"Digby Rigby"

[Matt K]

Is this the right section for information pertaining to persons who resell but do not breed/sell roaches or keep any inventory on hand?

So, after several months go by, a dealer that goes by Digby Rigby calls me to ask me why I posted something about his bait-and-switch tactics (a term I do not recall using ever in a forum) and his otherwise extremely odd way of doing business.

I explained that it's because:

a. He and his partner don't stop telemarketing/calling/harassing people long after the inquiry.

b. His partner tried to sell me 20 Jungle nymphs that I had no interest in when I contacted them about Rhino roaches 8 months ago. Which Digby says is not possible, but whatever....

c. His partner also told me that he sold a 50 lot of Megaloblatta roaches for 20 grand. Digby tells me that his partner would never have done such a thing because his customers "value thier privacy"....still not sure what that means/implies, why that matters, etc.

Now, I really don't care what they do or who said what. It is odd, though, that he would call me several months later to dispute who said what, and he would not listen to anything I had to say so I told him I am not interested in doing business with him hung up on him.

Just part of my experience with the guy(s). Its all a little more than wierd to me, they give me the creeps, and I would not recommend doing business with them.

BUT this is just my opinion.

My experience with Digby Rigby A.K.A Mike Green and whomever else he is involved with has been less than pleasant. This started years ago when I had bought some stuff brokered by him that came from Orin (Nothing but positive stuff to say about Orin). I had sent him money for some stuff and then being naive I agreed to take and breed some other roaches as a partner. The roaches I got where parabolicus and craniifer. As time progressed I bought many more of these roaches on my own, as the original stock was a small amount. Mike will strongly disagree but I did ship certain roaches for Mike over time and at some point he was not happy so with our arrangement so I shipped 50 craniifer, 50 parabolicus, and 25 fumigata (when they where more expensive) to one of his other friends Scott (these QTY where more than I originally received and the fumigata where just extra). So needless to say I thought my unpleasant dealings with Mike where done. Then several months later he demanded another 150 parabolicus from me. At first I resisted because I wanted the nonsense to end, and I agreed to ship him 150 parabolicus if an email was sent to me saying we where done for good. Well needless to say no email and he was once again gone and not calling anymore until just recently. Now in the meantime he has been going in Chat rooms where text is not permanent and saying all kinds of negative stuff about me. I would not have even known if some perfect stranger had not emailed me the text and said this guy is bad mouthing me all over these chat rooms and I thought you should know. He calls my wife, my work, and my cell phone all the time demanding that I owe him money and roaches. He threatens to say stuff on these boards and says he'll email boards moderators. last but not least he says he'll take me in court. All the years I've sold roaches I've tried to take care of my customers. Now after years of business I only have one or two open trades (Olivia and Graham) that I fully intend to make good on but all my customers have been happy. I have good posts on a number of websites and ship ten of thousands of roaches yearly with the only known USDA permits of anybody. Two days after my last conversation with Mike the USDA showed up at my house asking about me smuggling insects. Thanks to Mike I have a new group of friends that are going to not fine me, but instead help me try to get even more permits. This guy is a bottom feeder and he brings nothing but trouble. He demands you give all your information and will not do business over email because he wants to get you on the phone. The majority of the time he post rare roaches he doesn’t even have to get phone call and sell other crap and then if things don't work out he'll post your home address and info on the web!!! I should have known better than to take in these roaches but I feel like I've paid them back plus some and even offered more. My last call with Mike was I will see you in court where he did his usual of saying he will blast me all over the web. Well Mike AKA Digby AKA bad guy what do you have to say?
