I was on good terms with this person who runs a reptile rescue in the southern part of the US, until the moment came that I unjoined his yahoo group.
Since then he has sent very nasty emails, I have been cordial and he had sent me a box to ship a native US lizard to him. I was going to, but could not guarantee that it get there in the time he wanted. WI to his state was at least 2 days via express. I didn't have 50 dollars to send it via UPS or Fed Ex, I got quotes.
He requested that I send the box to a person who needed it to ship some reptiles to him, the box needed to go to UT.
I did that, (I had a friend do it since I was going some where for the day). BUT I have the receipt, and can have his testimony. I did get a delivery confirmation and sent him an email with the tracking number.
He has now sent me a paypal invoice requesting payment for some insects he sent for the lizard to eat.
When I was waiting for the box, and for the temps in his state to go down, so the lizard would remain healthy.
All was fine until I unjoined from his group. Now he won't leave me alone.
I have taken steps to protect myself.. but this is ridiculous.
He states the cost of shipping the insects was 15.00 and would credit me 5 for shipping his container to UT. Thus owing him 9.
I had a post office to post office label and had to tape Express tape/labels all over the priority box he sent me. He was adamant that the box and its contents remain absolutely the same.
In order to keep it in that state. I shipped the box in a flat shipping rate box which cost 14.35. So technically I owe him 65 cents.
I do not have his mailing address as I took it off the box in order to ship it to him with the Post office to post office label.
So what should I do? I have contacted his email provider and he is a group owner at yahoo, due to his nasty emails he has violated their TOS.
I have been cordial and have kept all of my emails where he was nice, we spoke on the phone one night for 45 minutes talking about things.
Once I left the group he went nasty.
When part of the group he posted on there, some very nasty things were said about a lady in NY, he even called the NY fish and wild life on her saying she had taken 6 particular lizards and called her a poacher.
WHile the one I have is not in any way endangered, I really don't need this.
So what do you reccommend that I do?
OMG really he needs a life.
