• 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....

Bad Guy catherine kimball scammer

There to big to add as attachments and I don't have a print screen button on this wireless keyboard and my gf is working on my other computer so if someone else who get them in a email can post them . Sorry Kmarsh I tried ..
 
I am not directing this at anyone but there is a reason this is posted all over Craigslist.

Avoid scams and fraud by dealing locally! Beware any deal involving Western Union, Moneygram, wire transfer, cashier check, money order, shipping, escrow, or any promise of transaction protection/certification/guarantee

Usually as soon as anyone doesn't do paypal and asks for a money order I know to stay away...
 
NOOOO honey. I paid with pay pal and that is not a secure method of assuring a dang thing either. Take a look at the wise thread and such. There is no way to guarantee that you wont get scammed. Every one is looking for their best deal in spending their money. Blamd goes the the scammers and we need to do everything we can to prosecute each and every one of them.
 
I used a Postal Money order, one reason the post office is looking into this right now. U.S.P.S. money order fraud is taken very seriously.

I know it was still dumb of me to trust someone. I've been doing business online for years through ebay, paypal, CL & Hoobly. This is the first time I was scammed. I should have known the price was too good to be true. It's just I deal in rescue, and I'm amazed at what critters people surrender.
 
Okay, here are the emails between Paige and Catherine; Paige faxed them to Kathy; Kathy forwarded them to me.

It was a little bit jumbled, but I think I got it in order. If I didn't, please someone correct me.

The red X is mine - it's only repeated messages.

Read each of the 3 separate attachments from the bottom up. You'll get the gist, anyway. Bottom line is Paige got scammed.

I just wanted to say i cant wait till i move to florida to my new AF base so i can go help some of you find these people who d*ck you guys over...and kudos to the screen shot NINJA laura.
 
A reminder to Beth and Paige, file a police report and save the report number. I know David knows but Laura and Deborah may know as well how to file a internet fraud case too. Every avenue you can persue will help stop her and hopefully if they have 2 houses, get your money back. I am willing to go as far as you need me to go to help you do this. We need to stop this stuff from happening as much as we can. This person seems to have some assets and a permanent address there so it will be easy to take this to her local police station once your paper work is done and your local police can contact her police department for you too. There is alot that can be done but I would love to see her locked up and a police record for her.
 
Well, it is a start .. I contacted ever single site that was posted here so far ..

Craig, I've removed their profile and ad but unfortunately I can't block the IP because it's a legitimate IP used in Florida.

Thank you for your help keeping scammers off the site.
