He will not talk or respond to you unless you give him your address, phone number, name, and good time to call.

Well, that's a lot of information to give someone when all you want to know is how much something costs. However, I wanted to know his prices on some B. dubia so I gave him my info.

Someone called on his behalf, he was not the most professional and cussed a couple times during our conversation, (which is fine around friends, but not when your talking to customers you don't know I think), and basically asked me a bunch of questions about why I was interested, how serious I am about my hobby etc...I knew the price would be something too high for me just because of how hard the guy was trying to sell it. So finnally he quotes me $350 for 600 B. dubia....while that price may be fair for tha many, I'm sorry my friends I'm a student in college, and I cannot afford $350 anything. Since the guy was one of those pressure salesman types I didn't feel like saying flat out no cause I thought the convo would only continue longer and I had already wasted enough of time, so I said I would get back to him once I checked my funds and thanks for the info.

He called me again the very next day and first words out of his mouth were, "So, I just wanted to see when you wanted to put in an order for those roaches" At that point I said I didn't want them, and couldn't afford them, and he said okay and the convo was over, but I was kinda irritated he called me AGAIN after I said I would get back to him.

Just seemed liked a lot of hassle for me, when he could've just e-mailed me the price in two seconds and I would have known it was way out of my budget, but instead he needed my number so he could try and hussle it out of me.

I don't like being hussled.

I tend to agree. I had a similar experience brushing up against the excessive information disclosure standards of this business. A few weeks ago, I was looking for a small quantity of blatta lateralis, and found Digby Rigby's species list. I shot him an email to the contact address on the page to see if any were available. The demand for ALL my contact info was not on the page, so I just emailed with my question. Instead of a response to my question, I received an email chastising me and demanding the rest of my info. If the energy it took to send me that frustrating email had been used letting me know about the raoches, I mihgt have made a purchase. Luckily, I have found James from blaberus.com to be much more accommodating.

I have done Business with the Famous Digby Rigby, his methods are such because many people are out to scam him, He is very knowledgeable about the items he is selling and he may seem a little persistent but that can be used to your advantage. Many people sell roaches and other items without the proper knowledge but he is someone who can provide you with the information you need, give you accurate up to date price quotes and find you the exotic feeder that your looking for.

I inquired about Digby's lateralis, and I felt like I was trying to be sold a vacation time-share. It was not like dealing with any other invert dealer.

This has been moved to the Seller Inquiries/Warnings forum as there are no specific completed transactions - some vague claim of business with somebody famous and in danger of being scammed is not a review of a completed transaction either.

To Digby Rigby: Your way of doing business is not standard and is, in my opinion, extreme. If you can't even list a basic price you will not be advertising on Arachnoboards in the future as we are about to begin requiring prices for ALL ads. You can't even provide something as basic as a product and price, but want people to provide you enough personal information to put identity theft into action, there is something very wrong with that.

To DoubleDs: Your explicit defense of DR's is not appropriate. If the worst thing that anyone ever got scammed on was feeder roach sales they should be thankful. Plenty of dealers that work with much higher ticket items are more than happy to provide their own information as well as work with people they don't know from Adam. Further, he is definitely not famous or he'd have more than reputation of 0.2 on Fauna Classifieds, a handful of ad posts, and no reviews to show for his efforts beyond people scared off by his business tactics.

If anyone has done business with Digby Rigby and can provide a specific review of that transaction, feel free to post it to the Online Seller Reviews and I will close this thread.

:? Has anyone done business with "Digby Rigby" ?? He seems to have offered/sold quite a few ultra-exotic insects, but I can't find any references, persons who bought said bugs, and he refused to supply any customer reference/referral. Recently he posted the ad for 'White Panchlora sp.' and now for "Black Giant Springtails".

Feedback would be appreciated! Thanks.

I have ordered from him (mostly with his buddy) once to buy some Isopods. They ran into their supplier being slow to contact but I got my stuff and everything is done through phone conversation but they are legit from my experience. Communication was not a problem.

hope this helps.

So, after several months go by, Digby Rigby calls me to ask me why I posted something about his bait-and-switch tactics 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 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.

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.

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?

