    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....

Has any one ever been scamed by a FREE Corn snake E-mail?
This girl/lady wants me to send her $50.00 to ship me her Corn snake because she is joining the military. She said she found my post on the Corn Snake forum and blah,blah,blah
Her name is danielle
Her E-mail is [email protected]
My E-mail pulls Lyciana Cusack from the server
Does this sound fishy?
Any one have protection ideas?
 
I definately wouldn't send her $50.
But you could have it sent frieght collect. I'm not sure if all carriers have this option, but with some such as Airborne, you can elect to bill the receiver. In that case you will pay Airborne the shipping charges when they send you a bill a month or so later.
 
HI
I WOULD TELL HER TO GO AHEAD AND SHIP AND MARK ON THE SHIPPER SLIP TO BILL TO THE RECIEVER. THAT WAY SHES OUT NO CASH AND YOU'LL GET A INVOICE IN THE MAIL
IN A COUPLE OF WEEKS WITH THE ACTUAL SHIPPING COST,
WHICH SHOULDNT BE 50$.  IF SHE WONT DO THIS, WHICH ANYONE CAN, THEN SHES DEFINETLY SCAMMING!

HOPE THIS HELPS!
GOD BLESS

This person should not have any problems shipping the snake collect.

I just adopted a nice boa from a pretty reputable and nice guy.....he was not at all offended....and he did not mind at all when I said can you send it collect....  I just got the boa yesterday...

Shipping collect saved both parties headaches in my opinion....
 
Thanks for the ideas, I knew there had to be a safe way to do this! <img src="http://www.faunaclassifieds.com/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/wink.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=';)'>
