    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.....

    =====================


    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....

He can still bring it up since both parties involved may come under scrutiny (which can be typical).

I posted on this BOI to warn others of this scammer. Bringing my location up is suspicious. Sounds like he knows I have all the proof, but still wants to chime in on the other parties behalf. I've seen plenty of people defend the scammer on many occasions. His comment is a red flag.

That seems like quite a stretch, but suit yourself.

I agree with Nick 100% here, if you read through a lot of other BOI threads you will see the question of legailty due to location brought up numerous times. To say it has nothing to do with the thread at hand is ludicrous and getting snipy with your potential supporters is a sure path to self destruction imho.

My location has nothing to do with the thread. This thread was started by me to make people aware of this scammer. Nothing more nothing less. I'm not here for support. I'm here to make people aware. The proof is there. Whether people believe me or not is completely on them, but as far as me responding to this post anymore its a wrap! I'm done! I see where this is going. To those who read this just beware of Manny Frade. He is a scammer!

Maybe I'm just getting easily confused in my old age, but I could swear that your location was listed as Queens, NY yesterday. If someone mentioning your location is "suspicious," you choosing to change it seems doubly so.

No one is arguing that Manny Frade isn't a thief, fraud, scammer, etc. What is being pointed out is that he does have a fan club, and there are people who would happily rat you out to the authorities to protect him if you aren't allowed to possess those snakes.

Now that said, those people wouldn't post warnings here on Fauna, they would just blab to the authorities.

I know, but sadly for them my animals aren't kept in NY for that reason. My partner and I house them at his facility where it is legal to own them. Sorry to bust their bubble.
 
That is why I keep saying this thread has nothing to do with location. Lol!

I'm with Hector on this one - his location and whether or not he is allowed to keep his animals there is not relevant to the transaction.

Thank you! Hopefully they won't start coming at you now for saying something.

BOI threads aren't about any one specific transaction. It's been obvious for years just who and what Manny Frade is; that doesn't mean that people may not have some real issues with someone illegally keeping animals that aren't allowed in his location. I know he said they're not with him in NYC; but that's just an awfully convenient statement to make 18 hours after the issue was first brought up - after apparently obscuring his location for some inexplicable reason.
 
I get that, but I've seen too many issues get diverted away from the main point by intense discussions on what I see as side tracks.

I think it's all too easy to jump on the person who IS actively taking part and let the main protaganist, who may not be taking such an active part (in this case Manny) slide out of the focus of the discussion.

He's answered the point about his location and I just don't see it as relevant to this issue.

Anyway, that's my two-penn'orth, (or to you guys two cents I suppose :eek: ), so I'm shutting up now, as I have nothing helpful to add to the initial subject of the thread,
