Baby Bigfoot Seller Writes In
Posted by: Loren Coleman on September 12th, 2006
Dominick Perez, the self-proclaimed Maine baby Bigfoot or Yarwen alleged poacher and alleged seller, writes in to Cryptomundo on Tuesday, 9/12/2006 at 5:24 PM:
the article was funny, although the owner of [deleted] didn’t appreciate one of your lunatic readers blaring his car horn at 2 am and demanding to see the bigfoot for a half hour. i haven’t lived there in years the police were finally called and he’s won an all expense paid trip to the local jail.
wether your readers believe or not is irrelevant. a wealthy individual now owns the beast, and i’m on easy street. if he chooses to exhibit it that’s on him. thanks for the free publicity!
p.s. someone on your site posted a comment that i am promoting a fraudulent insurance scam. if the moron would have actually read our website he would see that our products are provided by some of the best known companies in the industry. but considering the intelligence level of the average visitor to your site, judging by the [deleted] from last night, i doubt they would be able to understand any of it anyway!
I guess there is no need to give any more attention to this gentleman. We will await contact from the “mystery owner” or the promised forthcoming news conference, but Mr. Perez and his alleged millionaire status will not get any more notice here.
For the background history on this story, please see “$17 Million For Baby Bigfoot”.
- Similar Phenomena:
Is anyone else sick of these hoaxes? This episode was becoming flat out comical. I’m just glad that this guy won’t get any more undeserved attention from this site. My first comment!
As always, time will tell on this story.
Open letter to Mr. Perez:
I have these fantastic beans that I would love to sell you. All I ask is for a money order for $1 million and I will drop them in the mail. TRUST ME - they’re worth it!
If he no longer lives at that address what was he doing there at 2 a.m. watching the “lunatic reader” get arrested?
$17 million? The tax man cometh.
Ahh, it’s stories like these that renew my lack of faith in humanity…
What a hoot!
He sounds angry. Why?
He should be laughing all the way to the bank and too busy talking with lawyers and accountants to be reading anything on this website much less being upset about what is written here.
Honking in front of a house demanding to see bigfoot! Wish I’d been there to see bigfoot and the honking too.
Odd he didn’t mention how he buried an adult Bigfoot to dispute his detractors or why.
Why did he shoot and kill the adult to begin with?
How odd the young Bigfoot was so docile in this situation that it could be handcuffed. (Was it read its rights?) I suppose the lesson here is that young bigfoot are easy to approach and only become incredibly elusive during the rebellious teenage years? (teenagers!!!! What can you do with them??!!!)
I think the real tragedy of this whole story is not the hoax or the attempted fraud or not that it is even a bad scam/hoax. (I can appreciate a really well told hoax that has a cohesive story line as mush as the guy.) It is horrible that in reality someone could probably get away with murdering a Bigfoot with nothing but scorn from some and probably even admiration from others.
I too was compelled to write for the first time after reading this illiterate yet sad excuse for a hoax. I’ve been a regular visitor to this site for quite a while, but when I saw someone so ignorant attempt to engage in debate on this subject it prompted me to wade into the fray personally - so here I am.
Just waiting for a good topic so I can contribute my 1st comment but I guess I am not edumacated enuf for Mr. Perez. And to think I was going to write in and tell Loren that for $3.33 (price of a 6 pack of mt dew up here), I would show him my squirrel that talks to my chow Zeus. Zeus by the way happens to look alot like the Maine mutant, but I digress. I need to get some better contacts like Mr. Perez has to reach that $17 million plateau but us hicks in Montana can’t count to 17 much less 17 million. Oh well, there is bliss in ignorance anyways!
Aaaw come on, Perez, at least give us a drawing of the eyes!
This guy has more holes in his story than swiss cheese. If he was on “easy street”, what’s he doing on a Jersey street corner at 2 a.m.?
I have to agree with ‘VoiceOfReason’, if the event even occured.
What a clown. I think it’s beyond time to move on to something with a little more substance.
Which would be just about anything.
Good riddance to bad rubbish.
I just want to see the hand drawn Yarwen sketches!
You would think a cryptid like a bigfoot or “yarwen” would qualify as an exotic animal under any state laws. I’m sure Mr. Perez would have legally have had to obtain a license to own or sell this creature. I’m guessing he didn’t so maybe the police should be informed of this illegal activity. On the other hand we morons could be persuaded to keep silent if Mr. Perez gave us half of the 17 million…
So much for baby yarns…
Wayne
Maybe with 17 million, Perez can get some schooling and learn to compose sentences and spell properly!
