• 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.

    **************************************************
    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'm only making this thread because I was posting in the ads(consider this a big hint to those of you that enjoy doing hit & run posts in the classifieds - follow through...THIS is the place to be posting, not there).

Tillery registered yesterday (more on that later). Today, "she" posted an ad for marmosets. No pictures in the ad; but I found them in account's gallery. I'd seen 2 of the 3 in many scam ads; but I did the requisite search anyway. Those two images each had 10 pages of matches, the majority of which were scam ads showing locations across the US and around the globe. I think I know the origins of all 3 images...but the site currently showing them has a copyright statement of 2015 (though I found references dating back at least a few years). Either way, I'm not posting that information because my goal is not to provide advertising for him. Let it suffice to say that Tillery posted common internet photos in "her" gallery here, and her ad is a word for word match (excluding, perhaps, the price - I didn't pay attention to that) for many obvious scam ads. (I believe that the ad was taken piecemeal from the source of the images).

Just to add a bit of interesting coincidence, Tillery was registered on the same day, and from the same IP address, as Petfarmer. Petfarmer posted an ad for African greys yesterday. Again, no images...but that ad included a phone number. A search of that phone number revealed a variety of ads, with numerous locations shown. Parrots, puppies, and some pharmaceuticals...I think there were even a few for marmosets. The email shown also led to a second phone number, which was listed in many more pages of (scam) ads.

I'd advise anybody considering dealing with either of them to use due diligence before sending payment.
 
Please note - generally, BOI threads should only include one name in the title, and the content should be restricted to that person. I chose to lump both of these together because they were both registered from the same IP address on the same day. While it isn't guaranteed, it does give some credence to the idea that the accounts were registered by the same person. In any event, they're pretty clearly scam ads; and it is highly unlikely that either of them will ever post here again.
I anticipate banning both accounts for failure to confirm their identities.
 
I made an error in my original post...
While Tillery's registration IP address was a match with Petfarmer, it was not the same address from which he registered. Still, it is a provider from which I have yet to notice duplications; so it is still suggestive/suspicious, IMO. Either way, I look forward to receiving confirmation of either of their identities - which I will happily post here upon receipt. (To be clear, that means I will post a statement confirming that I have received the proof...I will NOT be posting the ID)
