Hi,
To anyone who knows who I am, you know I don't live in Mobile,AL or albama at all. There is some trailer park trash using my name on sites asking for $500 for a pair of ridgenose. I do not have ridgenose and would not be a stupid as you look to post them if I did. Anyone, asking for money out of AL is trying to rip people off and here are a few things to consider when buying animals from someeone. Scammers use other peoples names or fake names. They want you to use western union. With western union they will give a name of a person who is to pick the money up. Western union allows money sent to a state to be picked up anywhere in the state. The scammers will call from #'s other then the state where the money is going. Background check the people selling the animals and phone numbers, get known references from the sellers, if a deal sounds to good to be true it probabaly is a scam, and look for typos or mispoken english. Most scammers are dropouts or forgeiners. Best of luck to all buyers and sellers and do not look for my name selling as I have retired from reptiles and have none for the time being.
Thanks,
Bill Hamaker

Paul,
Someone is using my name. I am in PA and always have been. I never bought or sold willardi to or from anyone. Who did you send money too and was it western union? Did you see pics of the animals and the legal paperwork? The person on fauna was selling these snakes for $500 correct? I received calls and an email from someone asking me what was going on and I knew nothing about it. I got a call from Tim King who spoke to me in the past and he notified me when he called the individual and asked to speak to me they hung up. Sorry I do not think snakes were sent to you and I do not have money from you and I do not have willardi. Do you a tracking number from delta yet? Please let me know answers to the above questions as someone may have an id with my name on it and I need to know if I need to track them and contact authorities.
Sorry Paul.
Thanks,
Bill

Bill,
He did not get the money, we acted fast enough to have a freeze put on it. I was not buying the snakes, a friend was. I was going to pick up the snakes for my friend and then hang on to them here. He stated he had legal paperwork that would be given to me for the ridgenose, and that he had to just dump the snakes to get cash asap. I saw your ad right after my friend and I talked on the phone about what he had just purchased, contacted him, he called the money wiring place and they put a freeze on it. He emailed the two of us with a gmail account that was in your name, and attached photos of animals that I found on the internet on other web sites. One person emailed me their email conversations with this guy and he wanted them to send the money to NY, for us it was Mobile AL...someone out there has a gmail account in your name (homeofreptiles@gmail.com) and is signing your name to the emails. They asked for the money in Mobile to be sent to a Angela Cotton State: Alabama.City: Mobile. Address:Prichard Area-Plateau of 1412 Dauphin St Phone Number: 336-833-1895 Zip Code:36604and in NY a woman by the name of Clara Fubesi,clara_usa4ever@yahoo.com 347-717-4922
Other people had responded to his ads and I do not know how much money he received for this scam he is running, but he has assumed your identity,and who knows what else in your name. Cook him if you can.
My friend is getting his money back this morning, others however probably have lost alot.
Thank you for putting up this notice, if you had not done this, the money would be gone forever. Some say Friday the 13th is unlucky, but to me, it seemed to be the opposite when we were lucky enough to stop the thief from getting the money.
Have a good day
Paul

Here is the address he just gave me when he actually called me to see when I would want to come pick up the snakes :
Discover Chiropractic Centers
1412 Dauphin Street
Mobile, AL 36604
He is a pakistani sounding man and was being coached by someone in the background...he blocked his number when he called me and told me he would email his phone number...

It is rehiss, (at least thats how he is most known here) and goes by countless other names. I have emailed him multiple times (all the while he is using multiple emails) to confirm it was indeed a scam. I have also called him out on it a few times, rather violently lol. The addresses he gives are obviously good.
Please people do your research and dont get scammed. And if anybody EVER asks for a moneygram that is a scam.

Be careful folks: Angela Cotton is the person with id that has to pick up the money in AL. The guy is using a # from a different state I believe. Paul I'm glad you didn't get burned and thanks for the info everyone who emailed me.

They had a add on here for a pair of albino boas . Anyway they had a bs story about going to a herp seminar . I agreed to drive to pick them up . That was no good . Then delta came up and they said that it would be 200 for delta and she would ship them to me just for the cost of shipping . I knew something was up then . So I said I would do itdelta collect and save 100 bucks . They then claimed they were not delta collect verified shippers . Then I asked for better pics of the animals and the idiot sent a pic of one of my snakes in my hand . Not too many people with the tat on my wrist as my wife is the only other person with it . I then told them to cut the S###t with a pic of my wrist attached . Havent heard back from them since .
