• 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.....

    Addendum: 01/10/2026
    =====================


    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....

I had placed a wanted ad on fauna asking for Het Hypo Redfoot. 2 days later a guy referenced above contacted me by email asking if I was still looking for redfoot. I emailed back I was looking for Het hypo. He switched to text and sent pics of killer Brazilians and Venezuela redfoots, he did not know what Het hypo were. I told him I would be interested in the Brazilians and he said 450 per pair. He did not know how to FaceTime so I was suspicious and he said he lived in D.C. so an hour away. He said to meet him at his home and I said someplace public so he said meet at hotel. He never showed but soon after I arrived he texted laughter and said “you think your smart” “but I made you waste fuel and time” he used a phone # of 3607498198 and email of Davisbreedingfarm. Watch him. Frank Dombrowski [email protected]

He contacted me as well, but I see he dropped Benjamin.

I've been playing with him, emails are attached. I'm waiting on my check, when it arrives, I'll drop the bomb on him then.:rofl:

Find somewhere in the emails, where we discussed, price, or species?????

They're going strictly off a sheet in front of them, because it's obvious to me they don't read English, and if they do, it's very poorly.....

Give these scam artist an inch and they'll take a mile...

Of course start at the bottom, and read up.

David,
If your assistant over paid, you have nothing to worry about. I’m an honest person, unlike some of the scam artist out there, I’ll refund your over pay through Western Union.

Again, no worries, you’ll have your money back, the same day I receive it, I’ll need to know who to Western Union it to??

I’ll email you as soon as I receive payment.

Thank You!

Regards,
Lynn

This is urgent and I need your response. I just found out that my Assistant overpaid you. The payment meant for another item was made out in your name and sent to you.However I want to believe I wont have a problem with you on this. Once you receive the payment, Please proceed to the bank and cash the payment, deduct your money and send back my Balance to me through western union then we proceed with pick-up arrangement. I really hope I can fully trust you with this? I will await your response on this so my mind can be at ease.
Thanks.

David,
If payment hasn’t been mailed, no worries, I have another who wants to buy them, so if you want them I need to know no later than 5 p.m today.

Lynn

Great!. I'm going on a business trip but I will instruct my assistant to prepare and mail your payment which I'm sure you will get in about 2-3 days business days. I'll add $40 extra for the delay. I'll pay by M O or cashier check so send me your info (i.e full name, mailing address and your phone number) so payment can be mailed out immediately. I will also make arrangement for pick-up which will be after you must have received and cashed the payment.Awaiting your info.

Still up for sale? let me know the final price
 
Lynn, yes he is a piece of work. I talked to him on the phone 1 time and could barely understand what he was saying. Let me know what happens. Frank
 
Here's a follow up to this scammer.

The shipping label has a return address of Florida, Square Deal Lumber CO.

It was mailed from Indiana, and the check has an address California.

I'm betting dollars to doughnut holes this joker is in Africa.

It was fun, but I've reached the end of this game, I WON:D

Attached is the shipping label and the check I received in the mail today.

I almost forgot, there was NEVER any discussion about what he wanted to purchase, or what I had for sale, and yet, look at the amount of the check.:shrug01: I remember back when scammers had more class, and brains.....

Well I hope Karma catches up with him.
