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.

    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....

Bad Guy SCAMMER Brian Timony "Mr. Parsons"

Just wondering but Mr. Timony is also posting classifieds under the name Woody47 now located in PA not in NJ. Can a Mod look into this?

And there's also a question about a tamatave ad that was posted months ago from the same location as his other forum name.

He just emailed me 3 days ago offering the same Tamatave in trade for 2 female ambilobes. I knew something was fishy being I'm pretty sure I saw the Tamatave pics before.

Here's a link to the ad for the Tamatave that was posted by "Fired Up". It's been deleted, but maybe a Mod could restore it for us:

It seems pretty likely that "Fired Up" and "Mr. Parsons" are the same, but if the ad can be restored, we can compare the posted pictures with whatever pictures he sent to you. If they happen to be the same chameleon, it'll tie up one loose end and be another nail in the coffin.
 
Something else I just noticed. The parsons cham being advertised now from the Woody47 account as an 11 month old, was also being sold last year by Mr Parsons as an 18 month old he'd had for 14 months.

I'm not going to restore the other instances, but the same chameleon was advertised in several other ads from Mr Parsons dating as far back as August of last year for prices ranging from $1400 in an ad marked as sold, to the $2500 it's back up to now.
 
He's posted from multiple IP addresses, which of them should we ban? In today's world, that really isn't a particularly effective means of preventing access. The woody47 doesn't have a match with Fired Up or Mr. Parsons; thought is little doubt in my mind that they are the same person.

Happen to still have those pictures that he sent you?

Can't his IP get blocked? Multiple accounts, different locations, he obviously is on the BOI for a reason.

Considering how fairly simple it is to bypass both MAC and IP address bans, the only thing that the ban would accomplish would be to make things more difficult for any legitimate members who happen to be in his general area and have the same ISP. 'Keep your friends close and your enemies closer'
 
Heres the pics of the Tamatave he wanted to trade.

Here's the pic from the "Fired Up" ad. Definitely looks the same to me. Notice the vertical white splotch above the right foreleg and the single little orange spot on the veil. Not that there was a whole lot of doubt, but Fired Up, Mr. Parsons, and Woody47 are all the same person.
