery finally, about 10 days ago. If any of you know aht happens prior to surgery and after surgery could be the only one who know what it has been like since my injury in October of last yr, only thing is, it decided to get worse.
Some rumors even have been posted that I have been working and am employeed, is that the truth..no. Some people who hear what they wanna hear even posted that I am working and bought a house. Is that true..far from it. Here is the story on that one, an old boss of mine heard what I was going thru and know what what I was facing, offered me a house to live in and keep up, whatever I and my family did to fix it up would go towards the house. It had been sitting for over 3 yrs and he needed sombody to help with the up keep and paint it because it was an eye sore, so we agreed, my family and I). So, not all is what it seems so far huh?
To answer the big ? here that has everybody talking.
Did JC screw over Matt and Alison?
Frankly no. here is why. First lets deal with Matt, the main complaint and go from there.
Yes, Matt did pay me for such. Did I screw him over and not supply him with his animals? Did the chams he referred to really die like he said?
Yes, my chams did die when we recieved a cold snap?.Yes, We had a bad winter storm blow through, in return, the power did go out through the night and part of the next day. When I woke up in the morning, we were still w/o power. My first instincts was to check on the chams. Yes, they were w/o power too. When the power clicked on in the afternoon, my heatlights came on along with the rest of their lights and heaters. Unfortunately the damage was already done. Over the course of the next wk, his chams (along w/Brian's from Norcal Chameleons) started to die from upper respitory infections.
I did let them know of what was taking place and told them I had other clutches coming up and I would replace them once they started to hatch.
I never once faked an illness of my chams nor myself, both are and were legit.I talked to Matt, and explained all this. Unfortuantley, even my other eggs were affected by this. Needless to say those eggs never made it.
I did email Matt back in Feb and let him know about htat, and even offered him a total of 10 replcements when my good eggs, which were soon to be dumped hatched to make up for the difference and trouble I had put him through, this was back in Feb...6 months ago.
I never did hear back from the guy, then he emails me while I was recouping from surgery...during the days of being bed bound and was not checking my emails. Needless to say. that email was sent during that time I was fresh out of surgery, next thing you know, I am facing this. Wow.
Second Alison...
We had 2 deals, might I add, she never commented on how the first one went...smooth. But anyhow, its only the negative things that get reported, so let me address that one. Her and I had emailing problems..which I even sent her the things I sent her that was still in my sent box that she stated to me that I was never sending or replying back to her and this was proven wrong to her.
Our second deal was like the first, I would ast as the middle person and I hooked up her orders and made a small commission off of her. Like I earlier stated, the first one was good, the 2nd one, well, too make a lng story short...she had a reptile show she needed to attend to the original shipping date was not going to work for her, so I emailed the person who was gonna send her the chams, the date that was gonna work for her. The perosn agreed to that date, I never did hear back from her for a month, When I did, it was "where are my chams". I forwarded my connection (the person who was suppose to supply the chams) the letter and she said she would take care of it and I should now stay out of it. A few months go by, all is good right, no...another friend emails me that Alison was aqusing me of screwing her over, so I emailed her and told her I would check it out, well the person who was gonna send her the chams...Mrs. Becky Sargent from Modesto, California, phone # had been disconnnected and the email address she used was no good, so I forward this off to Alsion and the next thing you now...here I am under attack and might I add, most of these people who are posting negative things about me, and you alll know who they are, dont even have a leg to stand on.
I have been in the cham business for over 4 yrs..close to 5 and have sold well over 500 chams during that time. I have received alot of "Kudo letters" and phone calls from people to help them w/their sick chameleon through this time.
What is really fasinating is not the wolves trying to jump on the blood wagon, who dont even know me , but the pepole whom I have helped, either with their phone calls at all hours of the day or night or giving them a good chameleon at a great price who do not defend me because they are scared it may make them look bad.
I am not saying what I have done is right...I have emailed them both trying to get it resolved..I have heard back from Alison, but Matt ignores me and continues tio bash me , so come on.....those who dont know me that are pipeing in...like the one from Washington...Mr. Blaine Brownie...just who are you...have I dealt with you...hummm, just like I thought...so then be quite!! If you wanna deal with me...email me off-list. In other words, if you dont know me, or have dealt with me with a business transition, know your role and shut your hole.
Morgana, I have already dealt with you. I have a special reply for you...its on my list, I recommend you read it and then you may reply...until then, I will say now what I said then...you too, can follow the advice given above...shut yours too.
Soo............was I done right, no, am I screwed, yes, by others like Becky and myself, and oh yeah Brian.....I dealt with you on my list...oh yeah.....I forgot, your not a member, too bad for you, for those of you that are my members...I guess you can read it.
I must say, during this time of down and out..I have seen who will stick up for me and those who just want a piece of the blood. I must thank a "Special Someone" out there.the person knows who they are, uinlike some...I dont need to give this person reconition for them standing by my side....they dont need their 3 minutes of fame of some..some who dont even have a leg or a tongue to stand on.
I hope all of those whom have read this can see my point and understand, I have tried, was and am I in the wrong...yes, have and am I trying to correct it...yes, do I need help with it...yes, wouldn't you?
Thank You for your time and for those of you who read this and can see both sides of the story before jumping in on the band wagon of "3 minute fammers"..........JC
