Has anyone had any issues with this site?
I posted my BTS on there to rehome him, since Craigslist.com is turning up with very few interests and this site is full of scammers! I get at least four e-mails every single of day of super sketchy inquiries that are obviously written by someone who does not understand English. In the past two weeks, I have not gotten a single serious person. I have tried replying to some of the e-mails to see if I can get anything back and I get them wanting me to ship him to Malaysia, India, Korea, etc.
This is ridiculous. I am going to (finally) delete my account.
I got a few phone calls from people who have crazy thick accents wanting me to ship to Washington and Kansas and Missouri. I'm doubting that is were he will actually end up.
One of the e-mails:

Pets become a part of our hearts-
we adopt them as family right from the start.
We cast all our love on their kind, gentle souls, but, like you and I- they
too, grow old.
When we grow tired and weary, God gave us a choice- we have doctor's and
care, but our pets have no voice.
We may understand why we're changing this way, but a creature's language is
shown in his actions each day.
What they do with their bodies, how they act towards a friend- is their way
of saying their time's at an end.
And, as wonderful a gift as our "Free Will" can be, It pains us to choose
our loved pet's destiny.
When we see them in pain, our hearts say one thing- when we see them lash
out, we deny what truth rings.
For we don't want to lose the precious one that we've loved- but like humans
on earth they'll live on up above.
Oh. I know how you weep at making this choice- as you speak for your pet as
he has no voice.
You are kind, you are loving, and I know you have tried- to ration and
reason with the truth that's inside.
No one said life was easy, of this we can say- and I know you're heart's
breaking on this tragic day.
But, trust in your heart what your instincts have said- That God is guiding
you amongst all your dread.
I weep for you now as I know your heart aches- but my love is with you as
your decision you make.
God gave you the gift of some wonderful years- with a pet who was healthy
and healed many tears.
But now it's his time, for he's not the same pet- and I say this with
sadness, with tears and regret.
"For every thing there's a season," remember, and then, "A place for every
purpose, under Heaven."
It's just tons of these e-mails wanting more information on my "pet" never my lizard, never my BTS, never my reptile, herp, etc. It is always "pet". These are just mass messages sent out, from what I have researched.
Has anyone successfully adopted from this site or had your pet adopted? Either way, I'm only dealing with Craigslist.com from now on. This is ridiculous.
