• 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.....

    Addendum: 01/10/2026
    =====================


    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....

We followed throughg on one

They buy whatever it is sight unseen then say they have a shipping agent. They are very polite. Next is the fact that they owe their shipping agent a great deal of money, usually thousands. They as if they may send the owner of the animal a Cashier's check for say $3500.00. They ask if you would cash this, keep what they owe you then give the rest to the driver/shipper when they arrive. Very trusting isn't it. Sounds like a little laundry service.

Nope. It's not even laundering. It's pure theft.

The cashier's check/money order is forged. The mark cashes the check, and gives the money to the buyer's "shipper." About a week later, the check comes back, and the person who cashed it is held liable for the amount.

No shipper ever arrives. They have you Western Union the money as soon as you cash the check.
 
In the last three months, I've received dozens of the same email for every animal I own.... about two weeks ago, I started sending them a three word reply....

("Go Fxxx Yourself")....

amazingly, I haven't received an email from them in 10 days....

And people say diplomacy doesn't work:D
 
Usually I see 2 or 3 from the same person and then nothing for a little while...then a few from someone else, which is probably the same people using yet another name. LOL!
 
That sucks I always wondered if the bank took the money out of your account and said your on your own to find them. I am starting not to trust paypal either. I have had a few people wanting to use credit cards threw them with these similar emails. I have heard they will take the money out of your bank account also and there is nothing you can do but try and catch the person.

Thanks, Tim Rash
 
Simple solution for credit cards:
1. photo copy front and back of card
2. Billing address
3. Photo copy of card holder picture I.D.
4. Bank card is issued from for varification.

You won't here from them again!
Works everytime.
