Hey guys and girls...
Last week, I ordered a " Proven Female Fire ". I paid 1,300$ for her. Well She came in Friday, and I was gone on business, so my girlfriend, unpacked her, and put her up for me. Well, I came back this morning, and excitedly looked at her. And she is 100000% NOT a fire. There is nothing fire about her. I emailed the guy back, and told him ( nicely ). That there may have been a mixup because the female I got is def not a fire. Well, he responded " No mixup, she may not be a fire, I was just told she was..."

My question is, is there anything I can do legally? To get my money back or something? or do I just have to suck it up, and take it as a loss and learn not to just trust people anymore. I really want to take some kind of action, but I dont know.. PLEASE help me

Thank you so much

Matt

You may just have to suck it up. You might be able to do something in civil court, but it probably wouldn't be worth the cost.

BTW, did you see a pic of the snake before you bought it?

Can you post a copy of the ad and pictures of the snake? I'd demand a refund, and probably post all the info about the seller and the sale on the BOI and on the inquiry section here. That sucks, and is a very shady thing to do if it was sold as a proven fire.

WOW Matt that really blows! I cant believe anyone could be that horrible! I hope there is something that you can do to resolve this. Is it wrong to ask who you bought the so-called Fire from?

[LAWReptiles]

I bought it from a guy named Donald Day. It was a Hoobly.com ad, which is now deleted. and, Thats another thing Xdeus, I did see a pic.. and the pic I saw was a fire, a beautiful fire.. but the snake I got and the snake in the picture are 2 totally different snakes.. totally different patterns, colors, etc.

I might just have to go to Virginia...bring the snake.. make the guy bend over.. and give the snake a new home...

I know someone who can help you out, *sorry if this is advertising* go onto www.hbd-gaming.com and talk to JesusHChrist, you will need to register.
I do believe that you can do something to this person for scamming you.

Unfortuneately, that might be your only recourse if the guy refuses to give you a refund. It sounds like he just plain scammed you, so I doubt he will be very responsive. I'd give him one chance to make it right, then post all of the info all over the forums and make a complaint to the website he advertised on. Then, next time you are on vacation in Virginia, pay him a warm visit.

yeah id take it to the Boi and also when u get to Fauna do a search for that site i think someone else over there got scammed from a seller on the hooobly site(spelling) id say post all pictures and emails you got from and to this guy on the board of inquiries on fauna just to have a record on a public forum so others can see
