OMG do you really think this guy is for real. I would not part with a penny of my hard earned cash for a bd unless it was there in front of me. You have been scamed pure and simple. Let this be a hard lesson learned my friend. I hope you get your rays but i doubt it. GOOD LUCK.
Have some concern's on BD pups or BD in general?

This is getting a little ridiculous.
Let me tell you a story. When I was sixteen I ordered a proven breeding pair of yellow anacondas. For $500 Canadian at the time it was a steal. You couldn't buy babies for less then $300 in Canada at the time. Even though it was a little too good to be true I went with it.
Sent the guy the money, he told me he would ship them the next week. The next week he was too busy to ship and he would ship them the next week. That week came around (this was almost 3 weeks after I sent him the money). He emails me and tells me that the male was hiding under the water dish and the female got into the dish and ended up crushing the male. Thought it was a tad crazy, but I've seen crazier. Female anacondas are significantly larger then males, so it could happen. He told me that he could get me a young male to replace him and then through in a baby white lip. So now I was getting an adult female proven breeder yellow anaconda, a baby male and a baby white lip python. Roughly a $1000 value (at the time in Canada) for $500. Life was sweet.
I had kept in touch with him over the next few weeks while he tracked me down my new male. Through those conversations he had told me about the other animals he had in stock and eventually I was talked into ordering a baby sulcatta (for $300) and a baby frilled dragon (for $200). I had now sunk $1000 into the order and was awaiting my animals.
About 6 weeks after I originally sent him the money he emailed me and told me he would ship them later that week. We arranged a date, I got a waybill number, and I sent him about $150 for shipping.
At this point, 6 weeks later, $1150 in the waybill number was cancelled the day before and I never heard from him again. His website disappeared, his email was disabled and he stopped answering my phone calls.
Putting a few hours into writing emails or sitting on the phone with the "customer" and getting $1000 + is a good return. Evening getting a couple hundred is a good return. Frig if I could get a couple hundred bucks for sitting on the phone for a couple hours talking about fish and writing a few emails I would be a happy man.
I want to you realize the reality of whats going on. You can defend him till your face is blue, but it's not going to get your fish.
It's nice to see someone who still has a positivity like yours, and it's refreshing to see someone who is so open to trusting others. But seriously man. I'm a member of multiple forums the common consensus everywhere is that the guy is a scammer, and the evidence in this situation point towards a scam. This makes me believe that your positivity and trust in people is a result of naivety. If at least in this situation.
I wish you luck. I hope you do get your fish. If you do, I will eat my words.

Alright, this is definately going to be the week that I get some kind of proof (flowers)! Nate, asked me today if I wanted the flowers for tommorrow? I told him thursday would be better for me (day off). He said it shouldn't be a problem. He has stopped feeding my pair and is keeping the lights off in the tank to keep them calm. He told me yesterday that he will give me a tracking number.
Columbian Flower stingray's delivery on a thursday take 2?

Best thing you could do right now is keep quiet till you get your rays cause right now advice is only gonna get tougher to find.
See if you quit a week ago people would still feel for you. Now it seems as though after ignoring everyones advice you still don't listen.
So, why the hell would anyone waste thier time offering advice in the future? They won't, as you proved that offering you advice is a waste of our time.
I hope you don't need advice in the future regarding sick rays as the advice bridge seems pretty charred right now.

Oh, come on DB I am so not ignoring anyone's advice!DB junkie;5045829; said:
I appreciate everyone's oppinion and have taken everyone into consideration. I know things have not gone smoothly with nate in the past. But, part was on me (taking to long to choose the right MM's) and part was on him. But, we worked things out and as long as I get healthy and active stingray's? Then I'll be totally happy
!Lol someone please BAN HIM asap before somebody takes this idiots advice. I would honestly think you are one of the next few options:
1. Nate under a fake name and ip address
2. 12yrs old and gullible beyond belief running around with mommy and daddys cc, if you send me 500$ I will send you a fart in an envelope that will still smell fresh when you get it
3. JUST STUPID
Stop listening to "Nate" and stop assuming you are going to get your rays, you will not and those pictures and videos could be old as dirt that he is sending you and some how that reassures you that he actually has them. If I pay for something on Monday you better believe I will be getting it by Friday. Stop being an idiot and go ahead and file your claims. Break off communication with the guy, contact the necessary parties about filing a claim and at least try to get some of your money back. YOUR DONE. HE WILL NOT SEND YOU THE RAYS EVER. STOP TAKING UP FOR HIM BEFORE SOME OTHER IDIOT READS THIS AND TAKES YOUR ADVICE (FOR SOME STUPID REASON) AND GETS SCREWED BY NATE TOO. I just think its hilarious how you continue to believe all the bs this guy is telling you. Would you believe me if I took a crap and told you "No man, thats brownies"???
Your a goof, tack it up as a loss and call it quits with him. I am going to continue to follow this thread just for a good laugh at how stupid an gullible people in the world really have become. I'm telling you I am going to start selling "Live baby T-Rex Dinosaurs pay now and when there born I will ship them to you"
Give it up fool!