Hello,

We are seperate entities, Michael and I. We work together. I handle online he deals over the phone. The deal with James at the time was 420 dollars for 50 peppered roaches 50 death heads and 50 parabolicus. Michael had bought these roaches before james had ever ordered them. Orin was getting rid of the parabolicus so he prepaid for them all. When James wanted them he paid only for the peppereds and the deatheads which came to 220 dollars. The parabolicus were fronted to james with the following conditions. The first being that before selling any off himself that Michaels first five orders be fulfilled. The second was that james was not to sell any until then and that if he did he was to pay 50% of any sales to Michael. He was supposed to notify Michael when the roaches were ready to start filling orders. The whole time he had lied and said they werent doing well when in fact he had been selling them.not one order did he fill at that time. after many months Michael contacted James and asked what was going on as james had been selling them. At a later time he finally had some and at this point not one dollar was even paid. James was then asked to send the whole colony back which he refused. He said I am not giving my adults. They werent yours you hadnt paid for them. He then said he would send out 150 and some fumigata for the inconveinince and another 300 later if he could keep the adults. That was agreed upon. James has admitted before that all his parabolicus came from the stock he bought from Michael. this last Sunday James threatened him with physical violence if he persued this matter. In short James got roaches he never paid for neither Michael or I would front someone without making sure we wouldnt end up with a better deal for us instead of taking the cash. I have notified michael of this thread and he will be responding. he has already spoken wit hthe owners off this message board and as he doesnt go online will be responding here with my account as has also been preapproved.

I don’t even know where to start. First, I guess I have no clue who you are since you say you are not Mike Green, but he is allowed to use your account? I never disputed the fact that I got some roaches without paying for them. The problems occurred when I realized that Mike was not an honest person. When he specifically told me how he would get people on the phone and use his telemarketing skills to sell people whatever he had. The colonies never did good as Mike well knew that several of the roaches died shortly after they where shipped. This is why I eventually added to the colonies. I very simply wanted to separate myself from him/you/whoever you are and this is when I shipped the 50 parabolicus (more than the alive amount I received), 50 craniifer, and the 25 fumigata to Scott Dairyberry in PA(no clue how he is affiliated with you). It was already established that I had paid for the craniifer and the peppereds I received so this was for the parabolicus. Now because Mike felt so strong six months later that I still owed him more against my better judgment I agreed to send him another 150 he was asking for. At no time did he ever say anything about 300 of them. I also asked for his demands in an email so I could have some proof of this, but Mike refused because I honestly believe he intended/intends to extort me for more. Lastly, lets talk about the threats. Over all the years I’ve been in reptiles I’ve never screwed anybody. I’ve shipped people thousands of dollars in animals never to see a penny or any of my animals back and not once did I raise my voice. But then here comes Mike Green taking about my wife, my kids, and my family. A man has to draw a line and Mike crossed that line. I would also like to add the several people Mike called trying to discredit me, and the slander he posted in Chat rooms. Regardless of whatever stories Mike and you cook up, this will be my last post on the subject. The people that run the forum and visit this site will be the ultimate judge and jury as to who is right or wrong, but I can sleep good at night.

And tell Mike not to call anymore as I’m done with him. I had already agred to send 150 parabolicus and the offer still stands if you personally send me an email and only if they are shipped to you.

Well, I can't say that I know any of you all that well, BUT somehow I am dragged into this by "Digby Rigby" (what the heck does that mean anyway?).

First, I have dealt with James a few times and get zero impression that he would "physically threaten" anyone. He seems more normal than most anyone in this hobby. He has been very helpful, fair, above board, and the like. A hardworking honest family man. Other reviews make this clear. James had a chance to leave me hanging with an order a long while back (granted 12 roaches is alot less than the hunreds mentioned in the previous posts) that came in mostly DOA, and I told him it was the fault of someone in the line of mail/shipment. What happened? A couple days later free replacements showed up! Not his fault but he helped me out anyway. THAT is what I know of how James is. Nice guy that helps the hobby.

