• 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....

Anyone heard of DORIMAT2000???

anyone heard of

Hello I am wondering if anyone has heard of this [email protected]...I believe they tried to scam me? I cant get a name or where they are from...but wanted me to send 1050.00 for leopard geckos but wouldnt tell what I would get for that amount of money, I asked for pictures but they never even sent them... I have the emails but do not know how to post them so if anyone wants to see them I can email them to you and you can post them....I also inquired about het ball pythons..and they referred me to their friend..who I found out is in NIGERIA......This DORIMAT sent me threatning emails... Thank You If any could help..thanks..

Tom,

With all do respect, I hope that you didn't send money. You never said you did.
What I believe chuck's little piece of art was supposed to portray to you is, that there is not just one red flag in your post but multiple.
Should you ever send 1050 dollars to someone you dont know, someone that has an anonymous email address, and for something you dont even know you are getting????
UMMMMMMM Nope.
Should you ever even consider a deal with a nigerian?????
UMMMMMMM Nope. (I am sure that there is at least one nice respectable Nigerian on this planet.....although I am quite sure I never met him/her)

In other words, please please do not send money to these people. If they had any reputation at all in the industry you would have received pics, prices, animals, etc.....


Just out of curiosity, did you find them and approach them, or did they approach you?

TOM
 
hmmmm

Well the good news is I didnt send any thing to them....For the reasons you stated...I had an add on reptile classifieds for female geckos....and they approached me......But all I have is their email address, I did a look up on yahoo and found nothing!!!I believe they are scammers!!! So if nothing else..Their names have been posted for all to see....
 
sorry

Sorry I forgot to post my name......on the last one

First of all, this thread will most likely be deleted and warning points given to the originator since the rules for posting on the BOI were not followed. You need to put the person and or business name you are inquiring about in the subject line not "anyone heard of". :bandhead0

Second, if your name is posted to the left then you do not have to put it at the end of your post.
 
dand

I am very sorry for missing that part of the rules...I have never posted here before..Is there a way to change that heading?

Send a PM to WebSlave and ask if he will edit it for you or if he will open it for you to edit. Be specific with how it *should* have read so he can do it easily.
 
Thanks

Thank You Jim I have what you have said...It was an honest mistake...Thanks Again
