• In the past two days I have gotten emails asking about being requested to provide credit card info in order to register and also to make a post in the classifieds forums. PLEASE NOTE: In no instance will this site ask you for this sort of information. The only time any request for payment is made is if you choose to opt-in for a higher membership level, and that is done SOLELY through PayPal. Anything else is coming from a source other than this site. My guess is that this is coming through Google Adsense, but when I can get someone to send me a screen shot of this sort of request, I will know more.

    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.

Shannon Brooks recently posted a classified ad on Craigslist in Rochester NY advertising geckos for sale, after messaging him he promised to give me a free gecko if I gave him a positive review on here. However after reading other reviews about him and about how he is underhanded I refuse to give him a positive review, he seems to be a shady individual and I highly doubt he ever had any intention of giving me anything for free rather he was just attempting to use my goodwill to help him in his business. BUSTED
 
Free gecko for a good review? Seriously?? "Here, heres $50 to go lie, and make me sound good"

What ever happened to just running a decent operation and letting people do it on theyre own accord?
 
Can you post any emails to document it? It would also make it easier for others that only have his email address to search with.
 
I can't believe you could do that.You could have just said no thanks...now I'm further slandered and it's directly related to my geckos.Everyone who has bought geckos from me has been very happy,now I can never breed them again.This was a family project and my few breeders belong to my kids.Your as selfish as the first idiot who slandered me.

>> Hello my wife and I are interested in what the "right" kind of people would be needed for the free geckos. We currently have two full grown Leopard Geckos and a veiled chameleon and would like to add to the family.
 
That's super shady. This is becoming a very common practice I fear. I wish there were ways to screen through the "BS" posts. I say, track records typically speak volumes. Soliciting a good review so they can find "the right person" to take their geckos is low.

Be a good person, get good reviews. Very simple philosophy.
 
Exactly, the only real good thing that came out of it is that we found this site lol. But yes just be a decent person, and maybe dont steal money from people.
 
I like how they tried to guilt trip you in that email.... What a card! People these days.... Good reputation comes from good business, not promises of free reptiles and freebies like that. Sorry about your run in Jesi, find someone else for certain!
 
Oh most definitely. I know way to try to guilt us, and we have kids, the only difference is, we are going to teach our kids to be honest business men and women.
