During my search to buy a marmoset finger monkey I have ran into all kinds of outrageous sales men & women. The last time I tried buying one was from for lack of better words a character named Michael poggi (if that is his real name). Anyway so found him online. Decided to give him a try although my first impression was that this is another scam. Initially you will notice throughout his website all the spelling errors run on sentences misspelled words (Nigerian scam artist 101) etc. Something else that stood out was that the terrible in spell checked site states they are available all the time it said 24hrs per day. In light of these red flags my family and I decided to move forward with finally getting a primate pair. Here is what happened.
We initially paid for or thought we paid for them with our credit card. Turns out it didn't go through. We were instructed to pay them 1/2 with a Vanilla Visa prepaid credit card & the balance was to be wired. Never had done this before and after verifying our cc wasn't charged we paid with the Vanilla & wired the other 1/2. Thought that would be everything. Michael Poggi you SOB karma remember. After paying all that money and when we thought ours was on the way here comes Poggo again asking for 30% more because there was a hold up in the delivery something about papers needing to be filed. As soon as we were sucked/scammed out of the additional 30% we were notified that our credit card that we originally gave him was charged the full amount all this happened within 48 hours. This was one of the most horrific / frightening online experiences my family has had to weather. Now there is at least one other guy in FL maybe by the name of Chris that sells them but I don't know his phone# & I have a phone# someone gave us from someone they bought & got their finger monkey from before (((REDACTED))) but I can't find their website. Beware of the Michael Poggis of the world. Below is some info to help you michael poggi 9547089441 11365 Earnest Blvd, Davie FL 33325-4886.

This report is not accurate about me or my company. The person that wrote this report was in fact a scammer. The scammer even posted in this rip off report to call him to purchase a monkey for only $299. Monkeys Cost 3000.00 to $4000. Scammers are acting like monkeys are only $300 and then scamming people out of their money. The scammer put a fake phone number there. There's no one even available to challenge his False claims. We don't take credit cards and we never have asked anyone for a credit card. And also, the scammer that wrote this report has hundreds of Facebook pages up under different names and tries to sell monkeys to people but he doesn't have any monkeys. He scams people out of $300 consistently . Read the report thoroughly. You'll see that the scammer used hundreds of keywords to try to damage our reputation. He includes other breeders in my report that also don't rip anybody off. The scammers phone number is not even real. The person that posted this ad is not available to challenge this report. We have never ripped off anyone nor have we ever taking anyone's money and not given them a monkey. Monkeys are $4000 not 299 as the scammer states in his offer that he posted in his report. The scammer is obviously an expert at scamming people because he uses hundreds of keywords in order to ruin my business so he can rip off more people and take business from me. We have hundreds of live video testimonials from people that have received their monkey and not had any problems whatsoever. It's easy to see that the scammer who wrote this rip off report against me and my company is the actual scammer. He claims that he has Monkeys 4 Sale for $299. There is no such thing as any monkey available for that price. In addition, the scammer that wrote this report is from Hawaii. Monkeys are not legal there and we don't sell to Hawaii. He made up this whole story in order to slander me and my company, and at the same time rip more people off for $299. Try calling his phone number and you will see it does not go to a real person. If you would like proof of who we are, give us a call and we can prove that we are licensed by the government, and the state, and that we have no customer complaints anywhere.
