• 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.....

    Addendum: 01/10/2026
    =====================


    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....

Got me a scammer boys!

This douche canoe tried selling me some water dragons. I got an email from the scanner email walker Smith uses these days. The same time I got the copy and pasted message from "landrine" (what, did you flip to a random Lord of the rings page and pick a name?)

Google search shows nothing
Facebook says she doesn't exist
Google+ has nothing on the new email account

I'll post the texts, emails, and all the other goodies shortly. Watch your back friends, they just keep trying.

P.S. if you wanna see where they stole their pictures from, go to youtube and check this bad boy out

He's a little busy beaver, he contacted me today, in response to my wanted ad for Conspics, it's pretty funny he uses the exact wording just changes the species.

Start reading from the bottom up, it's copy & paste emails.

Hello are you still looking for San Esteban Spiny-tailed Iguana (Ctenosaura conspicuosa)


The photos he sent of the conspics belong to Hubert Cumberdale.

Definitely a scam artist.

Walker Smith Scam

Unfortunately I have to join you guys. Walker Smith tried to scam me too. Fortunately I looked him up on the BOI first. Thank you all.
He answered my ad that I was looking for Black Milk snakes. He sent me nice photos of Black Milk snakes and said the same things the same way that you guys posted here. Too bad he didn't have the snakes in the photos. When I told him that he was exposed on the BOI and I knew he was a scammer he said this:
> On Sep 21, 2017, at 1:01 PM, walker smith <[email protected]>
hello im not a scammer okay,just need a new some for them so we need to trust each other here okay

He used a different number: 7865482135 I told him if he can prove that he is not scamming me then we have a deal. That's the last I heard from him.
Buyer beware of Walker Smith or whatever his name is.

Curious, how did he originally (very first time) make contact with you? Thanks

I have an ad on fauna and on Kingsnake: ISO Black Milk Snakes.
Thanks

I see your ISO "Wanted" Milk snake ad on Fauna. It does not list your email or phone number. Did he/she private message you on Fauna through their Fauna account here? I'm trying to see if they have an active Fauna account still open here or not. Thanks.
 
Yes. He PMed me from my fauna ad, I gave him my email and that's how we started our communication. He had me excited until I found this BOI chain. Thank you all.
 
He saw my fauna ad, PMed me, I gave him my email address and that's how we communicated from then on. We also texted twice. In my last email I told him to prove to me that he had the snakes I wanted and to prove that he was not a scammer and I never heard from him again. Hope that helps.

What is the name of the account the person used?
 
You know how your account's name, the username, is mbeach?

What is the account name of the person who PMed you?

Not what is in the name field. Not how you were contacted. Not how the conversation went.

The username / account name. That is what is being asked for at this point.
