A few points here. I hope that the pics that you have to identify the animals are bigger than they appear on here as it isn't that easy to do so based on the size of the pics from the ad in the Summer. A judge may accept expert testimony from the parties that you have mentioned since they are experts in the field but to the untrained eye it maybe tougher to tell especially with that size of pics. The onus will be on you to prove that he was dishonest in the deal since you are the one bringing on the action. I am not a lawyer but I did stay at a Holiday Inn Express last night
I do not see him admitting that he lied, etc. was that done in text or email or on the phone? If it's not in text or email and was done verbally it will be tough/virtually impossible for you to prove what you said that he told you. If it's in black and white then there is no doubt that he did as you've said that he did and he's in trouble if he doesn't right this.
I too have been scammed but in a non chelonian deal, the best thing that you can do is learn from it and try to recover what you can out of it. Do not make the same mistakes again. If you are a trusting person, reserve that trust for those that have earned it and try to be more cautious for your own financial protection.
So, yes you have brought up some very good points here, he sent me an actual contract, that stated if they do not prove out het for snow or caramel, then he will refund the $6,000 plus $1,000.00 for keeping expenses. But the problem with that is, that I cant sue under that contract until they hatch some eggs, maybe a year or two.
Now, he did state on his text messages, that he guarantees my satisfaction or my money back - so of all the complexity, those few simple words may be the ones the judge hears the loudest. And those few words could save the day.
Okay, so also, the package arrived two hours late, so this slimy scammer even got a refund from UPS - lol - I mean, I guess stealing the $6,000 was not enough to satisfy that greedy itch.
Please see the text message screen shot attached, where he agrees, to my confirmation about "adults" - I can show the judge these are not adults, not even close. I will find a reptile expert in Vegas to come to court and testify about that when the time comes. So, your absolutely right, a lot of my evidence will go right out the window. However, I do have some hard core evidence, enough to show without a doubt that Andrew Popp is a lying crook.
Okay, so lets say I lose? - I will wait until they hatch out, and then I will sue again, and this time I will have a black and white signed contract to nail him with.
Also, since his shot Scales N Tails are involved, they are being sued also, and I am speaking with the DA about criminal charges. -
Okay Okay, so the your thinking the DA is not gonna do crap right? - Well that may be the case, but who wants to chance that.
What if the DA feels for me, and issues felony warrants? - And Andrew Popp is not likely to be given a bonus from his boss for getting them all sued, unless, like I suspect, they are all in the theft ring. They came from the owner and were sold by a saleman of Scales N Tails (Andrew Popp)
Anyway, its a lot of risk, I really truly believe that Scales N Tails and Andrew Popp will think long and hard, before they scam the next guy. - Im never gonna stop, Im gonna sue and sue until they make me stop. And im leaving reviews on BBB and everywhere else about Scales N tails involvement.
Also, get this, Andrew Popp sends me an email the other night and says I have crossed a line, and that he is gonna get me for lible and slander>>> HAHAHAHA - Bring it on you little lying, cheating, scammer!
