• 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.
  • 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.

Any body have any dealings with CLARA WILSON,she wanted to pay for my LEOPARD TORTOISE ($2,500) via cashiers check and because she or he is such a swell individual there would be an extra $50 for me,something smells in Denmark, a fauna individual posted a warning to stay away,thanks buddy! HAD a similar scam a few years ago. A cashier check should trigger your spider sense! PAYPAL is protection, This scam is popular in Nigeria or the 3rd world. I APOLOGIZE for not listing the subjects name in my prior listing.
