• 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....

You'd likely have to file in MI. He posted the ads, received your goods, and sent you fake goods while in Michigan.

Generally, a law suit is filed wherever the victim lives ... although it could be filed in either location (the victim's or the offender's).
 
Excellent advice Deb.

My experience comes largely from an instate (MA) issue (not reptile related). We filed in the town where the incident happened, which is why I assumed he would file where the incident/crime took place in the event he wanted to elevate it from a civil case to bringing criminal fraud charges.

Again, excellent call.

California could be "funny" and tell you that you have to go to Michigan in order to file a suit. However, this is not so (~if~ this is told to you). You can (or should be able to) file a suit, local to you, and it would be up to Chris to make it there. If he does not go, he could get a default judgment against him (where you win).
If a Default Judgment is given (or you receive a different judgment in your favor), you have to, then, contact Chris's local court and file (with a filing fee) for them to accept a foreign judgment ... where they can/will, then, enforce the judgment, that was given in California, if they accept it.

That sounds promising!
