Paybacks a Bitch Mr. Large

[JCornelisse5]

Dear Matt Large,

I really hope that you're allowed in FC and are able to read this. For all of you who don't already know, I have been having an issue with this fella Matt Large aka "Hybrid" Well, if you don't here's how it started. Maybe naive and stupid on my part. Me and Matt became what I thought of as friends. We talked frequently. He was a regular in the chat just like most of us are. He offered me site work in exchange for a few leos that I HAD. I stress had. Well Matt did some work on some pictures and showed em to me. Mind you this is minimal work that needed to be done. Just a few pics uploaded and some cleaning up of the site. Well thinking that Matt was legit and a friend. He promised me work via written word in email and pm right here on this very site. To me this is an implied contract. Well again, perhaps I was naive or just over trusting but he did show me the work he had done. So I shipped him four geckos on my dime. I also sent him all the information to get into the site and what happened? Mr Large disappeared. He ignores my emails. He eventually told me Jeff I'm sorry busy at home perhaps I will just pay you. I said sure Matt $200 fair price for 2.2 macks het bell. Plus you know the $68 I spent to ship them. But I wasn't asking for that. Just the money or a the return of the leos. Well again Matt Large has become a phantom.
Well here it is. A reward. For anyone who makes contact with Mr. Large and ensures my leos will be returned to me safely. I will give you a free leo. Free shipping Free Leo. In the incubator I currently have SHTCTB, Reverse stripe trempers, as well as mack snow bell enigma x mack het bell pairing. I will have much much more next year as I will have RAPTORS, APTORS, NOVAS, DREAMSICLES all avail. i repeat ANY gecko of your choice free. For the return of my geckos or if you get him to pay me my $200.

Thanks

Having someone take advantage of your good intentions and trust sucks, no doubt about that. I'll keep an eye out for you, Jeff.

 

[nevinm]

not just payback... karma too dont worry he'll get it sooner or later

 

[paulnj]

Where does he live :main_evilgrin:

 

[Golden Gate Geckos]

Have you considered taking this over to Fauna's Board of Inquiry (BOI)?

 

[JCornelisse5]

Once I find my darn address book I can give you his exact address lol. He lives in Owasso, OK I know that. And yes I have considered a lot. I personally never want to ruin a person reputation if I don't have to. But... I have to now. I actually recieved an email from him today after about a week. He told me his dad had been ill and he was away for a bit. Last time his sister and her friend were down and things weren't good so he disappeared for a week. I feel like a fool because I trusted him.

Again BEWARE
Matt Large
Owasso, OK


Thanks for the feedback! To the BOI I go!

 

[cassadaga]

Wow, we may have almost been pulled into the same situation. We had spoken with him about doing a site in trade for leos! Luckily we never sent anything.

 

[JCornelisse5]

He did it to another member in here as well. I guess I am the only fool who actually sent the geckos. He showed me the work he had done. Did not stop talking to me all day every day up until he recieved the geckos. And then! nothing.. he rarely responds. I hope he gets what he deserves.

 

[Ehatcher]

Man thats messed up. Hope you get retribution... or your geckos back

 

[justindh1]

some info i found if it helps
http://www.myspace.com/hybrid01

looks like it could be him. he has geckos!

 

[JCornelisse5]

yeah that's him alright! he looks like a fucking penis. what a fucking piece of shit.. a face to the name... thank you justin now i know who i'm looking for. what a fucking bitch haha lets get that mother fucker! lol

 

[justindh1]

ya thats all i found on searh but i didn't look real hard. It has a city and state there so thats a start too.

That town looks like a suburd of Tulsa, OK. Owasso, OK, population 23,771, is located in Oklahoma's Tulsa county, about 11.1 miles from Tulsa and 108.4 miles from Oklahoma City.

I found a website that stats that he lives in collinville, ok which is just a couple miles north of Oswasso, Ok. The age is right and if you click on details you can buy his last know address for 1.95. Might be worth it!

[JCornelisse5]

[JCornelisse5] it can all go away
[hybrid] I'm sorry I couldnt be there when my family needed me most.
[JCornelisse5] i don't fall for guilt trips what happened with your family is your issue and i respect that but a simple email or a heads up is good too

[hybrid] I got rid of them. Due to the situations at hand.
[JCornelisse5] and why didn't you tell me that? i would have taken mine back

[hybrid] I'm shooting for this next Monday. As long as my father is doing better.
[JCornelisse5] you should probably borrow money from someone
[JCornelisse5] cause i'm not willing to wait that long
[JCornelisse5] and where are the leos?
[hybrid] Rehomed.

[hybrid] Jeff. Do not threaten me. There is no reason for it, And its not good business for you.
[JCornelisse5] i'm not worried about your business i'm worried about what's owed to me
[hybrid] You want to make thi huge thats fine.

[cassadaga]

Well, I hope you atleast get your money! Though I think you've still got a rough battle with this guy.

 

[JCornelisse5]

Well, I hope you atleast get your money! Though I think you've still got a rough battle with this guy.

I agree. I can promise he still has the animals and is just being difficult. It's too bad he had to fuck up like this. Oh well if I'm going to lose my money and reptiles, he will lose his reputation.

 

[cassadaga]

I think he probably has the animals, too. :main_thumbsdown:

 

[KelliH]

Jeff - Let me know if he does not pay you. I don't want thieves on GeckoForums and I will ban him if he does not send you your money or otherwise make things right with you.

 

[nevinm]

[Retribution Reptiles]
