    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....

Bad Guy Garret Smith ( Scammer )

Take him to court. I'm sure a judge would rule in your favor! Make sure when he does that you ask him to make Garret pay all of your court fees too!
 
Michael,
Seen any paper work?

Also, he states in a text to you, and I quote "Everyone? Your two friends? LOl. I've sold more this month than I ever have. Many happy customers."

Has he attempted pay you with all the money he's made, on the best month of sales he's ever had??

Best of luck Micheal!

Hey Garrett, since you're online right now and kindly attempted to leave me some more negative karma for yet another completely unrelated post, how about you give us an update on refunding the $500 you owe Michael for a product you never delivered?
 
Dont hold your breath Vanessa. Garrett's passive aggressive attemps at bullying those who put a spot light on who he really is shows how much of a low-life he really is. Its pretty pathetic to watch a grown man conduct himself in such a manor. Funny how Garrett claims to have dozens of satisfied customers yet NONE have come to his defense. You can see how people who have had to deal with Garrett feel the need to explain in explict detail that Garrett was pretty much their ONLY option for importing their animals from Markus. Lol, infact recently you can see were a guy tried as hard as he could to NOT have to admit that he dealt with Garrett Smith as a middle man, nor did he offer Garrett any thanks or props after the animals were received!!! Here is that link...http://www.faunaclassifieds.com/forums/showthread.php?t=542313
I cannot believe some of the screen shots that Mike has posted on here. I think that most judges in California(especially California) would VOID any contract based on Garrett Smith's acts of cyber bulling, libel, fraud, and defamation. Just because someone has a written contract does not mean they have to put up with said types of abuse. Oh and Garrett, please make sure we can see the dates on any "proof" you decide to post. I for one will bumping this post to the top of the screen as long as you have for sale ads up on this site.

Garrett,
You DON'T know me from Adam, and you NEVER will.

As far as Mike, I've talked to him by phone over the past 5 to 6 years when he calls for availability of reptiles, and I've posted on your BOI asking Mike a question or 2, so does that make us friends? I think not. But that doesn't mean I wouldn't be his friend.

I've taken the time with your BOI, as I do with most BOI posts that involve a scam, to follow and see if the one being scammed is made whole. Because when any one goes around scamming good trusting folks, it gives the rest of us, HONEST breeders/keepers/dealers/hobbyists, in this great industry a "BLACK EYE".

I don't have to comment & stir things up, you've done a GREAT job of that all by yourself.

I don't give a rats behind, what you think, do, or say, you mean absolutely nothing to me, in addition you wouldn't make a pimple on the behinds of the folks I deal with.

Besides, there's no room for the likes of you in my sandbox, anyway.

Hello Hillary,

I see that you are currently sending Lynn "Big time reptiles" a private message. and are friends with another person that commented on this BOI and by your comments It doesn't seem like you truly read through this BOI. If you are interested in the sungazers like you state. I can notify you when they come in, if we agree on a price, I will send them to you without you paying a single penny.

If you like them and the paperwork checks out. Then you pay me. You can PM, email [email protected] or text me at 530-801-1631 with any further questions on them.

To anyone redding this false claim of me being a scammer:

I have a lot of stuff up for sale now and am bringing in some great animals within the next few weeks. If you mention this BOI to me, I will give you free shipping. Just text or email shipping code "false BOI"

Cheers
Garrett

...because stalking my activity and questioning my judgement after reading a BOI is a great way to get a sale.

Thanks but no thanks.

Yep dots connected: False BOI by Mike Rodriguez + Mikes friend Lynn Peterson making stupid comments + Hillary Kotilainen making comments about something that se was never interested in + Private messaging Lynn Peterson friend of Mike Rodriguez who started the False BOI. DOTS CONNECTED :rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl:
 
How is this in any way false? You still have thousands of dollars of your customers money, treat him with no respect yet offer no timetable for resolution, and in the wash it came out that you were indicted by the federal government on 21 counts, including wildlife smuggling and money laundering.

Were the feds in league with Lynn Peterson and all these other people too?!

False BOI:shootfoot? Lets reflect Garrett, Michael sends you $6500 back in January, he never received the animals he paid for, here it is September, NO animals, NO money, who in their right mind wouldn't call that a scam?, I know, I know, YOU, you're the ONLY ONE who doesn't think it's a scam, talk about making stupid comments, you are the KING of stupid comments & actions.:yesnod:

You can call it "connecting the dots" or what ever trips your trigger, but let me assure you, everyone reading this BOI, knows what you've really done, and it's a far cry from what you call it.

You REALLY need to get a life, and while you're at it, PAY those you owe.

Just my opinion.:thumbsup:
