Hello!
Either you have not registered on this site yet, or you are registered but have not logged in. In either case, you will not be able to use the full functionality of this site until you have registered, and then logged in after your registration has been approved.
Registration is FREE, so please register so you can participate instead of remaining a lurker....
Please note that the information requested during registration will be used to determine your legitimacy as a participant of this site. As such, any information you provide that is determined to be false, inaccurate, misleading, or highly suspicious will result in your registration being rejected. This is designed to try to discourage as much as possible those spammers and scammers that tend to plague sites of this nature, to the detriment of all the legitimate members trying to enjoy the features this site provides for them.
Of particular importance is the REQUIREMENT that you provide your REAL full name upon registering. Sorry, but this is not like other sites where anonymity is more the rule.
Also your TRUE location is important. If the location you enter in your profile field does not match the location of your registration IP address, then your registration will be rejected. As such, I strongly urge registrants to avoid using a VPN service to register, as they are often used by spammers and scammers, and as such will be blocked when discovered when auditing new registrations.
Sorry about all these hoops to jump through, but I am quite serious about blocking spammers and scammers at the gate on this site and am doing the very best that I can to that effect. Trust me, I would rather be doing more interesting things with my time, and wouldn't be making this effort if I didn't think it was worthwhile.

The moderators on occasion make similar posts, when the situation is warranted. He has ripped off plenty of people here, and we like to try to prevent it from happening again. I'm very glad you got your animal.....perhaps he could use that money to pay back some of the folks he ripped off, huh?
I think it's "kinda ridiculous" to buy from someone who has been known to scam people.

I did not post to be put on the butchers block. He lives very close to me and I knew him in the past. He never ripped me off then so I figured I would give him another try. I agree about the shipping situation when he billed shipping to reciever, that should never happen. And if there are other situations out there that are bad, he should make good on it. As far as I am, I am happy with my transaction. As far as me dealing with someone who is known to scam people, I cannot say I feel anyone has the right to say who one can and cannot deal with. If I wanted to risk getting burnt and I took that risk and got burnt I am to blame. I read the topics started on him and I inquired to him about them. As far as what has been done here on this ad, fine if you want to post one thing with a link to his current threads like you did that is fine, but if I were to post a good guy post would you have included that? 3 pages for an ad where this should have been locked and sent directly to the BOI. That is my opinion about it. I am quite concerned on how this site has come. Do a search on the 'F' word see what it comes back with, and I don't see these being moderated.
I used this site since the begining, it has helped me out imensly(sp?) in the past, and I am sure it has done the same for thousands of others, but unfortunately how could you expect one to sit through and read thru a topic when half of it does not pertain to the topis in question. My example is the most recent thread on Bobby Pruiet, where someone had a legitimate complaint and halfway thru it other members started having pissing matches between themselves.
I am in no means standing up for Herps ETC. If he had bad deals in the past then he should fix them if he is at fault. I did not see any 100% proof on any of the situations that that was so. It was quite wishy washy, and I know how bad it hurts to be stung, but it is difficult to try and read a point when others are jumping in with other matters. But as far as where I stand, I am happy with my dealings with HERPS ETC. If you are uncomfortable to do buisness via shipping with someone due to these threads then do what I did and if it is possible meet with the person and do your transaction in person. Yes I know this may not be possible in alot of transactions, so if you still feel weary go somewhere else. I hope everyone who felt like they got burnt gets taking care of it is due to them. And I wish there were no crooks out there, but there are crooks and money hungry fools, if there were not this site would not exsit.
Again I am happy with my transaction, and I love my Tort
Vic

If someone has been scamming people, I'm not about to give him a cent of my money, meeting in person or not.
That's like saying, "Well, I don't care who he's scamming, as long as it isn't me, it's OK!" When people keep buying from known scammers, they are simply enabling them to keep right on doing what they are doing.

Again I reviewed his threads, a lot of back and forth stuff which did not determin which way or the other. I asked him aboth these threads and he responded immediately explaining his side. Again I am not defending him or what he has done in the past just the very simple fact of I got a large dollar animal from him and I am satisfied
Thanks
Vic
