    Scammer alert!

    Hey guys if you have not yet seen Mike Wilbanks has been having issues with a scammer stealing his pics and using them for profit. This guy has operated under the name "constructors unlimited" and has now been operating under "Times Reptiles". Keep an eye out for this person. I am sure he will pop up again under a different name eventually and we just need to keep a watchful eye.

    Just banned him from here a few minutes ago. He's also trying to use the name Collin Weaver (or some variation thereof)...so it's both him and Mike that are wrestling with this jerk. His IP was from Cameroon.

    His user name is what jumped out at me and when I read his post and saw Times Reptiles red flags shot up. Its too bad they have to deal with this guy.

    No, he's using pics from multiple breeders. Some of Brandon Osbornes snakes are on there too as well as one or two other people's.

    A few more ID were banned while waiting for approval

    So so far we have

    colinss weaver

    jasonpestermana@yahoo.com

    collins weaver

    timatherton27@yahoo.com

    Constrictor-1

    Constrictor-1@hotmail.com

    This guy is smart enough to use Proxy showing him all over the place so IP ban is not an option.

    He now also has a personal FB page under the name of Collins Weaver. Posting some silly thing in groups about a funeral for his son. This person just won't give up.

    The way this person talks it sounds like he's from or in another country. The posts remind me of the way the Nigerian scammers word their posts.

    Note to self: get a live person on the telephone with a confirmed number of a legitimate entity before engaging in a monetary transaction over the internet.
