    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....

Anyone know this guy or have feedback on him? He has an ad on Kingsanke for a trio of bumblebee's for $650 shipped. Very similiar with not supplying a phone number like a few other scams here on Fauna. If you have any info please let me know.

I do think it is too good to be true. The snakes in the photos are hatchlings for sure. I emailed him about them and asked for updated photos. We'll see if he has any. Either way, I can't see how anyone would essentially do a 3 for 1 deal on bumblebees, especially ones that are so big already.
 
Here is the screen shots....

A trio of bees for the low asking price of one? I bet in 3-4 days we have a few here who fell for it.....

once you ask for the contact information. I sent a email to classified abuse at Kingsnake for them to look into. He strangely enough has a familiar mojave girl around 1200g too!

Sure that's not a problem but a verified contact number for you would be required before I send any money. You should understand that at least. Where in Texas are you located and what references do you have? Please let me know and give me a paypal address for you.

Thanks,
Craig

They are all perfectly helathy and eating on schedule! Live arrival, sex, and satisfaction (within reason) are all guaranteed. Unfortunately, though, I don't conduct business by phone - I like to keep a written record of all business transactions.

Thanks

I will take the trio if they are all healthy and eating and you guarantee live arrival. Let me know, you can reach me at 240-291-0620 if you want to discuss. I will not be available from 6-830p et tonight but anytime before or after is fine.

Thanks,
Craig
 
There is a Michael Moody who lives in Longview, TX. But I seriously doubt it's him. Most likely the same person that has pulled the last 3-4 scams like this.
 
Yeah, it stinks that this jerk is using my pics to try to rip people off. I reported it to KS, so hopefully the will suspend that account and he will lose the money it cost to set it up.

I will agree that those bees are spectacular though :)
 
I asked for a payment plan, he told me that he can do a payment plan, but I must send at least $200, really, thanks to Fauna I know where to buy, not to people like this.

As Garrick said, it was to good to be true.
 
I am in Texas and asked to pick them up in person, he told me he is too busy to meet, but could knock a few bucks off for shipping...mighty big of him.

I am pretty sure this is the CLewis dude again. I originally contacted Clewis about his Gost package and got almost verbatim answers to my questions for Moody.

Fortunately when dealing with Clewis the first time I went by the if it's too good to be true motto, same with this yahoo.

The worst part is there are probably 4-5 people who already sent money and think they got the deal of a lifetime.....:(
 
SCAMMER , this is the same guy that pulled a scam last week, if you remember CHRISTOPHER LEWIS, STAY AWAY FROM MOODY -AKA- CHRIS LEWIS, the adds on ks are the same ones he used last week, spread the word
 
I just posted a warning in ball pythons section to stay away from him with my account. Hopefully that will deter at least one person from getting suckered. I hate scumbags like this!!!

thanks
Jordan
 
After only a few minutes, it looks like I already kept one person from sending him money! Someone emailed me and told me thanks.
