• 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.....

    =====================


    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....

So this person Mark Robbin https://www.faunaclassifieds.com/forums/members/markrepfasc.237079/ replied to one of my wanted posts. He offered me two turtles. 1 large scorpion mud, 1 large white lipped mud. Originally he asked for 300$ shipped but said he's open to offers.

So I asked if he'd do 165$. He says yes, this was through an email he told me to respond to.

He then sends me his paypal account which was a different email from the one used(thats fine, I use spoof emails to feel out interactions so spammers dont have my main email). He was supposed to ship out thursday for friday arrival. He said he couldnt, and apologized. I asked for a refund to try again the following week.

He ignores me asking for that, and says hell ship out on friday. I said no, Id rather wait till next week. He said ok, ill ship out next week. I said refund it and ill repay the following week. He ignores then I say atleast ship it friday because hes acting sketchy to me. Guy says he will, comes friday- absolutely no response. No tracking numbers. I file a claim through paypal, then I get emailed by a lady with broken english asking why I am messing with her account reputation. Asks me to cancel claim. Says to talk it out with him. Says he took the money out. I said no, I want my money back. Then apparently he goes on paypal talking in spanish to try to throw them off as a misunderstanding. I spoke back in spanish, then radio silence by him. The lady messages me, saying to give her my whatsapp that shell put us both together. That she wasnt aware of all of this. That he apparently sent it. I asked where tracking is, says he dont have it. Its already monday. No package from fedex or ups. Figured he lied and sent it 3 day shipping, still no usps either. I get prenotifications of all packages that are being delivered to my house- tracking or no tracking(its a service).

The lady tells me to cancel claim that I wont win, etc. etc.

I caught him today checking out the forums.

He IS STILL TRYING TO SCAM. He's also dropped different emails in different threads. Normally not alarming but given the behavior.

Still waiting for paypal to escalate dispute to claim.


I have more photos but not sure how to add.

Btw, this is my first time buying on here directly from a member. 🫠😩 Screenshot_20240805_184801_Samsung Internet.jpgScreenshot_20240803_135327_Gmail.jpgScreenshot_20240803_134825_Gmail.jpgScreenshot_20240803_134816_Gmail.jpg

I hope your PayPal claim is successful (should be, if it is a simple Goods and Services, no shipment sort of claim). Thanks for calling out the scammer here.

Thank you, I was tempted not to because I know how heated stuff can get in here in the past. I am also aware I am a tad paranoid so full disclosure. But the whole situation was suspicious. I see some people on here who only accept zelle, cashapp or friends and family but that doesn't offer you the buyer protection.

Yea he never delivered. I check my packages infront of the mail person and open it infront of them just to verify things.
 
You've given evidence in support of your claims, so you've done your due diligence. Anyone who isn't happy with that is responsible for their own feelings.
Thank you so much. I am always nervous about these situations. I am actually angrier that my account now has a record of opening 1 dispute. I try to be super careful. 😟
