• Responding to email notices you receive.
    **************************************************
    In short, DON'T! Email notices are to ONLY alert you of a reply to your private message or your ad on this site. Replying to the email just wastes your time as it goes NOWHERE, and probably pisses off the person you thought you replied to when they think you just ignored them. So instead of complaining to me about your messages not being replied to from this site via email, please READ that email notice that plainly states what you need to do in order to reply to who you are trying to converse with.

    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.....

    =====================


    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....

This is the first time I've ever been contacted by a scammer.

Here's the email he sent me:

To: [email protected]
Subject: Message about: Surplus male Rosy boas and 2003 male KSB for sale
From: [email protected]

HELLO Seller,

Best Of Regards
 
Ive gotten emails just like that when selling a car. I never respond to them. I said cash only and the email still asked about a check and for how much. If they send an automated response with questions that were answered in the ad that means they dont have time to read it properly (considering it is not a scam) and therefore would not be able to properly care for the animal.
 
another nigerean scam. just love how the item in question is in () just like a fill in the blank email.... god when will these morons learn.
 
Clara,

Would you mind posting that thread again but in the BOI. Here it will get lost in the General Business Discussions and some people may miss this information you are providing. Maybe posting it in the Nigerian scam thread so we can have them all together and people are aware of it.

Kindly. :)
