On 11/23/2017 we went on a family trip to Cabo Mexico. My son is into fishing as we own a boat. I paid several thousand dolars for three boat trips to catch Marlyns. It was my Son's dream to catch them and take lots of pictures which we did.

 

We cought two Marlyns that day. One 140 LB and 92 inches and the other 120 LB and 86 Inches

When we got off the boat, we were quickly approched with bunch of guys with GRAY TAXIDERMY T SHIRTS. In broken English, we were told " Sir , Sir we can taxidermy both fish and give you the meat to take home".

My 11 year old Son pleaded me to go ahead.

They gave us two receipts one for $1,535 and other for $1,420 and I paid 50% deposits.

My wife later asked me to cancel one. I did and got confirmation that they would return the deposit, which they never did.

We took pictures of the 140 LB - 92 inches as they were cleaning it. My son told me, I can't wait till I get the taxidermy on my wall back in LA.

We came back to LA with the boxes of frozen meat.

We then heard from Gray that they need additional deposit and now the transportation cost and shipping costs WHICH WAS NEVER DISCLOSED TO US.

MY SON WAITED THREE AND HALF MONTHS AND I PAID ALL THEIR CHARGES UNTIL THE FISH ARRIVED. WE TOOK IT OUT AND PUT IT ON HIS WALL. HE LOOKED AT IT AND SAID, "DAD, THIS IS NOT THE SAME FISH" . I PUNCHED THE HOLE IN THE PLASTIC AND SURE ENOUGFH IT IS PLASTIC.  I CALLED THE COMPANNY IN FLORIDA TALKED TO A GUY NAME JOE AND HE SAID " THAT IS A REPLICA" . I SAID, YOU MUST BE KIDDING. IN THE HEAT OF THE MOMENT AS THEY MEXICAN WORKERS ARE RUSHING YOU TO GET THE FISH AND CLEAN, I SIGNED THE RECEIPTS. BUT AN AGREEMENT REQUIRES TWO SIGNATURES OF THE PARTIES AND THERE IS NO SIGNATURE ON THEIR SIDE.

 

AFTER PAYING SEVERAL THOUSANDS DOLLARS FOR THE TRIP , THREE FISHING BOATS , A COMPANY BY THE NAME OF GRAY TAXIDERMI THAT SUPOSED TO DO TAXIDERMI BUILDINDS PLASTICS THAT IS THE SAME SIZE AS THE FISH YOU CATCH AND THEY PAINT IT FOR YOU

 

I HAVE DISPUTED THE CHARGES AND WILL SEE WHAT HAPPENS

I LOVE RIP OFF REPORT TO PUT IT OUT THERE

Think of the children!

AUTHOR: George - (United States)

POSTED: Tuesday, March 20, 2018

You might as well since you describe your son as an LA rich kid. You paid several thousand dolars for three boat trips to catch Marlyns. 

They gave us two receipts one for $1,535 and other for $1,420 and I paid 50% deposits.- There's your first mistake. 

 My son told me, I can't wait till I get the taxidermy on my wall back in LA.- Was your credit card declined and he threw a fit?

The rest of the caps lock jammed sentences further demonstrate my theory that you buy your son's love. This is no way to raise children to believe they're entitled. You better start saving for his 16'th birthday. I'm guessing you already have a Maserati Quattroporte on order? Because he will plead with you to buy it. And you have the American Express black card.
