Watch out for Locascio!!! Scammer

[Infinity Aquascapes]

Please do not lock this thread!!!

This was my first trade type of transaction I have ever been involved in on a forum. However as far as ethics and getting the truth out there that is all I am about. Infinity Aquascapes is my business' name. I am the owner/operator. I do custom aquariums and Terrariums. Jordan is a great friend of mine and helps me vend the local retile expos in my area. He and I were going to try and get a small breeding program started with these frogs plus others that we planned to acquire. I currently do beardies and pygmy chameleons and was looking to get into amphibians. Check out my website if you would like

Not going for a plug just saying that I have no reason to not tell the facts about what happened here. He clearly received a happy very healthy frog.
Thanks!!!

We aren't talking about your comments, but this thread has sparked a lot of negativity that may be harmful to the forum itself. I realize there are shady people on every forum and this one obviously has it's fair share. We don't want a public conflict that may potentially drive members away.

What we are asking is for everyone else to keep their insults and negative comments to themselves or if they just can't contain them speak with you privately to get it off their chests. If it gets out of hand here I will have no choice, but to lock this thread. I'm sorry you and your future business have taken a loss. You have said your peace. Antagonizing him further to attract his attention isn't the way to go especially since he has not responded here to your thread either and thus not allowing him to defend himself.

You have to understand that when only one side is heard it is easy to make assumptions. I am in no way saying that you did not get a raw deal as it is obvious that something is seriously wrong with your part of the deal. I'm saying that it is between you and Vince and not everyone else here.

As Emily has suggested, go to Fauna Boi. Most people who are heavily (some not so much) into the hobby frequent there. Locascio is one of my few friends on here, (friends as in user friends.) I do not know him personally, but it's only fair that he tells his side of the story. The evidence is a landslide on your case, but we the members of THIS site can not accurately judge on a "one sided claim." I personally would like to hear from Locascio about what transpired.

As far as comments go, you guys/girls have to give some people a bit of a break to voice their opinion. Does it really have to be all rainbows and sunshine when it comes to this forum? I for one, would like to read for better or worse, and not pretend nothing bad ever happens. I think it's only fair for people to voice their opinions for good or bad (within reason.) That's just my opinion, and I do not admin/moderate this website.

I, for one, will be watching this thread closely and future Fauna Boi posts.

How are the surviving frogs doing? And Locascio you really need to respond with your side of the story and try to get things resolved. You've been avoiding this thread but it's not helping your case (just giving some insight as a neutral party).

Sorry for your experience, its always sad hearing stories like this. I would like to hear from Locascio about what transpired as well.

Locascio has a good reason to avoid this thread (if he even read it that is).

Sometimes Its best to accept the fact you got a bad review and move on. This could have been a learning experience for him and sounds like hes not really experienced in his side. By the way that you mentioned about he "KNEW" mikes fat frogs (who is very reputable i might add) and willing to purchase off him and send out to you worried me quite a bit rather than just refunding your money. He sounds inexperienced in the matter. For those watching should concider this a good warning to avoid this guy, however I agree with the moderators lets keep the negativity down about this circumstance and if he choses to make a statement let him willingly without bashtalking him. Its just not professional. Lets keep our "cool" guys. We can put in negative reviews and still be professional at the same time =). I can see this thread getting much worse if the locascio did try to defend himself.

As far as the OP: im sorry you had this experience and it seems to be the worst one ive seen based on the photos of decaying matter on the frogs. Please take note of the reputable companies that are available here =)

I read all the comments and I am sorry you had a bad experience. I would suggest that if there is anything to be learned here, it is to get everything in writing and signed. do not send cash, do it electronically through paypal so that you can dispute a charge and keep records.
again, I feel bad this happened and that it was such a disturbing experience. I personally cannot understand how someone could not make this right. I don't know if a lawsuit is an option, but I would try to get your money and frogs back to the original owners. you shouldnt have to deal with a sick frog while he gets a healthy one and your money.
i wish the best of luck to you.
