    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....

CASA REPTILIA Ltd.. Scam?? or actual dealer ????

Over a year and a half ago I got the same message. I tried it out and here is what happened. I will post some of the emails. Everything was going good. I had never imported before so i did not know how everything worked.
Any way. i wanted ball pythons. I asked for pictures and references. i got both. The references that i got came from a person named John Larry . Also Later after it all happened i found out the pics came from Roussis Reptiles collection.

Here is the message that pretty much told me this is a scam...

I told him that I sent the money and I want the snakes. I also said that if i could get the snakes I wanted my money back. He said that he spent the money on GTP, but those to went wrong so he lost all the money. He guarenteed live arival so I said I don't care. I email him about every day to annoy him to send me my money back. He replies once and a while to say that he is working on it but as of now I haven't gotten anything. If you want to see more emails please let me know.

As of now I am still looking for importers. If you know of any good ones or want to warn me about bad ones please let me know. I will help any one out as much as I can as well.
Thank you for your time.

If I'm not mistaken that's not the name of the owner of the "original" Class Reptilia. I'm away from my computer now so I can't verify it. I bought from them a couple of years ago and were great to deal with.

Regards,
 
This guy from cameroon scams all over the place. Different names, different emails, different animals, but heck.. how many people from Cameroon are looking to export animals? I was looking for an English bulldog for a while.. I emailed around 6 different people who all turned out to be the dude from Cameroon.
 
Sorry, I got my names confused. I have no idea who Casa Reptilia is I was thinking about "Class Reptilia.

Thanks.
 
Here is what I'd do

If your interested in prooving him a scammer (like you need to at this point) tell him Kimbi or whatever his name would like to talk to him, and give him an anonymous email address you set up prior, and take it from there. try to Get them to get in together on the scam, and take this dumb American for all his money LOL.. That would be ammusing to see how scammers talk to each other about the people they rip off.. Would also be pretty funny if Kimbi took a beating for out scamming his neighbor scammer :raspberry .
