    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.

    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....

Inquiry Fauna user mattk24 some things don't add up any info??

Although I don't really take stock in IP addresses telling the ENTIRE story about someone's actual location, I do have to admit that I find the fact that a number of the posts made here by "matk24" (and I would like to point out that taking the time and making the effort to make certain that the member name is ACCURATELY spelled in the topic line would go a L-O-N-G way towards making a thread of this nature actually useful to anyone) originate from the following IP address to be interesting.

Yes, that is rather interesting.

....
 
Matt, meet with Jay, who you seem to think is dangerous, at the Police Dept. in San Diego.

No risk involved meeting at the P.D.

Just a thought.....

Matt, I'm guessing the meeting with Jay was NEVER going to happen, and now with WebSlave's findings, we know the REAL reason why....

It will take you a little over 3 hours to get to San Diego.

Better luck on the next website you use.....

In my experience a guilty person acts exactly the way mat did. I've never met an innocent person who acts that defensively when asked a few simple questions. I hope anyone who thinks about running a scam here or on Facebook reads this thread and realizes there's a good chance they will get caught before they even get to scam anyone. I also hope mat wasn't able to convince anyone to send him funds before this was posted, if he was I hope they will post here.
 
And it seems as though my suspicions were correct. At least they appear to be. Hmm

Way to go Jay! This is just proof that often our first instinct about people is right. I'll be surprised if we hear from mat again after what webslave posted, that's not an easy one to talk your way out of and even if he tries I highly doubt anyone will believe him.
 
Or save the gas money and post Id here.

Hello Jay, okay, lets do it.

Yes, I'm from Mcallen, I'm at mexico right now. I'm a traveler Man, What the problem is? I dont need to tell you where I'm, where i live, or who i'm.

My origin, is not your problem, if you buy my animals, you can pick up at San diego or receive them via Fedex.

If you dont trust me, i can put Bills and other things the next week. if anyone want my animals, can go at san diego where the animals are , my uncle is already viewing this thread and laughing a lot!! :rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl: ;)

Mr Kenton,
This thread is NOT the place to try to peddle your remaining animals - that is the function of the classifieds. How many animals you have available is irrelevant here; so, please, stop posting that information.
 
Instead of taking it with a grain of salt that people are questioning you, you still have your stinking attitude. I don't get it!?! If you would drop your attitude and understand where people are coming from in their questioning of you then you would get that people don't like being scammed. Your ads and subsequent demeanor SCREAM scammer, which is why this was posted.

Get over yourself. It doesn't matter how many animals you sell, that doesn't mean that you'll be anything in this hobby/business. You actually have to have some sort of decorum and not a holier than thou attitude at all times in order for future people to want to work with you. By all means, continue with your attitude and be so off-putting that no other breeders/keepers will want to work with you. That's the perfect attitude to have.

I couldn't give a rat's meow where anyone is from, so long as they're portraying themselves with a bit of restraint and understanding when doing business. If you're going to be doing business with the public; yet you treat the public like they're dumb plebeians, then you're not someone I will ever want to do business with, nor are you someone that I would ever recommend. As I've said before; best of luck out there, you're going to need it.
 
If someone attacked me, like they did this guy Well sorry I would not just let it happen either.... No proof of anything and your blowing him up, sad the way this Industry is now and such so Called "experts" that think they are better then some.... The Border Line Racist comments are uncalled for as well, Matt I would not worry about these guys or there comments, There are many other sites you can sell on, I would recommend going there.....

Yes yes sure. He is in Mexico and in San diego at the same time. From McAllen traveling here and there. He can't meet me in sd because he fears for his life but now webslave tracks his ip and now Matt admits he's in Mexico. He's birn in 1993 one place in the 80,s on this ID. Interesting that he's in Veracruz right now and is advertizing Abronia taeniata on facebook pages for rare and uncommon imports. Shocking.
Also your ID means little to me it might be fake. you see a number of years ago there was A guy( do I dare say a mexican without being called a racist?) who got out of prison for drug smuggling in Texas and you know what he got a valid Kansas ID with all of my information in my name in his picture on it.he'd been deported after being released from prison then he came back into the US and literally got drivers license with my name it cost me so many problems with the IRS getting apartments in my name rental cars in my name and didn't return them etc. so I don't trust you Matt. Everything that you're doing stinks of fraud I'm not saying that you don't have the animals I'm not saying that you're not going to have animals in the United States this week I'm just saying I don't think you're who you say you are that's it.you have proven many times on this thread already to be lying. If you're in Mexico why did you say you were in San Diego?anyway I've proven my point it's up to the masses to decide whether not they feel comfortable sending you money have a good day Matt in Mexico I mean in San Diego I mean in Texas.
 
I would stay far away ,because of the way he murders english.;)
To expand on this: if you are going to do business then you must have a solid command of the language in which you're doing business. Otherwise how can there be a true meeting of the minds between the buyer and the seller when descriptions and negotiations are written ambiguously, in text-speak, or using such poor grammar and punctuation that three people who read the communications can come up with four different interpretations?

Too many "born and raised here" Americans do not have a solid command of the English language...and the ones that can (sort of) hold their own in spoken conversation, don't exactly shine in written communication. You must deny a lot of potential customers.
 
I do massive amounts of international business. Grammar and proper punctuation. Literacy etc means nothing to me. But I have come to recognize a lot of things about they way people communicate. And as I stated before everything about this member indicates what I suspected originally and it was confirmed by webslave. And then admitted by Matt that he was in Mexico. I am so shocked I was correct in my suspicions... Not really
