• 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....

I am going to say that true scams have a tendency to originate here or facebook. Not a bad shipper, or bad business, or bad guy. I am talking about a true scam. Send your money and never get what you paid for scam. It would be interesting to see just how many of these like this one actually originated from fauna.

I am so interested that I am going to go through the BOI and check. Thanks

I think this would be a good topic for the feedback forum:

I would be interested in your findings and have some thoughts on this as well. If you want to share, please start a thread there


Let's keep this one focused on the specific business of "Josh Reese's" deals.
thank you
 
They got me a couple of days ago. I sent money for the female ackie 300 shipped to this person via PayPal. As soon as they received the money they deleted the add. I contacted PayPal since I this thread got my attention. Since it is tied to my checking account I had to go to my bank about it. They told me the purchase is processing and I'll have to wait until the next day to file a claim. People like this really anger me and make it hard to trust others.

Make sure that you call Paypal and/ or that they understand its a three way scam.. You should be able to get your money back. They've been very understanding and helpful.

Its funny to me how most of these scams originated from FaunaClassifieds to begin with. I bet if Fauna charged people a small fee ( maybe a buck a month ) to post ads that a lot of these scams would be eliminated.

Just my .02

Well, the problem with FREE classifieds is that it is difficult to control who gets to use them.
Before your time, there was a period in which paid membership was required to post in the classifieds. If it had gone well, that would likely still be in effect.

Also, most of them don't "originate" here - they simply land here for a while. Actually looking into them - which I've done a lot of, over the years - that becomes obvious.
 
Trying his luck with the blue tongue on facebook.

Nick, out of curiosity, how were you able to confirm this was an alias? IP?
