    **************************************************
    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....

Brandi, that doesn't meant you can't try. Maybe the police will actually do something like search his home and, if they do find something, arrest him. I'm just saying, though, the OP could do anything she wants. She might want to do something or leave it at that.
Cat, the proof I was talking about is the e-mail. If he wants do give those things that means he has them.
Maybe not the best proof out there, but, who knows.
 
The police can't just walk in and search his home. They have to have (and so far, they do not) have proof that he is in fact the person that posted, that there is probable cause that he in fact has the items mentioned, AND that the items are in fact IN his home NOW.
 
Thanks

My friend e-mailed this guy about some baby beardies that she might be rehoming and he said that he has a waiting list.....scary stuff.....Sad that people need to rip off other herpers like that :(
 
If it was a cop, I think they'd be smart enough to feel a person out first, not pop out of no where a trade for pot.

is it possible this person is a cop, and they often set people up like this?

No it is not. It would entrapment if presented this way.
 
I got this today

I don't know if this should be here, But I found it odd that he asked me about an add I had. I have attached both emails. Is the norm or is it a scam? I told him I did not want to do this at all. What do you guys make of this??

Thanks
Tom

Yes, you ship on consignment, we sell during the show and either we buy whatever is left over after the show personally, or we send it back on our buck if not.

Yes, This is someone you do NOT want to do business with in my opinion. Scamming people, offering pot and false medical cards as payment..whats next?
 
re

its been a while since i've ben on this board,just reading this about mr chris.
I had dealing with this dude a few years back,got a gtp off him,the dude is off his head on drugs,i paid $600 for the snake,he told me it was trooper walsh blood line,so i jumped on it to make a long story short ,he comes to my place with the snake,i taled to him for a few days before getting the snake he seem cool,so the day came for the snake,he comes with it off his head on drugs,said he forgot the paper work for the snake and he would bring it later.
i rang him emailed him,never heard from the dick again,
this dude is bad,dont have anything to do with him,he will fill you fullof shit telling you he ships reptiles all over the world,
 
What do you mean, off his head on drugs? How was he acting? I haven't dealt with people who have been involved with drugs, so was curious as to what his behavior was like that made you think that.

Do you have any emails from your conversations? The more detail, the better to help make sure this guy doesn't rip others off.
 
Since "Budgie" gives his real name as John Smith and his location as the BOI, I would be hard pressed to lend a lot of credence to anything he says. If he is not willing to put his true name to his statements, They carry little weight as far as I am concerned.

Nope, John Smith isn't even close.

Joseph, your real first name is required on the BOI. Please add it to your posts.
