Description

I was going to buy 2 rain frogs. At first i was already suspicious because they were using pictures from another website called underground reptiles and backwater reptiles. This website was also giving huge discounts on alot of animals but they're were still very very expensive ones from 900 to 1000 dollar animals. Then when i went to purchase the frogs it said i had to use ethier zelle, cashapp, paypal, or venmo. I clicked paypal seeing as its maybe the only viable option to get my money back if everything flopped. Then i was contacted by a guy using the live chat saying i would be getting a text soon. I then did some more research and saw the website actually said it had a good rating from you guys which i knew wasnt true. The final straw was when i got the text and he said and i quote " send proof of payment and once payment is confirmed we will send you tracking info" They also wanted me to make this payment through the "friends and family option" so i did some digging found out they were in columbus not colorado, and decided to mess with them a little bit. They could barely speak any english and as i messed with them the worse they got, im guessing because they started to go off script. Im hoping you guys can take this site down and get rid of these idiots. Ive been searching for a rain frog for years and these guys completely pissed me off. Please take down the site so no one else can get screwed over out of tons of money. Thank you for your time
