    **************************************************
    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....

:rofl: And once they mail the "drugs" to you so there is proof that you "buy cocaine" then you will have proof that they are dealers in illegal drugs by selling them to you........... :rofl:

Yeah, they are going to do that...... :rolleyes:
 

This Miriah Lopez, has several ads on the Bearded Dragon website, I've gone there and for the life of me I can't find a single person to contact about this scammer using their website.

Does any one have a clue who the webmaster is on that site, or any contact person, for that matter??

She's banned:?party:

Here's the message I sent and Steven's reply...

Hello Lynn,

Thank you for bringing this to my attention! All listings from this person
have been removed and I'll look for any future listings from them so they
will be blocked as well. I'm in the process of making a major update to the
site which will help control issues like this in the future.

Thanks again,

Message: In addition to stealing photos, Miriah Lopez has taken money for
animals she doesn't have, and then threatens the individual to get more
money, a typical Cameroon scam.

She has several ads here on your website.

There's a BOI post on Fauna classifieds, about this person, which you can
read for yourself.

It's a travesty the things some lowlifes are doing to unsuspecting folks in
our industry.

Thank for your time with this matter..

Despite what has been found, I'll have to admit this post on his facebook page does give me pause. Following the logic outlined in this screen shot does add another layer for a scammer to hide behind, in the meantime pinning it on another person.

Back tracking all of the information I found on Yongue Willy, this Facebook identity scam would in fact be a plausible explanation, meaning Yongue Willy "could possibly" be a victim as well.

I sent him a Facebook message either way.

Too late for me to take pause, I already sent a pitcher FULL!

Really I'm not bothered by it, if it's not him, I'm quite sure he'll get back with me and let me know.

I don't know how to add a photo. I can't figure it out I have 198 emails between us. They are threatening that if I don't send more money I won't get the dragon and they will call the police and say I'm dealing drugs. People are crazy. I have never experienced this before. I have bought things from people off the internet and eBay for years and never had a problem. My kids are so upset they are not getting their beardie ��
one thing I do know is that even if they do call the police and say you are dealing drugs, the cops do a complete investigation into it before they ever come knocking on your door. They don't just take someone's word for it, so if you have nothing to hide, then there is no worry. Take stuff like that with a grain of salt, its just scare tactics.
 
From Snopes:


CLAIM
Facebook "pirates" perpetrate scams by setting up look-alike Facebook accounts that copy other users' profiles. See Example(s)

EXAMPLES Collected via e-mail, December 2012
WARNING!! Some hackers are now taking your profile picture and your name and creating a new FB account. They then ask your friends to add them. Your friends think it is you, so they accept. From that moment on they can say and post whatever they want under your name. Please don’t accept a second friendship request from me, I have only one account. Copy this on your wall to keep others informed.

New scam on Facebook … There is now “Pirates” who copy your profile picture and asks for friendship in your name with a new account. Do not accept any requests in my name since this is my only account … Thanks to all … Copy this post to the wall … Recommended to all your contacts

Please be careful: some hackers have found something new. They take your profile picture and your name and create a new FB account. Then they ask your friends to add them. Your friends think it is you, so they accept. From that moment on they can say and post whatever they want under your name. Please don’t accept a second friendship demand from me, I have only one account.

Heads-ups!! Almost every account is being cloned. Your picture and your name are used to create a new facebook account (they don’t need your password to do this). They want your friends to add them to their facebook account. Your friends will think that it’s you and accept your request. From that point on they can write what they want under your name. I have NO plans to open a new account. Please DO NOT accept a 2nd friend request from “me”. Copy this message on your wall.

RATING
PARTLY TRUE
ORIGIN
Warnings about Facebook “pirates” who copy other users’ profiles were circulating widely on that social media site in December 2012 and have reappeared periodically since then.

It is true in a general sense that some scammers have engaged in Facebook cloning, a process in which the scammer creates a new Facebook account using a profile picture and similar name taken from an existing user, then sends out friend requests which appear to originate from that user. (The requests often claim the sender has just set up a new Facebook account or was locked out of his previous account.) The end purpose of such scams varies: it may be to send Facebook users links to malicious websites that propagate malware, to perpetrate phishing schemes, or to collect personal information from users that can be used for identity theft.

However, contrary to the example text reproduced above, Facebook cloning is not a “new scam,” nor is there any evidence that its occurrence has increased greatly in recent days. (It also isn’t a “hack,” as the scam requires no special privileges nor breaking in to any Facebook accounts to accomplish.)

In general, Facebook users should always be cautious with friend requests: attempt to verify their validity before accepting them, be wary of additional requests from persons you have already befriended, and take care about what information you share with friends on Facebook.