Second, I wonder about this so called "Digby Rigby": is he really a black market smuggler with some minor league legitamate business to cover it? And/or severely O.C.D? Why are "he and his "partner" mutualy exclusive to the phone or to email? Who bans his partner from using the internet? Why on Earth wold they have to share a forum account? With what he says are "so many customers that pay well", can he not afford two phones, two computers, and maybe a website? I have today received yet ANOTHER email from him/them wanting me to communicate with him about some questions I asked 8 months ago and to explain to him proof that his partner quoted me a price on something. That long ago I do not remember or even care to. Who cares what his partner said to me then? I don't. I have emailed to him a couple of times to NOT contact me, even though two days ago he called me and emailed me. I have not replied to him (other than to tell him to not contact me) for fear of feeding his wierd behavior. If I am not interested in buying anything from him and I have tried to communicate this as clearly and succinctly as possible, why does he persist in contacting me? It gives me the creeps. Since he is a "bug dealer" I though all on this forum should be aware of the nut job that I think he is. If someone is an honest dealer there should be no need for the extensive "secrecy" he maintains, and the "privacy" of his clients...who cares who bought what, and for how much? It doesnt matter to anyone from what I can tell, but he acts like he is selling guns or explosives. Ex: If I pay 50 cents each or $20 each for common Discoids, who cares? This is a hobby, not international guerilla warfare.

When you read this, Digby, STOP HARRASSING ME. I WONT BUY FROM YOU NO MATTER WHAT. I DO NOT WANT TO COMMUNICATE WITH YOU ABOUT ANYTHING. Get it?

Digby Rigby
10-07-2007, 08:21 PM
I, Michael Green not Greene am here again to address each point in <edit> James Tuttles post.

1. As <edit> states this started about three years ago maybe less. He received roaches from Orin that I had already purchased before <edit> James Tuttle was ever offered the opportunity to buy. These roaches were Blaberus craniifer and parabolicus. I had purchasd these before there were any buyers for them because I knew they were an excellent investment. No one else had any parabolicus at the time and the death heads were the true black ones not the so called light phase.

2. He states that he has nothing but positive things to say about Orin, yet states that the roaches arrived either dead or dying to me that doesnt sound positive

3. <edit> Tuttle did not try to contact me and tell me that roaches arrived dead or dying. Did you notify Orin?

4. The terms and conditions of our deal are posted by me in the first post of this thread. That applied to both the craniifer and parabolicus.

5. He did ship roaches He shipped craniifer however when I had the parabolicus and the craniifer shipped to him no one else had craniifer available and no one else had parabolicus. At the time craniifer were 5 dollars a piece. He had aready been selling them and by the time he said he had any everyone had them and the price had dropped to two dollars a piece and I had not seen any of the proceeds. Read the terms of our agreement and see the vioations so far.

6. I do not disagree that he shipped roaches and I was unhappy. I said you are not going to ship me 50 death heads worth less than half now what they were when I fronted them to you and hadnt sent me my proceeds of the deal s you made inluding selling to my clients. He agreed and so the 50 parabolicus additional and the fumigata and the 50 craniifer were shipped to Mr Derryberry to complete our transaction on the craniifer but not the parabolicus.

7. Several months went by as <edit> Tuttle states before I contacte him again because I was waiting for him to tell me when he woud ship. He said he would ship the parabolicus if I woud first sent an email stating that I had receive the roaches. The problem with that is he wanted me to send that email before he woud ship the roaches and any money. Sorry I will not send a receipt for something I have not received.

8. I did call your wife <edit> she did confirm for me where you work. Which you said isnt where you work and that I didnt know where you worked. If that is so James then I couldnt have called you there. Nor have you received any calls from me at work or messages that I have called there so another lie or was it the wife who lied to me when she confirmed where you work.

9. <edit> James and I had several deal that went welll so this isnt our only one. He also knows that I have always delivered on anything I have said I would and have aways paid with the same eagerness as I was to get paid. He also knows that I have never had Digby (who posts all of our ads) put up bogus ads on anything we coudnt deliver on. Outside this deal he knows I have aways paid and had sent anything that was ordered from me. Tell people any problems you had with me other than this.

10. Your permits do not allow you to have living animals sent to you without going to a airport and paying the inspection fee. You receive animals directly via post or other delivery maybe not all but the illegal ones and alot of the roaches.

