I personally have my business email, personal cell number, and picture of myself available on my website that is posted at the bottom of every single one of my posts. The fact of the matter is, I have nothing to hide. I am completely transparent with people because that's the sort of business I believe in.
I have had people who I have never spoken with call me or email me with questions about snakes. It has never been an issue. If they're looking to buy, I usually tell them to text me or email me with details (so that it is documented), but there is absolutely no need for someone to send me a formal message first to introduce themselves. I don't need to know someone's life story to give them a snake, I just won't deal with someone that sounds fishy from the get go. That's all there is to it.

And thats what I am saying. If it was a normal business transaction. All this Forum etiquette would be unnecessary. I simply joined to look for HELP in finding what I was in search of since al the breeders I have dealt with have had none or no leads to assist with. Some of them even have the right snakes on their site, but then claim they do not have it and that there is a mistake on the site. Months go by and they are still advertising the same thing I am trying to buy, but they do not have it.
I do business in the real world and on the net. People know who I am when they want to do business with me.
I HAVE been a victim of Identity and financial theft and why I am concerned with it here on an open board. Go through it once, it stays there your whole life. Try getting the equity back on a house that a second mortgage was taken out on fraudulently.
Everything seems well and fine until the bad happens. It should be the users choice and then the sellers choice wether to do business with the said user.
