    Scammer Revealed... ***nvp***

    We've been watching him closely from the moment he first "appeared"....being pretty sure that he was already VERY familiar with us. Due to the amazing detective work of our very own Deborah (aka Frenchie! ) we have the final nail-in-the-coffin to prove he is the same guy in this thread:

    http://www.ball-pythons.net/forums/s...ad.php?t=75779

    See Post #40 of this BOI thread for Deb's discovery...

    http://www.faunaclassifieds.com/foru...d.php?t=118681

    He has spent a lot of time on this site browsing our sales forum. He may have contacted some of you to inquire about animals you have available. Please, please be wary.

    Re: Scammer Revealed... ***nvp***

    Here are the emails that this person sent me offering info on the where abouts of my animals. Sorry I haven't been able to follow the recent threads on here and the BOI. I just posted all the info he gave me after he said it was ok. I didn't want to jump to any conclusion until I can really look into this.

    Take it as it is for now and I will add to this once I have time tomorrow night to review everything.

    Since Michael is ok with me posting his emails here they are. Take it as you wish. Based on some preliminary investigation I did I am still not sure what to believe at this point but this person Donald Rollins just through me for a loop. I've updated the police reports including this persons name so we'll see what comes from it.

    Hello, this info must be kept off the forum's as the guy knows me and where I live, he also ripped me off selling me fake hets for lav. albino , I bought one last year bred it this year then tried to sell the babies when I found out the hard way I was scamme , but not before I traded for another 1.1 pair with phony papers! Again please keep my name out of this as I have young children and a family. My batteries on my keyboard are low so if some misspellings occur thats why. you had the mojave and ghost, correct? well he traded the ghost off at the last all-ohio show on oct. 4 for some boas, I was there I saw it, I have been dealing with this guy for about a month or so now, we had tables next to each other at that show and at he last west carrolton show.the mojave is at his house in dayton. along with the other guys 1.1 fires and the spider, I know its his spider becuase of the "moustach" seen in the pics.And a bee but I didn't see anyone missing a bee,I went there to talk to him to try to get my money or something back for what he screwed me on and took these cell phone pics, they are horrible bu your mojave is in the bottom left hand corner balled up!! I promiss these are yours! I even saw the paper work for the fires! his name is donny rollins, he is using another guys house in new carlisle to ship too and he uses the computers there and at local libraies, he is on parole for drugs as he just got out like 6 mos. ago. I have a phone number and email address and I can get an address. but I warn you if you let him know he will get rid of them! as he and a friend also have a shop or "rescue" in miamisburg,oh that guys name is jay,check dayton craigslist for reptile rescue's, again it's donald lee rollins and jay ??? donny's phone is 937-718-1889 cosler ave,st, or dr. in dayton,ohio I can figure out who he traded the ghost to at the next show in columbus on the 25th anything else you need i can get it!!

    He has a run down house he is trying to sell at that address but no one stays there he stays with some girl on cosler he has a bunch of animals there,I have seen your guys animals there like I said you can plainly see the spider and a fire in that pic. ou are more than welcome as he has screwwed me over as well and pretty much stolen a majority of my codom's in the trades for fake hets now my animals are gone, and I'm not a man of very much money or animals so it's going to be very hard to rebuild my collection! Maybe as a token of gradatude you can give me some really good deals on a couple animals!! Lol Let me know what else you need I will, get the names of the breeders he traded the ghost to, and if they have it up for sale a pic.Thank you. Michael

    I will have to think about that, I am very sorry but as I said, I have a family and small children. I and have to live here, you guys don't, he knows exactly where I live, as he came here to get my animals, my animals are long gone, they aren't at his place, or at jay's. I checked, belive me. I mean to guy is a criminal that is on parole still, he would most likely do "whatever" to stay out of jail. I don't need any of this carrying into my families life. But I am happy to do as much sluething as you need. I can get you an actual physical address to where the animals are know which is where he is staying. If you can get the people he traded the ghost to you may not need me as a witness anyway.I hope you understand where 'm coming from on this one, I'm not trying to be difficult at all. But this is affecting my biz as well as everytime I put up an animal everyone thinks "I'm" a scam becuase of where I live, I'm having problems right now on the boi becuase of it! Read the thread and the problem now is that the caramek male I speak of in the thread is "Jay's" so Now how am I gonna get picks of him and my female together since they are avoiding me becuase they scammed me! I a going to look very bad. Not to sound like a junky or anything, lmao, but would you be willing to hook me up on a couple deals? That sounds pathetic I know, but I'm just trying to get a few things back from what I lost so I can get back on track. I sound awful....I am sorry... Michael

    Are you willing to add your name to the police reports I already filed? Maybe you can get your property back? The officer said I already have a good case against him in civil court but I am holding out to file criminal charges against him instead.

    Thank
    you my friend, I will still consider getting into the invest. on paper.
    But I need to see how this thread on fuana pans out if the guy figures
    out I'm outing him he might try something drastic towards me and my
    family, that's why I have been worried about the thread, I don't care
    that people are trying to discredit me, I know me and I know what I
    have done, and I have done nothing scandelous. I honestly don't care
    what the forum's say I just want this guy to get what he's got coming.I
    can't afford 1000(you wrote 100 but I assumed 1000, if it's 100 I want
    them, lol) right now, I am looking for guaranteed hets from someone
    reputable. Like albino hets, and a female spider 1.1 yellow belly..As I
    don't have much cash now and I have gotten screwed on most of my
    snakes. But I greatly appreciate the offer. Are you going to come up
    for the show in columbus? On the 25th?

    Re: Scammer Revealed... ***nvp***

    I found it interesting that he only started emailing you when the Fauna thread was started, yet he knew about you and your story since he had joined on BP.net

    In his email he claims
    we had tables next to each other at that show and at he last west carrolton show.
    Yet

    Not sure about you but it sounds like someone that has issue being able to keep up with his own lies
