• 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.

I myself had the same problem when I got scammed by him and Pay Pal did not back me up. I contacted my local police department and his local police department but neither of which were any help. Everybody has his actual name phone number and address yet he has been at this for years and never get in trouble. He is also a FedEx employee. I beat this thing to death for 3 months trying to get help because I was scammed out of several hundred dollars and a hybrid iguana. I finally gave up

This is the gig and why he keeps doing it. He keeps the scam under a $1,000 each time. He can scam 1 person for $10,000 and bring the authorities raining down on him OR he can scam 20 people for $500 each and the authorities are left with no legal out of state bite... he knows this.
 
Just a reminder - be careful about posting links to other forums as "evidence"... if the relevant information is posted under a screen name, it's anonymous third party quotation.
 
He just tried to pull a similar scam with us called from this number 757-707-1954 said his name was Daniel George, was trying to trade us 3 Lewisi hybrids for 2 iguanas 1 albino, one red. At first he was in Virginia, then he was in St George Utah. Wanted us to ship to this address:

Derek Woodards
10 Eastmoor circle
Moorhead, MS 38761

He said it was shipping to his son, that's not too far from us so we asked if we could just meet and he said no because it was a present.

We asked him to send us a copy of his label before we were going to ship and it listed an address in St George Utah.

122 Martin Lane
St George Utah 84770

We googled the address and it doesn't exist so we started digging. He had the email address [email protected] listed so we googled it and a few links pulled up leading us to several other places and here. He also sent us a label standard overnight and I feel like anyone who has shipped an animal ever knows it needs to go Priority or First overnight if you want to get it alive.

Luckily we aren't sending him anything. But we would have been out over a grand.
 
He hides in plain sight but we have yet to hear from a victim who pushes the matter with the police.
