• In the past two days I have gotten emails asking about being requested to provide credit card info in order to register and also to make a post in the classifieds forums. PLEASE NOTE: In no instance will this site ask you for this sort of information. The only time any request for payment is made is if you choose to opt-in for a higher membership level, and that is done SOLELY through PayPal. Anything else is coming from a source other than this site. My guess is that this is coming through Google Adsense, but when I can get someone to send me a screen shot of this sort of request, I will know more.
  • 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.

Yet another Aldabra tortoise ad using images pirated from the internet.
The first image used can be found in scam ads all over the internet, as well as informational and picturepages; but it appears to belong to toucanjungle.com
http://www.toucanjungle.com/Tortoises.html
The second image...well, this is a stretch, but - without devoting time to a search - it seems to belong to BlueBeast Reptile....because "Mr Houston" conveniently left the BlueBeast Reptile watermark when he posted.
The third image - to be honest, I didn't have to look for this one, either; because I've seen it so many times before AND seen the owner of the photo claim it in the past. It belongs to Tyler Stewart at TortoiseSupply
http://www.tortoisesupply.com/juvenile-aldabra-tortoise/

I did a quick search here, and found that BlueBeast Reptile was Tyler Stewart back in 2004...but Nick A had already informed me of the BlueBeast/TortoiseSupply connection.


For reference, or for anybody inclined to throw perfectly good money away after reviewing this thread, the contact info used in the ad was [email protected] and (305) 901-8103

Harald, as always GREAT JOB, WELL DONE!

Yet another scammer, I emailed this newbie to Fauna Classifieds, that joined today..

His response in short "Send money to Africa, I'm on a mission".

In addition, I since called, and it answers "CALL REJECTED":shrug01:

Not a very smart one. Changed his name and information during our conversations three times.

First he was Brounli James Houston from Dallas Texas.

Then he was BOBO in Laurel MD.

Finally I was to send funds to
The animals are guaranteed live arrival. 30 day money back Guarantee. Veterinarian certified Health certificate
One year Health Guarantee.
If your animals gets sick any time within the first year you can ship them back to us and we will treat her free of charge to you (other than shipping) and return him when he is healthy. Our vets are very experienced dealing with these animals so you.
We except money order via western union.
Note that all door-to-door animal delivery orders must have someone available to receive and sign for the package (at the first attempt of delivery) or the Health Guarantee is void.
We can do this now of you make the money available to me via western union
here is my address.