11. Not even I coud get APHIS to check you out within 2 days <edit> james and if I did would have sent them to your associates, your work and fathers place where you keep things as well. Also <edit> how could I have sent them to YOUR house if I DIDNT HAVE YOUR NEW ADDRESS

To be continued...

...continued
Michael Green here again starting here I left off...

12. Now you also state you had to replace or add the colony. At the time this alledgedly happenned where you had to replace the colonies you had not paid me any money or sent me any roaches. How could you after all they were dead and dying when you got them;) So did you replace them from someone that you had supplied to here in the states or import them? If you got them here then that means you had sold some to someone earlier which was a violation of our deal. If you imported them then you used my money to buy them because as you know I had received nocompensation at all. So th colony was still mine.

13. By Christmas of 2005 to January of2006 at te atest our relationsi ha deteriorted completely. I received no furter communicaton from you . No you say that you wanted to do no more business with me. A few months later contacted Digby Rigby in regards to our Panesthis avaiable. So you aparently stil wanted to do business. You knew athe time that Digy was working with me. You sent n email date 5-10-06 saying something to the effect you know who this is how much fr the panesthia ad lyou left number and I caled. I told you that you ad ripped me off and I didnt want to do busines with you. 2 weeks later you sent Digby another email for me stating you knew our deal went badly but you had something I coul maeke money from. I tod you I was not interested in selling phasmids for you because you stil had a outstaning debt and not to come to me just because your selers got busted and you need to mve them out.

14. At no time I threaten you or imply violence nor had I been rude to your wife when I called her. You threatened me t vioence when I told you I woud tell everyoe what you did.

15. regarless of one reputation that doe nt absove them from the culpablity of their wrong doings.

16. Your reason for ripping me off was that I was a <edit>, no one likes me and no one will believe me.

You shorted Lou Gordon on paymet of his discodi colony a while back. You sent Julie Baker aka Nixy ere on arachnoboards discoid nymphs instead of peppered roaches that she bougt an paid fr and didnt make it right and then there is me among others. So much for complete satisfaction and resolution of issues with all customers.

Now if you want to resolve this I wil post what you owe to end this here for everyone to see. I am not willing to compromise and expect paymet in full.

You alo said I was to scared and would never postr on a public forum Here I a James

As a side note all our orders are drop shipped directly to our clients by or suppliers so it i true we dont keep in stock what we sell. We also do not offer anything that hasnt been made available to us by our suppliers. All our ads are because we av suppliers who have something they wat us to sell all other busines is referals

Digby Rigby
10-08-2007, 12:08 PM
James, myself and others do it. It is an accepted way to do business. Everyone who has done business has been told this and it has been frequently mentioned in the chat and has always been disclosed. Everything we offer is made available to us by our suppliers and the ads posted were done so with their full knowledge of the merchandise we offer. In fact Michael when he talked to the owners of the site even told them so and they have no problem with it. It is much better for the animals also to be shipped directly then to get shipped, once to us and then off to our clients. What is shady about that? The point is all animals offered are available the fact that we do not have them in our possesion does not mean we are not authorized to sell the animals we offer. Nor do we accept payment without guaranteeing that they are available prior to sending payment. <edit>

10-08-2007, 12:27 PM
Let’s first start off by letting you know Mike continues to call and harass me even though I have clearly asked him to stop.

The terms according to Mike:
Number 1,2, &3
As stated earlier I did receive these roaches from Mike/Digby. I did have some deaths which where reported to Mike. I have nothing positive to say about Orin and some roaches dying during shipping are not uncommon. However there was no need for me to contact Orin because the deal was with you not him. You’re the “middleman” which means you handle issues.

Numbers 4-9
Per their own words posted on this thread I had paid for craniifer and peppered roaches.
From Digby’s post:
“Michael had bought these roaches before james had ever ordered them. Orin was getting rid of the parabolicus so he prepaid for them all. When James wanted them he paid only for the peppereds and the deatheads which came to 220 dollars.”

