• In the past two days I have gotten emails asking about being requested to provide credit card info in order to register and also to make a post in the classifieds forums. PLEASE NOTE: In no instance will this site ask you for this sort of information. The only time any request for payment is made is if you choose to opt-in for a higher membership level, and that is done SOLELY through PayPal. Anything else is coming from a source other than this site. My guess is that this is coming through Google Adsense, but when I can get someone to send me a screen shot of this sort of request, I will know more.

    **************************************************
    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.

How do you report a scam?

Hi. I tried to find an admin contact but was unsuccessful. I want to report a user that contacted me about selling lizards who I quickly figured out was a scam. I am not sure if this post is going public but the user is Andy77. He sent me a private message with his phone number. I reached out to him but soon realized that something was not right. He had just registered the same day and did not have any posts. His profile said he was in California and his name was Andy but when we spoke he lives in Florida and his name is Bill. He told me that he was a moderator at Morph Market. I searched the site and could not find anything.
 
All we do here is enforce the rules of the site. That is it. How people engage in business is between the parties involved, and is really none of or business nor responsibility. We are not law enforcement, private investigators, nor social justice warriors. Anything anyone tells us about such things will be merely unsubstantiated hearsay.

My advice (and this is ONLY my personal advice) is that if you have ANY doubts whatsoever about someone soliciting business from you, then simply decline the offer and move on. Same goes for any ads you see placed here. You need to use your own best judgement about who you do business with. We are not going to provide any guidance or hand holding for you. This site is here simply to allow anyone interested to post ads, and respond to such ads that they may be interested in. Someone posting here is not a confirmation that they are worthy of your business. Someone contacting you through this site is similarly not any sort of guarantee that they have been vetted in any manner whatsoever concerning honesty, accuracy of identity, nor integrity in the way they do business. We do try to weed out obvious scammers and spammers using false IDs, but this voluntary attempt does not guarantee that we catch them all, nor imply that we are obligated to do so.
