    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....

Info Maria Smith, username Maria Smith

I think I know where she got the Smith alias. On her facebook page, which I connected to through a ball python group we belong to, she has a link to a page that raises money, by donation, for a wedding. Supposedly her fiance is a Mike Smith. I would imagine that if Mike Smith really exists, the description of Marie, or Maria, whichever, is probably his family member. So sad. Hopefully if her aliases is based on a real person I hope the fauna and email are the only things she created in their name.

Yeah, some noticed that along with her changing her facebook page from
Elizabeth Minton to "Lizzie Marie" = "Marie Smith"

This morning it seems to be down.

Didn't see the part about raising donations for a wedding.

Who raises donations for their wedding from the public? What kind of person thinks someone should donate to them so they can get married? With so many people with real need just tells everyone more about her.

What a great foundation to a stable family life. She's nothing more than a drain on the public.

That's a link to her facebook page that was associated with our group. If you flip through her photos you'll actually see one of her standing, and holding a child. Pretty amazing for someone that had their legs crushed bad enough to be in disability. Not only that but she states her fiance and her live off food stamps, and things sold on craigslist, no mention of disability.
 
Can't find the screenshot at the moment, but she was on craigslist not long ago begging for free antibiotics for a sick kitten, who later died in her care. She's on there all the time, no shame in what she's doing.

She runs a cat "rescue" now (guess the rat rescue isn't making enough cash), and clearly admits they've had a wave of distemper deaths come through. What kind of legitimate rescue brings animals in that they can't afford to truly care for?

She's re-posting the page asking for $3000 in donations for their valentine's day wedding, daily on her facebook page. Littered throughout were comments about how they had no money for food. But she's on the boards looking to buy animals? Someone's priorities are way outta whack.

She does not have custody of her child. I'm not exactly sure on the details.

Her "Liberty Massage" business was shut down when she was reported to the state for not having proper licenses. The descriptions on the website which has now been pulled down were enough to make it clear what she was really doing in her apartment, pregnant and dressed in lingerie. Government agencies have been out there before, prompted by folks from the rat rescue boards, about her animal situation and she starts everything right back up.

I've been saying it for a while now, and I stick to it. This girl is seriously mentally ill. I hope somehow, she's able to get some of the help she needs.

Has there even been mention by her of giving back the snake she knows she has without having paid for it?
 
There was mention of her trying to make it right with Dale, in the group, through a 3rd party. Dale would probably have more details. I hope for him that she does, but I have my doubts from everything I've read.

In my poking around on her facebook page she mentions that she has zero work history. But in another fauna thread: http://www.faunaclassifieds.com/forums/showthread.php?t=210027 she states she worked for the company she was complaining about.
 
She has done nothing - and at this point I'm not expecting anything. I will let the world know if she does, but based on her actions so far and the lies she has told, I doubt she will.

I do wonder if she has scammed other people using the same process and they just haven't stepped forward or don't know about her history.
