    Yeah, I know. They are a pain in the butt. But they pay the bills to keep my server running. Just a fact of life, I am afraid.

    Want to get rid of them? Simple. Just become a Contributor level member or above and they will be gone. -> Please click HERE."

    Is that too much for me to ask of you to keep this site running? Well, sorry about that. I too wish I could get everything for free. But alas.....

    Addendum: 01/10/2026
    =====================


    Google Adsense ad revenue for December, 2025 was just $30 over the cost of the lease for the server running this site. So, in effect, the money providing the incentive for me to continue running this site is coming SOLELY from the paid memberships and sponsorships here. Which honestly ain't much....

I sent him this message.

I'll take it, but all I have is a money order for $5,000.00 you can cash it and Western Union me the change, I'll send my agent by to pick it up, OK? :raspberry

the response from ClarkJonesPhones was "Listen you are a scamer"

Funny how he knows how that works isn't it?
 
I sent this message:

I want to buy one each okay. I will pay with money order for $5000 over okay. I want you send me change okay. Send me address, phone number, copy of identification, birth certificate, first born child, and your car okay.
Thank you okay.

So I offer the donkey

I would like to trade my slightly used donkey for a play station 3. he is slightly used, he made movies with pretty mexican women.

He responded with. "what are you trying to do just explain", I just e-mailed him that I wanted to trade my donkey for his play station 3 and that it likes women but I'm sure it likes men too. Then I sent him the film clip of the donkey trying to ....(well you know) :bolt01: the guy in the field, as a download. Boy is he in for a surprise.

Just thinking out loud ...

We all assume that in spite of the apparent absurdity of their offers, they must still be having some success, for they continue to make the efforts. I would like to believe that through sites such as Fauna, etc, more and more people are becoming aware of the scams, and less people are becoming victims. Never-the-less, I am amazed at the continued use of bad English, phrases like "you send, okay", "how you family" and other such non-typical wording which one would expect in more legitimate offers, or those pretending to be. There is also some satisfaction in knowing that these scammers either have the time, or are desperate enough, to be pulled into their own folly, as illustrated above, and more at length in sites such as Ebola Monkey Man, etc. Keep them nibbling as long as possible !

My thoughts exactly! Even after the absurd email I sent, he still repsonded with a reply asking for my mailing address and he would figure shipping rates for me.
The ad says Lagos but when I put in my zip it says they are 105 miles from me (I am in the DC area). hhuummmmm. I dont remember Lagos being close to me......
 
his latest reply

"sorry i do not trade but i am selling them ok so if inetrested get back ok"

He don't want the donkey! Oh its one of those really funny little film clips some one sent as a download, but I guess its only funny if its not you the donkey is trying to.... well you know.
 
ok so I tell him...

I want the play station 3, send it to me and I'll pay you for it. Here is his response, you would think that by now he would have caught on.

Hello,
we can do that due to company policy ok first you make the payment and
you get the playstation 3 ok.so get back with your full shipping
address.
awaiting your reply

Just wait til he gets my reply to this one.
 
If only it was real.
I can make him a very rich man.
And Vice Versa.
We can corner the market.

today the market.
Tommorrow the world. muha ha ha ha h a haha

oh sorry. got as little carried away.
 
this one is smarter than some of them

He seems to know I'm just playing with him, here are some more of our exchanges.

sorry i do not trade but i am selling them ok so if inetrested get back ok

Mr ClarkJones,
Now I am very insulted, first of all you won't take my Donkey in trade, then you tell me my credit is no good. I have A number 1 Credit. I really want that Play Station 3 though so I'll forgive you Ok. Tell me how much money you need for it, and where and how to send it OK. I'll send it out then, OK. I can't get that system here yet, and I have to have it fast because my Cousin Winky BoBo says he's getting one, and he always gets that stuff first, he didn't contact you did he, if he does tell him your out, OK. His e-mail address is [email protected], so you know, OK. DOn't sell him one, OK. He wants one real bad,OK. I want to beat him this time, OK. I need to know if you can play the old games from Playstation 1 and 2 on it and does it come with any free games, OK. It would be faster if you would send it to me and let me pay you after I get it. Where are you anyway, maybe I could come by and pick it up. But tell me how to sed the money.

Thanks,
Fred

P.S. if you change your mind about the Donkey let me know, and I'll send him and the handler (the guy in the movie, the donkey really likes him) over to you, but you have to get your own handler and send mine back.rested get back ok


I accidently deleted his reply to this one, but he still wants my full name and shipping address.


Mr CrackJones
No I think you are scummer OK, send me your full name and address OK, and how much it is OK, I want to see pictures too Ok. You sure you don't want the Donkey. Can I pay with PayPal OK. You didn't answer any of my questions ok, and if I find out you e-mailed my cousin Winky BoBo I'm gonna be real mad Ok.

Fred


wow I deleted another one, he basically asked for my information again, the guy has no imagination.

credit cards?

sorrry but we do not accept credit card.first get back with your full
shipping address.


time to play again.....cyal8er