Now I have already stated that after making arrangement with Mike I clearly changed my mind once I learned about his character. So this is when I shipped:
50 craniifer
50 parabolicus
25 fumigata
These supposedly where going to a guy Scott who was going to breed roaches for Mike. Now me being naïve I thought this issue was done. So now several months later Mike calls me demanding another 150 parabolicus. As written in other post I offered to ship these to him if he emailed me saying we where done. Now there story continues to change and Mike calls all the time with crazy demands. I cannot tell you how many times I’ve ask for his demands in writing and received nothing.

Numbers 10-16
In my recent calls with Mike he continues to talk about me be a roach smuggler. Days after our phone conversation a smuggling agent showed up at my door. Coincidence or not I’ll let you be the judge. Now I have brought some bugs into the US without the correct paperwork and I have talked to APHIS (USDA) about this and am working on more permits. But since Mike brings this up I have found a great way for him to clear his name.
On more than one occasion Mike has posted Megaloblatta (his post on allpet):
One 50 lot of Megaloblatta longipennis. Will not split up. USA sales only. FOR FURTHER INFO YOU MUST RESPOND WITH YOUR NAME, ADDRESS, EMAIL ADDRESS AND TELEPHONE NUMBERS AND A GOOD TIME TO CALL. THIS INFORMATION IS MANDATORY. NO REPLIES WILL BE MADE TO ALL WHO DO NOT INCLUDE THIS INFORMATION. POSTAL MONEY ORDERS ONLY!

Now the fist time I talked to Mike about these he said he had a friend in South America who collected them every now and then. He then would have them shipped Illegally to his house. Mike said these where the only roaches he ever had sent to his place. He said his buyer wanted them so bad they drove from Texas to California to pick them up. So when Mike was accusing me on the phone and I asked him about this he quickly changed the story to they where CB here in the US. So Mike, just simply have your US supplier take some photos of his colony so we can all witness the great Megaloblatta colony and this will go a long ways to clearing your name. This will also show you don’t use the bait and switch to sell people stuff. Also, why don’t you try using your real name, phone number, and a price of your roaches in your ads?

Anybody here can talk to my wife about the number of calls and the questions from Mike.

The last part of your post was also disturbing. I never intentionally screwed anybody. If I somehow shipped Julie who has never contacted me about this or posted online I would gladly replace a miss-shipped order and give her the correct roaches. Also, I bought roaches from Lou for the price he was asking for them. I also do not have any emails from him and if he had any issues with me he could also contact me.

So it has already been established that I received 50 parabolicus that I did not pay for $220. It has also been established that I shipped Mike’s friend 50 parabolicus, 50 craniifer, and 25 fumigata. What else to you want Mike. Tell the people on this forum what you want from me and lets let them decide what I should do.

For the hundredth time please do not contact me anymore!!!!

Wow, oh wow! Can't I ever just enjoy a nice weekend with my family without coming back to drama? :shame:

OK, time to clear up several things. :rolleyes:

First off Mike, since you are big on the correct spelling of someone's name, mine is spelled Debby, NOT Debbie. ;)

Now please don't mince my words. I never told you that it was OK for you to post under Digby's account. What I did tell you was to either have Digby post on your behalf (seeing as you are both partners and both should be familiar and aware of each and every dealing), or for you to sign up for your own free account. You told me that you were not really the internet kind of guy and you let Digby handle that end of the business partnership.

I never said that I had a problem or didn't have a problem with how you do business. What I did say was that it was your right to run your business any way that you choose, as it is mine and everyone else's right to either choose to do business with you or not.

I also told you not to start a new thread if there was one already existing (has since been merged) and to make sure that you post within the guidelines of our rules. Meaning that there is no need to bicker or belittle someone and to just remain professional to get your point accross. There is defintely NO need to bring in someone's personal life either. I always find that you get more respect using tact and simply sticking to the facts and remaining professional. I told you that we were not here to choose sides, but to simply enforce our rules.

There will NOT be any kind of vote of any kind. This is simply between Digby, Mike and James. That's it! :wall:

You all are so quick to believe the first thing someone writes, especially if they are saying they have permission from the owners. Let this be a lesson learned, ALWAYS contact the source and that includes Scott and myself, if you ever have any questions and/or doubts.

Oh and the review forums are for first hand reviews ONLY. It is NOT for comments, questions, discussions, nor is it a place to get the seller's attention. I refer you ALL back to the rules:
