Joanna,

I sure will. I'm not going to let this guy get away with it. I emailed him saying he has until Tuesday to delivery both of my animals back alive and well. In the mean time I will be gathering all the information I can get in preparation of having to go to the cops to file a report.

I urge anyone else that has been scammed by him to come forward. Feel free to email me at samnangleam@yahoo.com or call me on my cell 773-454-0995. I will hold off on filing the report until Tuesday to see if this guy makes right by both Chris and I. Even then, if he's scammed anyone else and doesn't correct this I will do everything in my power to help those scammed to file a report.

I'll keep everyone posted on here and Fauna.

Thanks for posting this here, I almost never go over to the BOI anymore. This guy goes to the show here in Columbus- scary stuff.

This makes me sick to my stomach.

I'm so glad I have you guys.. I tend to be a sucker for scam artists...

wow...thank pb.net admin, and sam...i too was thinking about the camera trade...i went over to BOI...OMG!!! that there are people out there like that, makes my skin crawl

He gave me Tim Koppenhofer's name as a reference since he does the show in Columbus as well. I've done business with Tim before and I find him to be a trustworthy person. Tim also does the shows here as well.

Although Tim has done business with Matt before it never involved a transaction that would require Tim to put trust in Matt. So Tim could not vouch for this guy. I called Tim about this and will also email him with the details so he knows this is going on as well.

I wouldn't expect Tim to do anything but I just wanted to make him aware of this as well as other that maybe potential victims. If you see him at the show would you smack him upside the head for me please? :D I'm only kidding, please don't do that. :colbert:

Don't thank me it was Chris Huffman that started it. If it wasn't for him I would have sent him a replacement ghost and mojave and would have been out of 4 animals!! Thanks Chris!

ok, retracted then ;)...no you deserved to be thanked as well.
but Chris, thank you for uncovering this guy for us..

To not truely hijack this thread I just started a new thread in the suggestions/ site feedback section. Please go to that thread if you have an opinion on my proposed change to the for sale section of this forum.

I just talked to Neil Golli. He doesn't know this guy at all- yet Allen/Matt claimed Neil as a reference.
I trust Tim 100% as well and yup if I see the guy next weekend you can bet I will smack him.

Thanks to the guys/gals that posted this. I saw this and out of curiousity went and read the thread only to find that the clown he was claiming he had and was trading in the deal was MINE. He stole the pic from my gallery on here (or my site)

Unbelieveable.

Karma should be coming for this guy....right and swift.