Makes me ashamed to be from Jersey. I still think narcotics may be a factor.
wow this is a funny story…obviously this is to promote the movie that was mentioned about a baby bigfoot….lmao…….publicity stunt all the way !
to the buyer (I hope this person reads this), do the right thing and do humane research on the baby and then get it to a large zoo or something. I’m thinking that, if this is all real, without mother the young one won’t be too successful on its own. But over all if this is all real, get that little one to proper scientists where they can log the dna into the databases and get this critter catagorized for all time. Probably could get away with caring for it yourself, if you could handle it. Just remember, in the not too long future that little one will be strong enough that I doubt you could contain it. For everyone thinking this is a hoax, I am hoping it is, but just in case I would like to see the little one treated the best possible and big foot to finally enter the world of known animals.
If he really had all that money do you think he’d be bothering to write in here to question a few peoples intelligence? hehe, that was a last ditch effort to get some attention back again, failed in a miserable way
i guess the IRS needs to pay a visit to mr perez. they like instant payment of taxes on amounts that large. or mr perez can stay in the same cell as richard hatch from survivor fame has he didn’t pay taxes on his millions either. some one want to do their civic duty. the IRS pays rewards on tips like these.
hmm i wonder who will do who’s laundry.
i dont believe the story and wont till i see proof. idiot and ignorant im not. nor am i one of the ones born every minute.
if i had 17 million i wouldn’t be reading a web site for a while. there are a few things i need to get.
Welcome to the new writers who are placing comments here for the first time. Hopefully, there will be other items for you to remark about in past or future blogs.
To shumway: Once again, you are making an assumption about the large cryptid being a female and a mother. Obviously, one can project his or her own ideas about what the adult might have been, but please be advised, such details as the gender of the alleged adult or young animals (”Yarwen”) was not shared here.
Thanks to the people asking to see a drawing of the eyes. We need that kind of comic relief. Of course, I’m still holding out for some photographs.
come on folks..time to smell the coffee..there is no perez guy..this is probably [spelling corrected] a joke on you all..played by uncle loren himself!!!
longrifle…The automatic moderating software didn’t catch this one but, wow, your posting privileges may be on the verge of being suspended forever with that outrageously untrue, not funny, comment! LOL.
Please get your facts correct: I’m not your uncle.
Loren says: “To shumway: Once again, you are making an assumption about the large cryptid being a female and a mother…”
I think this is a fair assumption, it is the most obvious thing to assume. Looking at other species of apes, the young ones rarely “hang out” with older males without their mother beeing around. Like us, they are dependent of their mother for many years.
You’re welcome about the “drawing of the eyes” post, no matter if this story is real or not (I hope/assume it’s not), all we can do is laugh at this foolish man.
If this story somehow proves to be true, the only solace I can find is in one of the maxims my mother taught me when I was a child. It has proven itself to be true so many times.
A Fool and His Money Are Soon Parted.
If you listen closely enough you can hear the last few coins rattling around the toilet bowl all the way from New Jersey.
He’s a scam artist. Even if this is a PR stunt, it’s a poorly executed one at best.
Perez, it’s folks like you who give sociopaths a bad name.
Darn the hoaxer obvious isn’t very good. Getting angry ruined the whole thing. I was hoping for more. I have to say that the part about somebody honking their horn at 2AM demanding to see bigfoot was absolutely hilarious.
Okay, this guy has been cut off! 86 this guy Loren. He deserves no more attention. I have a hand of unknown origin for him to dodge! LOL
As one who actually does hunt, with the intent to harvest a specimen of this creature, I think this guy is all BS.
First of all, there are no millions to be made on this. At best, a few dollars can be seen for the movie/story rights of a successful attempt.
I don’t think that a bounty has ever been paid to verify the existance of any animal.
Now, many will decry my efforts, but you have all heard science say, “Bring us a body.” I think one will have to ‘take one for the team’ in order to protect the habitat of the rest.
By the way, my efforts are in full compliance with all hunting laws, rules, and regulations. No malicious intent here, just the collection of a specimen.
I’m just curious, is it possible to confirm that someone was arrested at this address honking his horn at 2AM?
I think UK Crptid hit the nail on the head if Mr Perez had his money I think we would be the last thing on his mind. His whole story stinks.
As for Longrifle 48 doubting the integrity of this site no way - all articles are given impartial objective treatment and the urge to sensationalise is resisted. Us guys love this site precisely because of that.We know that hoaxers, scammers etc come with the territory but continually see them off with our collective intelligence, wit and perception. long may it continue.
I love ya Loren but if I just got handed 17 million bucks I don’t think I would bother writing to you and insulting this sites readership. Seems to me just about everyone here sees this for what it is…just another red herring ala Tom Biscardi…is scamming people on Bigfoot the hot new thing to do this year? Sure seems like it…
Later

What a maroon.
Thus I paraphrase Bugs Bunny… “What a maroon! Ha ha ha! What an ignoranimus!”

It’s Quote # 10.
So long DP been real funny but we will not miss you at all.
“He sounds angry. Why?”
Camperguy, he figured we’d bite, and he overestimated his own cleverness. That’s why.
