• In the past two days I have gotten emails asking about being requested to provide credit card info in order to register and also to make a post in the classifieds forums. PLEASE NOTE: In no instance will this site ask you for this sort of information. The only time any request for payment is made is if you choose to opt-in for a higher membership level, and that is done SOLELY through PayPal. Anything else is coming from a source other than this site. My guess is that this is coming through Google Adsense, but when I can get someone to send me a screen shot of this sort of request, I will know more.
  • 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.

I sent a spinner, a pinstripe,and 2 norms. I don't have good pictures of the norms though.

I have not seen any pinstripe combos lately, I got a bit uneasy because we do have a local guy named Lance but he has never offered any pinstripe animals to the best of my knowledge...on top of that I have always heard great things about him.

Also, what does age have to do with anything? Is there a minor involved here?
 
yes but the response was "what is lance "or something like that. ill try again to get him. here are the pics also. these are the ones I sent

For the first time in over ten years, I can honestly say that I see a potential scammer in the making. The OP will go in one of two directions. Judging from his posts here
here, my guess is he will join the ranks of the red chicklet country club. Mark my words.

I don't know what im doing, I made a mistake, im trying to cooperate now, im an swearing questions. mark my words, I WILL NOT.
 
I sent Alex an email...but, I wouldn't be surprised if that account was created specifically to use with his registration.
 
Chris, he's being a little more forthcoming now, it may go a long way to chill out on him for a little bit.

Op, I just checked again and I do not see your snakes advertised anywhere in TN Craigslist, but I will keep an eye out. In the mean time I think you need to notify your local authorities and talk about your options.

Also for future reference, Ship your Reptiles is the way to go next time you are sending. I am 19, so I am likely just 3-4 years older than you.

Wow! Can you contradict yourself any more? Do you think this site is full of idiots like yourself? So let me get this straight, your dad said that you messed up, you have to fix it, yet he "offered the person money to ship back". Now I get it. My dad would have been more vigilant. Don't forget yo have daddy register here. Maybe he can get done what you can't. Unless the apple isn't falling far from the tree. Bring him here, as well as your business partner.

I told you, he is not coming. My dad AFTER offering to pay to have them shipped back, said you have to fix it yourself. Sorry I didn't clarify. I'm sorry your dad was like that, he doesn't want anything to do with snakes and reptiles. He said no he's not coming. Just so you won't ask me to clarify that, hen was angry and he knows I love the snakes, so he tried to get them back, his attempt failed so he said I have to fix it. but he hates that I have them. His choice not mine.
