    =====================

    I am still waiting on my developer to finish up on the Classifieds Control Panel so I can use it to encourage members into becoming paying members. Google Adsense has become a real burden on the viewing of this site, but honestly it is the ONLY source of income now that keeps it afloat. I tried offering disabling the ads being viewed by paying members, but apparently that is not enough incentive. Quite frankly, Google Adsense has dropped down to where it barely brings in enough daily to match even a single paid member per day. But it still gets the bills paid. But at what cost?

    So even without the classifieds control panel being complete, I believe I am going to have to disable those Google ads completely and likely disable some options here that have been free since going to the new platform. Like classified ad bumping, member name changes, and anything else I can use to encourage this site to be supported by the members instead of the Google Adsense ads.

    But there is risk involved. I will not pay out of pocket for very long during this last ditch experimental effort. If I find that the membership does not want to support this site with memberships, then I cannot support your being able to post your classified ads here for free. No, I am not intending to start charging for your posting ads here. I will just shut the site down and that will be it. I will be done with FaunaClassifieds. I certainly don't need this, and can live the rest of my life just fine without it. If I see that no one else really wants it to survive neither, then so be it. It goes away and you all can just go elsewhere to advertise your animals and merchandise.

    Not sure when this will take place, and I don't intend to give any further warning concerning the disabling of the Google Adsense. Just as there probably won't be any warning if I decide to close down this site. You will just come here and there will be some sort of message that the site is gone, and you have a nice day.

    I have been trying to make a go of this site for a very long time. And quite frankly, I am just tired of trying. I had hoped that enough people would be willing to help me help you all have a free outlet to offer your stuff for sale. But every year I see less and less people coming to this site, much less supporting it financially. That is fine. I tried. I retired the SerpenCo business about 14 years ago, so retiring out of this business completely is not that big if a step for me, nor will it be especially painful to do. When I was in Thailand, I did not check in here for three weeks. I didn't miss it even a little bit. So if you all want it to remain, it will be in your hands. I really don't care either way.

    =====================
    Some people have indicated that finding the method to contribute is rather difficult. And I have to admit, that it is not all that obvious. So to help, here is a thread to help as a quide. How to become a contributing member of FaunaClassifieds.

    And for the record, I will be shutting down the Google Adsense ads on January 1, 2025.

These are all the same person. We had an agreement to do a trade. We were supposed to ship each others packages out on Wednesday for Thursday delivery. I gave him my tracking number and he gave me mine. I tried tracking it and it was a bogus number. He also gave me the wrong phone number and when he finally gave me the "real" number it didn't work. He had an excuse for that as well. Luckily I stopped the delivery of my package and it's being sent back to me. Thank you to FedEx for this. He tried telling me all this BS about it being a total mistake and to let the package get delivered and he would have mine out later today (yea right). I also found out he had been calling the FedEx station claiming to be me and trying to pick up the snake. They off course told him NO, thank god. He also emailed me saying he picked up the snake and thank you for it. Another lie. I found his email under feederbreeders on fauna but he claimed that it wasn't him. Funny thing is when I sent feederbreeders a message through fauna he replied and want do you know they have the same email address. He said his name is Michael Libby. But under feederbreeders he is calling himself Moland Harper. So which one is it. He is a conartist and a liar.
 
So......Michael Libby, is feedersbreeders, is Moland Harpers, isiluvmypets? :eek:

Mods, I'm thinking an IP check is in order on a couple of these guys in this mess.......please?
 
Ooops..I missed that. Thanks, Dennis.

So....the same guy that couldn't keep his Ball Python was trading it for something else, sold it and then tried to sell it again while the first check was in the mail...and was selling 80-some Beardies to someone else?

I gotta stop being trying to help these folks, I always seem to pick the weirdos to feel sorry for.
 
Yes

He was going to trade me 30 baby beards for an male albino boa. He said he's done a lot of business with Twin Cities reptiles and he is a reputable guy. Well he didn't honor his word with me about shipping out his animals so that isn't very reputable.
 
Makes sense.

I believe feedersbreeders had posted in the classifieds recently.

I glanced at the ad and thought it looked similar in syntax to iluvmypets.

Oh by the way Mike/Moland/Cybil.....Buh bye!:NoNo:
 
I'm so sorry Dennis.....

*offers a box of Kleenex*
 
Cybil........lol

That is to funny Dennis. I'm glad we have a place to warn individuals about people. It is very helpful. Thank you so much.

Don't worry everyone, there account was locked down from him trying to rip meon 119 dragons, this guy doesn't have an animal to my name. They are worse than the nigerian scammers. He is the worst scammer in the world, he catches himsrelf in every lie and makes up the wost allaby. He can at least be a good scammer, but this joke is just flat out wacked in all ways!! NICE TRY BUDDY!!!
 
Address

20 Oak Street Kimball, MN 55353.... Here is the phone number he gave me as well 320 300 4132 (doesn't work of course) I think someone should pay Mr. Libby, Mr. Moland, or Mr. Scam Artist a visit........
 
The info he gave did not even exist with the credit card, I got it from the trace numbers and everything from the manager at my bank when he printed it.
 
BY THE WAY, He never offered to come to my house and inspect anything, just demanded to get the free and do "approval" and got very mad when I busted him in a couple lies and told him no approval for you. He knew I lived in NY and he is in Minnesota, just lies and lies to justify himself. I would absolutely love him to swing by for a chat if anything lol.

I have lots of emails

I literally have 108 emails going back and forth with this ___ head!! One lie after another. He is such and idiot he can't remember his own lies from a conversation that took place hours earlier. Then when you catch him in it he has a BS excuse. I'm a firm believer in Karma and he'll get what is coming to him someday.
 
Hey Carl,

I AM WITH YOU ON THAT BRO! He is the DUMBEST scammer I have ever heard, HE IS SAYING THE FOLLOWING: I should be at your door in about 30 minutes, dont open it. lol, please come by, please!

Hey Carl,

He also has some pretty stupid insults, thats for sure. He called me a "Sand Nig*er", lol watch out for this guy!

Wow

Now that is totally uncalled for. What the hell is wrong with this guy. He needs to be stopped. Someone should send him a package and wait for him at the FedEx hub and nail him to the wall.
