    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....

Hello I'm Japanese importer.

He swindled only advance from me.
Please check below.

First, I received offer from JPPETS of Joe Krefetz.
http://www.reptilestopetstores.com/
http://twitter.com/#!/JPPETS

We agree condition that I pay 50% advance when ordering and remaining 50% balance after received shipment.
So, I sent advance to Joe 1400USD (50% of total order) at 26ｔｈ Jan.
But next day,
He said that my advance had not reached his bank account.
I know it can reach to USA next day from Japan.
I dealt Strictly and US global in the past.
He never admit to receive my advance.
So,I requested to my bank for remittance certificate.
It need handling fee about 50usd!!
I got info from my Bank next day.
My expectation hit.
My advance had reached his account (USAA Bank) already on next day of remittance.
I was convinced that he was scammer then.
After some week past,
He never admit my payment.
So I consult to Mr Steven lynch of Sanford police department with all certificate(E-mail detail,TT copy,Remittance certificate.)
He contact to Joe and His Bank soon.
After that He admitted payment finally.
I can't trust him already then.
So I request repayment,
But He didn't accept.
Moreover he changed our first condition easily.
He said that wasn't shipped except full payment.
I consult to Mr Steven again.
He sometimes call and negotiate to Joe.
Joe repaid 1150$ except for 250$ of CITES charge.
But He never show the CITES.
I know He wasn't making CITES even any papers.
I asked him about the thing, but he doesn't accept.
I consult Mr Steven again.
He recommend me to compromise on a repayment of 1150$.
So,I agree about repayment 1150$.
I said to Joe about compromise and repayment 1150$.
But He never repayment and contact until now....

Please be careful.
Also Please consult with Sanford police past his victim.
It would be changed what a lot of complaints are.
Thanks for reading my poor English.
 
just recently got in a shipment from JP after trying to convince my boss not to order from them anymore. he didnt listen and did anyway. we received 6 iguanas, 2 had dropped their tail from them ALL being put into one bag. 1 of the iggys later died 3 days later from not even taking a bite of food. red head agamas, 1 lost his entire tail in the bag. mt horned lizards looked good. rosehairs that were ok but one shed in the container and really stressed the animal out. goliath bird eater whos abdomen was so small, it didnt look like he was fed in a very long time. egyptian rat snake which looked good, florida kingsnake that was very skinny and dehydrated.

i keep trying to prove to my boss that many of our animals we get from JP comes in injured, sick, die days after we get them. the only reason he stays with them is because there are not enough reptile shows in the year around us, to go to get our reptiles.
 
Wow. Hate to say, I am NOT suprised to see this. :(
Good luck getting him to repay. :(
 
Hello everyone.

I can't understand why he can keep working.

He also seems to be sending bad animals to customers in USA,
but I get nothing from him...He got 1400$ by only 5 times mail.
Very easy work...

Maybe He seems to swindle from only foreign importers.

I wish that more people notice his bad reputation and don't trade with him.
 
maybe some should file a report of animal abuse. all i have been hearing is how bad animals look
 
I just noticed a miss write.

The following is corrected.

(misswrite)
Joe repaid 1150$ except for 250$ of CITES charge.

(real)
Joe promised to repay 1150$ except for CITES Charge（250$）.

But He never repayment any money.
So,He swindled 1400$ from me until now.

Sorry for my poor English.
