    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.

    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....

Bad Guy coldbloodedreptilelover ripped me off and is selling the snake i sent him!!!!

All I can say is Wow... Dylan I'm sorry you got taken by this scam artist.. I might be able to help you out though. I believe I might know who this scam artist is as I live in fall river Ma. If this is the same guy I'm thinking of he was trying to sell a dwarf tiger albino retic and it was never a dwarf.

This is the funny part, I actually DO work for the Fall River Police Department and I highly doubt the Chief is his uncle but I will check any way. Also there are no reptile specific stores in this city and I know all of them. I can also safely say he doesn't live in Boston and does live in this city. IF you can pm me any info you have for mark I.E address, names, phone numbers ect... I will see what I can do.. I also have a friend that I believe is also looking for this scammer so I'm sure he be willing to help....

Mark I hope you read this... You best return his animal or money for the animal before I show up at your door with some of my fellow coworkers... It will not be good for you..:NoNo:
 
He just emailed me and offered me a snow boa. What's ur guys/girls thoughts on that. I turned the offer.

Be careful. This might just be a stall tactic. He'll wait a week to ship, say it died, he's working on getting another one... blah blah blah. He'll just stall until the heat is off or until you gradually fade away at going after him.

Thanks Patrick!! I knew someone had to be in that area that could help!

First off your word doesn't count for anything. You are obviously lying about not recieving the package but... Wether that package actually arived or not THAT IS ON YOU. If the package tracking says that package was delivered than tough :censored: send dude what you owe him. Your "buddy" should have been there at the door ready to accept the package you have no excuse here.

:iagree: im right there with you cody. HAHAHA mark you not smart. You've obviously been caught! There are pictures at the beginning of the post that show the snake and they match perfectly. I have even seen the snake in person and know what she looks like. And my two other friends have seen it in person also. We no you have the snake.END OF STORY. Now you better send Dylan something or you not gonna wake up happy one of these days in the near future. Lets just say that. Oh and P.S. No one is gonna give a crap about that good guy report. Looks like your sales on fauna might just be over. And you can create a new account but as soon as you give someone your contact info they are gonna no exactly who you are. Just sayin "BRO"!
 
not sure if this is the same guy or not but i was just browsing another boi when i saw someone using some pretty foul language that was banned and the name instantly through up a red flag. Idk if its just a spammer using the same name or if its actually the same guy as the culprit of this thread. Idk how to do an IP check or anything but if someone could maybe look into it. If it is the same guy it just shows they type of character this person has that much more.

Not related to this thread. Same name, different person. Actually that person wasn't using his real name anyway. Part of the reason he isn't here anymore. Besides his outbursts of-course.
 
Wow...not only a scammer, but one slime ball of one to take advantage of a kid. How sad and pathetic is there? Disgusting...

Mark, going to grow a pair anytime soon and give this kid his snake back? Better yet, send him money for it, because who knows what is crawling around in your collection.

Dylan, I'm sorry you are having to deal with this pathetic excuse for a human being. I hope this gets rectified, and quickly. I hope you learn to look for those red flags from now on. I suggest being sure your parents help to handle any business you do, especially over the internet, to help keep you from being scammed like this.
 
Why is it that so many posters are seemingly incapable in writing properly (grammar, punctuation, capitalization... a semblance of a sentence)? I don't understand why people write in a way which makes it nearly impossible to read.
 
hahaha Why do it matter to ya. It ain't got nothing to do with ya. LOL. It ain't a big deal and as far as i'm concerned don't no body talk "porperly" today. If ya really think bout it. Hhahaha I do speak correctly when im at school though and when im talking to my parents!
 
Just throwing out a quick reminder to refrain from the name calling...
Dirtbag, slimeball, piece of crap, and other derogatory terms are unnecessarily abusive (remember, we're trying for a more professional atmosphere)
 
scammer/thief in fall river

I know him personlly and actually had the snake in my hands. he told me he got it shipped to him in a trade. And it's not being taken care of properly. Might be getting uri.

It was shipped to in a trade but he never shipped me my stuff. And was he not taking care of it properly? Or was I? Do u think u can convince him to do the right thing and send me my snake back?

Joncharles, I respect your right to speak and type any way you wish. At the same time, please understand that this is Fauna, not your Facebook page. Some people use this site to build/ enhance their business and livelihood. As such, they tend to present themselves a bit more formally than you might talk to your best friend. What I quoted above, to me, is like showing up to the bank for a loan while you are saggin' your pants below your :censored: . It's no way to present yourself in a professional manner, and may actually work against you. When I read what Mark wrote above, the opinion of him was partially based on his inability/ unwillingness to communicate properly.

You came here to defend Dylan, right? I am pretty sure the majority of people here feel that he got screwed and there may actually be some people here who can help him. He could use all the help he can get, don't you think?

If so, then you owe it to him to communicate your thoughts as clearly as you can. As this is a business forum, many of us are old and would prefer to read things that don't make our eyeballs bleed. Show up for all your job interviews in shorts, flip-flops, and an "I love boobies" t-shirt if you don't get what I am trying to say. It may be harsh and unfair, but we are still judged based on the way we present ourselves.
 
Dylan, if that snake has developed RI, you don't want it back. Just go for the money, and any legal action you can take

Well that snake was my favorite snake I ever owned. It was very very very tame and I love the way she looks:) I wouldn't mine cash though lol. He's probably not going to send me anything at all though so I don't want to get my hopes up again because in the end he will crush them again. I don't want that to sound cheesy, kuz it sounds like it. But it's the truth.

HAHA yea sorry rob. And yes I do realize that he needs all the help he can get. haha and I don't talk to anyone like it was just a joke. Fauna is a very great website! And I don't think that its unfair, I totally understand what your saying, and I will respect what you just said!
