    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....

1. No paypal account
2. Won't give me his/her address and phone number
3. Pics of scorpions seemed to have been borrowed from google images.
4. Price of scorpions plus shipping does not add up.
5. Somewhat has urgency for me to send money.
6. Contacted me via email and not through faunaclassifieds personal message.


Hello Jason,
Would you like me to send the package today?
I can send a package with male and female australis tonight by FedEx
You will have my full address and phone # from the package cos package
will be delivered tomorrow as I would be using overnight shipping
service.

I am asking 100.00 for the male and female, shipping included.

I have no PayPal. How else can you make payment?

Please let me also have your address.

Thanks
Megan

Possibly more proof from tarantulaforum.com
"Megan's" profile says she is a "he" and members of that forum are suspicious as well...
