• 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....

Red flags went up the other day on this guy when he posted right after the guy with the stolen pics of the balls from Nerds website. He posted 2 minutes after him saying something along the lines like great service . I noticed that pic to and was trying to bait him on posting another also been trying to email since but I was in emails with the other guy and called him out. Figured they where the same person or know each other.
 
thankx

thanks Dragon lol for the look out I didnt know about this guy but of course I havnt been selling on fauna long.
yeah i would have to say this guy is a douch for stealing those pick curious as to hear the "WHY", but i am sure we will never know the conclusion.

he would have got away ith it had it not been for us meddling kids HAHAHA
 
Additional scams

Beware of him replying to any want adds. He claimed to have 2 hermann's tortoises for me, asked however for money by Western Union, refused Paypal. (Email [email protected])

Red flag! Don't ever buy from someone who requires money orders unless you KNOW them well. And always check the BOI on people. :p
 
Just wanted to bump this thread up he has been posting on want adds on his other screen name Ballzandboaz

Just reposting some info about this scammer.
Ken Harbart said:
Well, it's time to post some more info regarding my research into this tangled web...

In one of the ads that was posted and subsequently deleted by this person using the youngdeezy69 profile, a reply was posted by Yewaredrawlin, which is the same person as Boaznballz (he has not yet posted using that account) singing the praises of our confirmed con artist.

Rather than this possibly being the same individual, it seems to be more of a case of birds of a feather. Yewaredrawlin, aka Dan Costello, uses the handle deczero05 on AIM. Coincidentally, he happens to have a reputation as a scammer in some online poker communities. By the way folks... his profile here lists him as being 23, but he actually just turned 18 a few months ago. His Myspace account, which I managed to track down fairly easily is My Mind Be on This Paper [McF]. Heck, here's a pic that he put online of himself...

Minor in possession, anyone?

Not sure who s pic this is but you would think if he was going to send stolen pics he could at least steal the correct pics to send to someone when he’s trying to sell what there looking for. Anyone know who this 1 belongs to ??

Just wondering is there any way to report this scumbag for internet crimes ? Theres more then enough evidence for conspiracy to commit just from what he posted and pm he sent people on fauna..
 
Hey guys, I thank you all for catching this, I was a little weary about all his information being new.
Thanks
 
scam

he answered my ad for amazon tree boas with pictures of emerald tree boas, and then some stolen pics from carolina reptiles.the pics of the emeralds were so good, i knew it was from national geographic or something. he claims the emeralds had a clutch of 20 eggs last season...... eggs. good times.
 
scam

i notified carolina reptiles and he played with him a bit also, and said they were definitely his photos.
 
Here's a stupid question? Why hasn't he been banned yet? Why allow him to be here ripping money off from people? Am I missing something? :shrug01:
