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.

And the fact that Ty's involvement in issue might be illegal further puts him in a bad light in the eyes of any honest judge. Run with it. You have a solid case based on the fact that the advertisement and communication were all with Ty. Take it to Judge Judy. She'll destroy this guy.

The picture in post #299 shows a raffle taking place in Arizona, with the IRCF staff congratulating Michelle on her win.
If this was not an Arizona non profit raffle,which is one of the exceptions, there are some criminal statutes against gambling in Arizona which may apply. You can't have your cake and eat it too.
As I said, the number of different states make this a complex situation, but I think as more people from different states are contacted, they will begin talking to each other.

This is not to say that Ty may not have his own legal problems to deal with. I think he will. But there is no doubt in my mind that the IRCF is involved.

Good luck Michelle. Don't even know how he's trying to skirt out of a promise he wrote in pretty plain text with his own two hands. Do not let him or anyone else tell you that you're "greedy" or unreasonable for wanting what was exactly promised to you.
This wasn't a free raffle (not that it would be any better if it was) and you deserve what you signed up for, nothing less.

Going back to the part about the gender of the winners, the one tegu that he auctioned off that was supposedly for Michelle was won by a woman. So I don't think you can get a solid sexist claim there. However my concern is that if the judge awards Michelle the tegu or money what's going to make ty actually pay up?

Each state has slightly different methods, they are all pretty easy to find.

I'm guessing she meant that the tegus were male. Females would be held back more for breeding. Extra males are usually sold.

It's possible you read it right and she was wondering about sexism though. I might have just read it as the animals sex.
