• 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....

I have a "exporter" deal and need to know how to know if this is a scam or not and the best way to handle it.

1. He sent me pictures and videos of my name and the tortoise together.
2.He seems to be from a small continent in Africa.
3. He want to do this transaction through western union(suggestion on the best way to do this)?
4.He is shipping via "Chariot Transporters".
5.He has "exporting documents" so the sale is "legal".
6.This deal requires purchasing 5 or more tortoise.

Feedback??????
 
I don't know. But I'll say this. Western union is is the common scamming tool from Africa. Ask for American references. No references no go!!
 
I agree with Craig. If it looks and smells like poop, it's probably poop.
 
Sebastian, if you like, you can recreate the thread and copy your original post into the new thread, but the new thread needs to have the proper format. Put the identity of the party that is central to the topic in the title. This thread will be removed, but you will have the option to copy from it for a short period. If you do recreate the thread, I would be among those happy to talk to you further as time permits to draw out some additional details. Thank you.
