• 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....

Be careful of any emails from a Greg Johnson @ [email protected] It's a scam.

He was on the edge, but the free shipping sealed the deal I'm sure.
Thanks for sharing Justin.
 
Been getting emails from "him" as well.
Anytime someone asks me for my "final price", and then willingly adds an additional $50.00 to it for no apparent reason, all signs point to "Scam".

Am paying by personal check or money order so i need your full name and address.I'll add $50 for keeping it in my favor.
 
Yeah he contacted me about purchasing an animal today wanting to use the exact same payment "method". Obvious Scammer set-up, but this is good information for those not familiar with payment scams like this. Definitely a scammer.
 
Greg Johnson

He tried with me too. Got him to send a check, sent 2750 for a 1200 dollar snake. Now he's assured me, without doubt, that the check cleared and would I please send him his extra 1500 back. I told him to come here and I'll give him the cash...along with his birthday present!

Then, just this morning, he sent me a new email, asking if the animal is still available, and that he would send me an extra 50 if I took the listing down and saved it for him - just like his first email. He's probably in Nigeria, judging by certain flags I see in his communications. But he doe's have a US cell number, which is unusual for these crooks to expose. Sure wish he'd come here to collect his money!
 
It is a text mail subscriber, just tried to call it. 765 722 2819
It's a dead end for sure, just wish the authorities would do something about these crooks
 
He says he'll add 50, but with me he added 1500, hoping I'd send him the money when his fake check bounced. It appeared to be a bank check, but
it's a fraud.
 
When I saw this thread I just had to add what I have experienced and found out regarding whole thing. Not only do you have to watch out for the name Greg Johnson but there is at least another name Wilson Gran being used and I can only assume even more yet unknown ones. I got the same email question from both senders, "Still up for sale? get back to me with the final price", just yesterday. So I became very suspicious and did a little ISP research on the email address for "each person" only to discover they both have the exact same ISP address. So both emails came through the same computer/router and one can assume both are one and the same person. I sent a little note back to "each" one of them with the attached email trail report showing the deed. Not gotten a response back and don't expect one. If you know where to look, depending on your email program you can find the detailed report of the path of the email along with all the identifying information. To make it easy, here is the ISP for these scamming emails. ISP#- 209.85.220.65 Also note that if someone has more than one router in their home or office the ISP#'s will be almost the same except for the last numbers. I also got an email today from "another person" with the ISP# 209.85.220.41 it maybe also the same person just a different router at same location though can't prove that. But the first 2 I gave with the same number is the same person one in the same. So hope this helps you all and be cautious it is amazing the extent folks will go for a scam.

Regards,

Steven
