    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....

No problemo :)

Just need to know where to look, truth be told I have alot of links saved in IE and if I've seen those photos before chances are I had the originating web pages saved. I simply went through my bookmarks one by one.....

Here is his member info, no posts but I did find a reply or two of his in the classifieds section here when I googled the user name.

Here is the link to the classified ad in question, he marked it sold and removed the photo(s). Perhaps if you ask Rich there may be a way to bring up what was there?

and here is a link to another of his ads... a proven Albino Burmese Female Het For Granite for $175.

Now I KNOW I've seen that photo before as well, but I'm not a burm fan. I'll give someone else a shot at tracking that one down :)
 
I just got off the phone with Mark Mandic from Markus Jayne Ball Pythons (ballpython.ca), and he just wanted to confirm that the second photo is indeed his, and that it was stolen directly off of his website without his permission. He is unable to post here, and also wanted to make sure that I thanked everyone (especially Chris) here on Fauna for looking out for him.
 
TopShelf- thanks for posting the ad. :)

Ah ha ha! BUSTED! I'd love to see what he has to say... (though it doesn't appear that anything would make the situation any better.)
 
Just to make future searches here in regard to this scamming clown more productive, I will ad this: Joshua Lee aka: gj_snakemaster, you are have been officially busted as yet another pathetic scammer. Way to go!
 
"He also has it posted here:

http://www.reptilemarket.com/cgi-bi...&query=category

Ad #8070 on ReptiMart, ball python section."

Wow, this guy is a nasty little pest isn't he! He is saying it is a 1.5 year old, 3 ft. FEMALE, When it is actually a 5+ year old male that has been in Scott's collection since 2000.

Here is what Scott sent me: "Hi Thanks for the info. Here is an updated picture of the first one on that post He is one of our first (males) we got back in "2000" and has been here as one of our breeders ever sense. He was just a sub-adult in the picture on the forum. Hope this will help. Thanks Scott"

The following pics are current pics that he sent me of the first snake snake in the ad. I have Notified the administration at ReptileMart just in case it has not been done already.

Ah, that was good thinking Chris! Now it is preserved here forever, and Mr. Scammer Joshua Lee has no way to deny what he has attempted to pull. Actually, he may have already collected money from one or more victims. I really hope they pull that ad fast. Can he be banned from here since he is diong it here as well?
 
Well I did link Rich to this thread hoping he may be able to pull information from the ad this scammer ripped down and marked 'sold', and hopefully shine some more light on his origin, email address, etc.

Hopefully he may take the time to read this thread as well and ban this sorry peice of crap! :)
 
OK Guys! Awesome work. Way to GO TOP SHELF!!!!!

ANYONE HE STOLE PICTURES FROM PLEASE CONTACT ME AS I HAVE HIS full ADDRESS FOR YOU TO PRESS CHARGES OF WHAT EVER YOU WANT TO DO!! ALTHOUGH I WILL NOT POST HIS FULL ADDRESS HERE. full

His name he went by "Gus Jacobson", In joshua tree, CA, 92252. His email was [email protected] .

He even opened a pay-pal account for me to pay him. Although should I contact pay-pal and tell them??

Thanks for backing me up guys!! He still has yet to email me and tell why he sent me three different pictures!!

Thanks Erik
 
Actually Erik I would post all of his specific information if possible. Already he's using a different name on this forum as his "real name".... Josh something, its in a previous post. Provide all the information you can, and yes, I would contact paypal to inform them that he is using his account to accept $ from online scams and link them to this thread as evidence. They may or may not comply, but its worth a shot.
 
And by the way, if you dint want too post it in fear of any recourse action, send the information my way. No worries, I'll be more than happy to do so..... :)

And in case he even tries and is reading this, please refrain from sending private e-mails with incredible stories...it's been tried before with not very good results...
 
The only jacobson I show in joshua tree is below:

Jacobson, S

JOSHUA TREE, CA 92252
760-366-39XX

I'm a little hesitant to post the number of someone who may be perfectly innocent though, so until we have more information to go on thats as far as I'll go. I did however do a reverse lookup on the number you provided and it yeilded nothing. Probably a cell phone? Who knows.... Give him a ring and say hi! :)
