John Dumas And Pamela From Extreme Exotics Scam Scam

[DanielA989]

I recently got burnt by these two. I would just like to warn everyone so nobody makes the mistake I did. I bought a 05 het. pied female for $1000 from them. They have used the same paperwork from the snakekeeper too sell many animals as het. pieds. They also have burned others by saying they haven'
t recieved snakes.... etc. etc. Just wanted to give everyone some heads up...

I just got burned....

I saw these threads on BOI the other night.

Thank you for posting this. We should contact everyone we know in the hobby and warn them about these two scammers.

Daniel. I read your post 2 times, and I am still unclear as to how exactly you got scammed. Did they not send you your snake?, or did you prove that the snake was not Het. Pied? I just wondered what happened to you?

I read the posts...I've never seen anyone get so flat out busted in being a scammer. Kudos to those guys for the background work they did...it was hilarious. John Dumas claimed he had no relationship with Pamela, yet everything that was dug up basically pointed out that they know each other VERY well. They make for a great...looong....read, but it's funny watching all these excuses and stories. He lies so much he can't keep his stories straight.

Man, sorry you got burned...really, it sucks.

Everytime I read about a scam It remind's me of top shelf crap xotic's and how they burned me. A message to all you newcomer's just starting up your collection's don't go cheap, buy from breeder's that have a great reputation. Do your homework!!

They are sending out normal balls and they are sending the SAME paperwork with all of them. They are sold as het. pieds. When it came in it had rat bites, dry shed, mean and 300 grams under what it was supposed to be. In the forum on fauna there is THE SAME i.d NUMBER with a snake a man had purchased from John this was the same i.d he sent me. ALong with his other scams him and pamela are pulling on people. One person sent a pewter just thios past tuesday to trade for some pieds they then said they didn't recieve it and the dhl driver said jon dumas signed for it.

It amazes me that people scam others in this buisness, do they think that they wont get caught? I mean you got the BOI, and alot of breeders are friends and sites like this that help newbies like me to watch out. so why do they think they need to scam? is it really worth the little bit of $ you would get over the greater potential for cash if you start with good stock, be honest and build up a good name? I just dont see what goes through these peoples minds.

A con artist isn't interested in building a name for themselves. They're interested in getting as much money as they can in the con and then moving to the next con. I can guarantee, they had no interest in the ball python business, they just saw a way to get quick money and milk it as long as they could. I dare say they'll move on to another venture if they haven't already (now that pitbulls and ball pythons have been exhausted).

Man that sucks! So sorry to hear that you were one of the people that got burned by these scum bags.

Thank you for the heads up though. I hope no one else gets ripped off by these two people. I don't know how people can do these kind of things and sleep at night. Sickening!

LOL I literally spent HOURS at work reading that thread on the BOI.
