• 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....

A giant thanks to everyone who's posted about this Dan Costello in PA being a scammer. I almost gave him $160. I'm posting this so that everyone knows he's still around and trying to scam.
 
I'm guessing that he emailed you directly, using the address you posted in the ad? Feel free to post his email address, PayPal account, phone number, etc - whatever information he may have provided to you.

fins feathers paws and claws is a legit pet store in the area.he has a store in harleysville and quakertown. Also his name is Tom, he is legit. Now I don't know if that Dan guy is trying to use that handle. I'm about 15 minutes from hatfield that's why I was questioning on his username.
 
haha no sweat Rober.
I don't know what toms username is from the actual store, but I have spoken to him before. I'm going to have to look into that. At least I believe it was him haha. let you know.

Has anyone ever been able to get a scammer prosecuted.

Yes. It all depends who is more determined, the victim or the scammer. A lot of talkers, much fewer are the actual doers.

Here is some information on Daniel Costello.
Youtube account: https://www.youtube.com/user/deczero05
Video of him: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vB9qUU9UIhk

Heavy BOI activity on him in 2009 time frame. Then things basically went quite. Now he is reappearing again. Guess where he appears to have gone? Joined the Army and went to Germany for a while. Back in the states, out of the army and back to his old tricks? Included is a picture of him in his younger years provided by other Fauna users. Video shows a heavier set version a couple years later.