To Al the fearless Bigfoot hunter:
If you shoot and kill a BF that will be your own punishment.
Not that I think you’re competent to do so.
DT40 said “us guys love this site.” Us guys? Does this mean I’m the only crypto-chick who posts? (by crypto-chick, I am *not* referring to the hidden chick, but a chick who is interested in cryptozoology…just so you know)
I’m with the “this guy’s a legend in his own mind” camp.
“Perez” is a sad guy who wants attention. I say it’s time we stop giving him what he wants.
Well, I’m forced to agree with Al in a way. For the existence of this species to ever be recognized and for its environments to be protected, I do think one will have to be killed. Or somehow a body will have to be found. Trapping a live one would be much more difficult and not particularly practical.
Trust me, I’d rather not see one of the big guys harmed, but I just don’t see it ever going down any other way.
(And not that I could ever in a million years see myself out in the woods packing a rifle and “loaded for bigfoot.” No way.)
And granted, considering the likelihood that they are social animals, I’d sure hate the possibility of dealing with the dead squatch’s “tribe” in the aftermath.

Ditto gridbug’s comments. This whole thing has just been too funny. And some of you still think it may have been true?
Your right black wings, I’d hate to have to deal with the BF tribe; especially, if it was a mother and baby shot and kidnapped. The BigFather may be forced to rip the arms off and toss the little pink monkeys out of the forest. As I said before time will tell; eventhough, it has been over 20 years since my sighting. Ive heard many stories; since, with more weight even without proof. By the way one siting from a native friend and his brother that seen a sasquatch after dropping their nets in a river on their way back home. Saw it’s eyes, he said they were emerald green.
Mr. Perez, the IRS knows where you live. Good luck.
Mr. Perez, since you’re in the insurance business, an incredibly wealthy cryptozoologist friend of mine was wondering if he could get a $17 million life insurance policy for his Yarwen?
Go back to your mom’s [deleted] basement!
I thought I saw a skunk ape in Malibu once but it turned out to be a biker. You can tell the difference ’cause they swear a lot more when you dart ‘em. Starting bid on him’s only $50 though….
Let’s start looking at potential “Mystery Buyers” who would not only actually HAVE $17 mil, but would also be interested in “owning” a baby Sasquatch… Hmmm…
1) Michael Jackson
2) Mike Tyson
3) Siegfried & Roy
I’m out. Anybody else want to add to the list?
My money (not nearly 17 mil) is on Jackson.
Hey Perez, get a life!
Just remember kids, “Crack is whack!”
This guy sure sounds huffy for someone who just made 17 million. I would be off in Greece or somewhere, not searching the internet to see if anyone was mentioning me, let alone wasting my time responding.
Hahahahaha…baby bigfoot, ya right!
IF this tale is true, and if Bigfoot proves to be what I suspect (Meganthropus) then killing the adult was by definition HOMICIDE and taking the baby KIDNAPPING.
Interesting, will see where this ends up.
To Sky King - I don’t particularly care if you think me competent or not. I reckon my time and resources spent in working on this puzzle are well worth it.
To all others, as the particular species of this creature has not been actually determined, yet, I suspect that terms such as ‘homicide’ and ‘kidnapping’ are a bit pre-mature.
This DP fella doesn’t know much about these animals as evidenced in his dissertation. His fantasy is missing a few key ingredients to come even close to being laughable. He is just another wanna-be that is trying to get his 15 minutes of fame and fortune.
After all that. I am wondering what would actually happen if I came up with a Bigfoot. Would the government take it away from me. Would I be charge with kidnapping, would someone offer money to me for it, or would the Blue Book boys have me erased? Interesting to think about. Maybe I should just go get one and see, I know where they hang out, so why not?
Anyone know how to build a Bigfoot Trap???
Ok it’s obvious that this guy has spent a little too much time in the Meth lab and not enough time trying to become a competent, contributing member of society…
Y’know, in this day and age, it is not possible to obtain $17 million and avoid the IRS. Big brother watches financial transactions very carefully and all ’suspicious’ transactions are investigated by the FBI. That agency also has contacts in the IRS, and more than likely interacts with any applicable state tax and investigatory agencies. So assume for a moment, that our Genius-at-Large did score his windfall, his troubles are just beginning. It will begin with a phone call to the effect of, “Good morning Mr. Perez, we’d like to congratulate you on your recent windfall. In fact, we’d like to discuss it with you and ensure that you have not been taken advantage of. Come on down to the Federal Building, and we shall visit for awhile.”
FYI - They don’t care one iota about the animal, only the money. Currently there are NO Federal agencies that have any interest in this creature, at all.
If you come into the possession of one, your biggest fear should be from the competing organizations in the BF community and the manner in which they will attempt to discredit you.
*highfives Sunny* Go crypto-chicks!
DP needs to get a ride to the mall from mommy and find a new hobby.
