    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....

Well, it appears my money order got lost in the mail from Bridgeport to East Hartford. It sure doesn't take 4 days to go less then 50 miles.

Sal,

Again you promise to send payment first thing Tuesday morning from the post office and ever since, you don't respond to emails or texts.

Please get a hold of me so we can try yet again to work this out. I will drive to your house to get the money, in cash, if that's what it will take.

Same thing. Told his phone died and he lost my contact information/address to ship the money order out to me. This was Tuesday after I posted on here. He said he would ship it out again after I responded to his email with my shipping information. Again, no money order and no longer responding. I was only able to catch him on Facebook. Which I thought was pretty funny as he said he lost his phone but the message was sent from a mobile.
 
Yeah, true colors have been shown. I doubt he had any intent of making things right. He just wanted a smoke screen so he could buy time, then duck and run again.

I'm sorry you are going through this.
 
This is ridiculous and honestly for me the worst part about this is that now with more and more scams it makes it harder for someone who is not a big name breeder to sell or trade online just simply because it is hard to trust people and even more difficult for the other party to feel comfortable shipping to someone not very well known. Sorry to hear about your snake and I hope somehow it is returned.
 
He told me his sister worked at a daycare/nursery school and he was bringing his son to a halloween party so he couldn't meet me. I heard all about the deals for friends too. Such bs. He must have wasted at least 15 days on me with him constantly changing times. He seems to bestuck with only CL now as he's screwed too many people on these forums.

Glad you got you didn't lose out on too much time.
 
Exactly how i felt. Just dragged out for over 3 months and he couldn't pay me but could keep buying more and sending me pictures of them or asking if I thought it looked like some morph. A little effort could have gone a long way.
 
He's robbing people of money and time. I'm not sure why he is still getting a chance. I'm not trying to be mean, but if you are still letting him engage in this hobby, then he knows what has done, has not bothered his ability to continue to screw. If this guy ever emailed me, I'd tell him to kick rocks. Again sorry, not trying to be mean but it's not going to hit him where it counts if he still has a chance.

Now if he grows up and makes what he has done right, then I believe he might be deserving of another chance. I think every area has one of these people and unfortunately, because of the life they have lived for so long, are unwillling to change.
 
Why would you sell to a known scammer.. To me by buying trading selling to him is just being supportive to what he does. Another person added to the dnbfl or sell to. The things people will do for a dollar.

My apologies for trying to be a decent human being and give the guy a chance. Didn't realize that made me just as bad as him.

Not just as bad Luke but a lot of the perennial bad guys out there would have had much shorter careers if they were not supported by a plethora of buyers out there with the "Until he screws me personally, I don't care" attitude

Makes sense. I didn't really think about it much to be honest.
I think I give people the benefit of the doubt too often.

Benefit of the doubt is a wonderful thing...in moderation. Once a pattern of behavior is obvious it is no longer benefit of the doubt, it is simply a decision that enables a scammer to continue his scamming ways.
 
Lol wow he can't identify a single gene Mojave but has some really high end animals to trade to you. He's a scammer and thief!!! Glade I did not sell to him when inquired about my Champagne male I had for sell. Just another person on the Do not buy or sell to list!!!
