Jim Keenan ran an ad on kingsnake.com for patternless bullsnakes at $125 each plus shipping. I sent him a US Postal Money Order for $300 for the pair of snakes and shipping. Because I am friends with someone Mr. Keenan does not like - he refused to send the snakes or return the $300. He is a liar and a thief - also a coward. I have filed complaints with all state and federal agencies

More excuses from Jim Keenan

Jim Keenan continues to make any number of excuses for not returning my money. His latest is that he does not have good contact information for me and, therefore, he is unable to refund my money. He has been sent my name, mailing/resident address, phone number and e-mail. He claims he is not sure who I am, yet he was sent a US Postal Service money Order and if he returned my money ion the same form, it requires either a bank account in that name or a valid state issued ID/Drivers license. He just continues to make excuses for stealing the $300. To show how stupid his claims are - he recently sent me a letter via USPS Priority Mail to me in my name and to my address. I got it and he obviously knows both who I am and where I am. The USPS ZIP - e/USPS Delivery Confirm # is 420551069101805213683046372405. You think the USOPS could use any more numbers in that !!! JESUS ! So Jim, what is the story now ? You are a liar and a thief.

this is the seconfd time I posted this rebuttal ...seems the first one was removed. That report coming from one of the biggest thieves in the reptile industry. Notice he mentioned I was a coward....he failed to even post his own real name. Snowsnake????? This is common practice for this scammer. This person's real name is Bob Sloan, well known for ripping people off. I was one of those people that was ripped off by him in the past. He made another attempt to rip me off using one of his many alias. But this time he got caught before he was able to succeed in taking me again. I received a postal money from someone named Michael Duckworth ( another alias of Bob Sloan ) Then the trouble started ...someone named Harlan Cochran ( Another alias of Bob Sloan ) made a post on a well know reptile forum Call Fauna Classifieds in the Board of Inquiry Section; http://www.faunaclassifieds.com/forums/forumdisplay.php?f=13 Which is basically a website dedicated to finding and making known to the public and reptile industry who are reputable people to deal with and who to avoid. Bob Sloan is a very well know and proven scammer / thief on those forums. Any way Bob Sloan said there was an investigation being conducted by the US postal service about the money order , I contacted the Postal Service and was informed that I should do nothing until I am contacted by the investigator...so that is what I will do. The snakes were not sent because Bob is well known for saying the "animals arrived dead" and then tries to bully you into getting a refund. Also know that Bob Sloan is famous for making threats to destroy peoples personal property as well as threats on peoples lives and families. This is what he does for a living, he scams people out of their money. As for my reputation as a business person ....a search can be made on the same forum mentioned above to see what my standing is in the reptile industry. And many other breeders can vouch for me in this business as well. And I have also filed complaints with the necessary federal agencies as well as the local police authorities in Minnesota as well as in Texas where he is known to flee when cornered. Also files have been charged with the proper federal agencies for the death threats to myself and family as well as the threats of destruction to my personal property. As far as the story about who he claims I am friends with ...just more made up stories. There is plenty of documentation to be had about this scammer at the provided link , just type in one of his many names; Bob Sloan, Michael Duckworth, Harlan Cochran....the search will provide anyone with his long history of ripping people off in the reptile hobby/industry. I also have every email correspondence between myself and all his "characters". I am available to answer any and all questions in this matter. If there was any truth to his complaint ...why would he hide his identity? Why was he even able to post here w/o having to post under a real name and address like I was required to do just for me to rebut his accusations. There are so many people after him in the state of Florida ...he's scared to show is face here. For those seeking him out to collect debts here is the most current info I have been given, for anyone else stay away from him at all costs !

Jim Keenan is a liar and a thief. I sent him a $300 USPS Money Order. He deposited it into his account by his own claims. He never shipped the two bullsnakes. If he claims he did - show the shipping documents here. He never returned the $300. If he did, show the return receipts here. He cannot show this because he did receive and deposit my money. He never shipped the snakes and he has not returned the $300 I sent to him. This reptile dealer is a known drug dealer and biker wanna-be. He is a danger to society and a thief and con artist. There are many people he has stolen money and animals from in the past. There are numerous posts on other sites like kingsnake.com, faunaclassifieds.com and here at ripoffreport.com This dealer should be avoided at all costs. If he is legit - post your evidence. I can post the money order receipt and he has no documentation he sent snakes or returned my money.
