• 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.

    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....

I've been exchanging emails with a man that I met through trade holdings and he has seemed legit, but he has a few things that I question. He says he has Albino Iguana's and I was fairly certain that Tom Crutchfield and a few others were the only breeders of these and I don't really think they would be exported at the prices he is advertising.

So I was just wondering if anyone has heard of this guy.

That is what he sent me to contact him. Is this another scammer? Or has anyone heard of this exporter from Cameroon?
 
Does he have a web site.Is he offering any African animals.My frist thought is SCAM all the way.Contact T.C. to see if he knows of this person as he would know anybody else selling albino iggs..Do you have a price list that we can see. Ron
 
I was first sent something with a lot more animals on it all with reasonable prices, but this is what I was sent that made me question him.

I have decided that he is more than likely a scammer, but if anyone has done business with him (having animals exported to them) I may change my mind.

Also, I don't think he has a website. I got his information through a trade holdings website that links to a bunch of importers / exporters for different items.
 
Go to Toms web site and check out the photos.Tom has the same photo but this guy has enlarge it.Check out the back ground of the photo,If it's to good to be true than it's not.Ron
 
Ya I just looked and noticed that as well. I've sent him an email asking if he knows of him and told him about the image I was sent.
 
Confirmed by Tom to be a scam and that the picture was taken in his yard and the guy has no right to the images.
 
The BOI is great.Another scammer is identified.Please check out anyone you do business with.Rich has a great thing going here,people use it.Reptiler Ron
