• 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.

    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....

Just took care of this since you posted this thread (and thank you for the notification). In the future, please use the report post function as well so it alerts site staff members rapidly and directly. I only happened to refresh this forum a bit ago.
 
He’s been killing me all day, he’s sent emails for several different species. I finally told him that the only snakes I had left were still eating lucky rabbits feet. His name attached to the email is David.

Grade F for creativity with this scammer. I mean really, at least make an effort.

joking, of course..I wish this guy would get some kind of real job!
 
I received a notification through my private e-mail, From Adam12. When I clicked the link, There were no E-mail in my fauna account from Adam!!

I could never understand that offer of an extra however-many $$$, as to me it SCREAMS "scam", and you'd think would warn people off, but I read somewhere that when people do respond to something obvious like this, it indicates to the scammer that they are an easy (and greedy) mark, so it's essentially a sort of pre-screening device.
 
He is quite possibly the worst scammer I have ever seen. He will email me still with new threads after i make him send a fake check to an address
 
Adams12 contacted me a week ago with the SAME exact massage in that original post. I emailed him back, but never heard from him

Searched here and found this

WTF is wrong with people? And why is this industry so susceptible to these clowns?:shrug01:

You should reply back "OK, we can wait to do the transaction when you get back. You know how unreliable assistants are. they might mistakenly send too much money and then I'd have to mail you back the remainder. Best to just keep the transaction between us." :)
 
Got this today from a user going by freng12

Still up for sale?let me know the final price and get back to me via my email [email protected]

His join date is within the last week, he has no posts, states that his location is California without a specific city, and his name is "wilsonjohn." This is clearly a duplicate account to the "adams12" account, and should be banned.
