[victor121]

OK SO I WILL TRY AND POST EMAILS HERE OF THE TRANSACTION- BUT LONG STORY SOMEWHAT SHORT- JAMES MAXWELL ? -email addresses omega [email protected] and [email protected] ...IF THATS HIS NAME- PUT A AD UP IN THE BP SECTION FOR A 1800G FEMALE EMPEROR PIN FOR $3500, SO I MADE HIM A OFFER AND HE ACCEPTED IT OF $2800... I SENT HIM A FEW PAYMENTS OVER A COUPLE OF DAYS AND WHEN I SENT HIM THE LAST PAYMENT HE DELETED HIS E-MAIL ADDRESS- I DID HIRE A PRIVATE INVESTIGATOR TO TRY AND LOCATE HIM- BUT THAT IS IN THE WORKS. FIGURED ID PUT IT OUT THERE TO WARN PEOPLE. HERE IS A FEW EMAILS AND PAYMENT PROOF:
-------the emails start from the top of the dotted lines sorry- so you have to go to the dotted line and read upwards--

I am not interested in any trades... I may be able to do 2800... That is a little lower than what i wanted my bottom dollar on her to be...

she is an 08, never bred her yet... I got her a little over a year ago in a trade from a guy in Oregon... she is eating med rats...

Yeah that is fine. Would you be able to do $3000.00? That was kind of my bottom dollar. If not I understand, and the $2800.00 would be fine. I am a very flexible person.

[Focal]

Maybe I missed it but have you filed a claim with paypal?

 

[victor121]

yes of course- there working on it also-i should be getting my money back soon but still- thats a serious fraud move and just though i should let people know...

 

[MajorLeagueReptiles]

This guy had a photoshopped image of that emperor pin and I posted a comment on his thread saying he was a fraud, and he went on to say that the snake was sold and was pending, then deleted the thread. I was hoping he was just kidding, but wasn't expecting that he actually sold it.

 

[Amelanistic Orca]

Whoopsie daisy!!!! I always hated it when I didn't do my work.. I feel for you Victor.. Bum deal..

 

[victor121]

Yea.. Shoulda done my homework.. But thought people should no anyway

 

[chamgirl99471]

Victor.. You should definately be able to get your money back through Paypal which is a good thing.

Is there anyway a Mod could pull up the ad on the Pin so that people can take a look at it? Just curious as to what was photoshopped in the ad and whatnot and to show an example of what people should look for.

Thanks

 

[Steveboos]

Well that is umm, unfortunate that someone who steal $2800 from you. Especially considering how good of a reputation you have on Fauna.

 

[bloodybaroness]

I hate to see anyone get scammed. Victor, I hope everything gets sorted out. Good luck.

 

[joe23]

well- victor- now u know how ur customers must feel.

just with a slightly difference- u probably get ur money back...

people who want get money back from u get pysically threaten from u...

 

[victor121]

Whatever Joe.. I explains myself in the other ad and refunded the person with issue with me.... This is not the post for that.. I was just trying to warn people.. And people like you make me not want to even post to help you...

 

[David Scarboro]

Well that is umm, unfortunate that someone who steal $2800 from you. Especially considering how good of a reputation you have on Fauna.

Not sure where you are going with that, you might want to reconsider. If you are saying that the op should be scammed because he is in the midst of a questionable deal, I think you will end up looking bad yourself.

 

[David Scarboro]

Would you rather he didn't bring it here? Maybe the warning will save someone some money! There is a thread to address concerns you may have with the op.

 

[Steveboos]

Don't put words in my mouth, I said nothing of the sort. I just think unfortunate is the best word to describe what happened to him in this situation. Plus without hearing both sides of the story, i can't make judgment.

Victor does have a 50/50 reputation on the site, so it explains why it's unfortunate for him.

Once again, don't assume things if you don't know what the poster meant.

Actually, I got it exactly right. You tell me what "ummm" means. And what does his reputation (50/50?) have to do with him getting scammed?

"Well that is umm, unfortunate that someone who steal $2800 from you. Especially considering how good of a reputation you have on Fauna."


You put the words in your mouth scooter, not me. You were being sarcastic and got called on it. Stop crying.

I don't think David was putting words in your mouth, or assuming anything....your sarcasm was quite clear.

I would like to think that what has happened in another thread with the OP is neither here nor there, he made amends and is working to get better I am sure. What has happened to him is wrong all over. No one would want that to happen to anyone, save a few other people..

Work with paypal to get your money back, being that he changed his e-mail and you can't get in touch with him it would be your best bet.

Some people say an eye for an eye, but that is not the case here. Here it is just theft and it seems there is no way the OP will get either the snake or his money back unless he goes through paypal.

Sorry this has happened to you, I hope things work out for you.

 

[victor121]

Yes I stated earlier that I am going through paypal but I thought people should no about him..
