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.

ahem...the watermark discussion needs to go elsewhere as well - no more warnings on this.
This thread is about Tigerlilly, aka Diana Carpenter

Dang Pav....I just read this whole thing. I actually saw the post for the Male bee and was lookin at it, saw you were lookin at buyin the female and I was like "oh cool" so I started writing my email to her about asking about the male.
.....Then I went to page two of that ad....boy I am glad I did not press send!! Geeze!!
When people pay with Paypal though, don't they get refunded if you can prove you never got the animal, and then they go after the person you sent the $$ to anyway? I've only dealt with one Ebay/Paypal dispute so I'm not too familiar on it.
I was thinkin the same thing as someone else, that Chuck is maybe a dummy account? Idk...anyway, glad you didn't send her any $$!! And I think if I buy snakes from now on I'll follow your lead and ask for the whole "name and date" thing in a pic.

Also, like someone else said at the beginning of this thread, this doesn't look good for us little guys. I mean, I don't have many posts on this site, but I'm always on Bp.net but if people are looking for users with a lot of posts, I can see how it can look like a scam if a person doesn't frequent one site quite as much. Booo on the whole thing!!!

Wow glad I read this! She was holding the 3 female normals for me until the weather warmed up a little bit. I've tried to contact her a few times over the last week and she hasn't been answering my e-mails. I started to become suspicous and thats when I found this. Thanks everybody for looking out.

Just to let everyone know that I was able to recover all the money I sent her through the dispute I filed with Paypal after I saw Pav's email. Pav did a great job in catching this scammer. If not for Pav's response to the post I addressed to this scammer, this Diana would have victimized more buyers. This is the first time I've dealt with a scam in Fauna after buying and selling BDs for quite some time, and it wasn't an easy experience to deal with. Probably, I just got too excited to get a breedable BP female that I jumped into the water right away. Good thing that Paypal has a way to protect their clients.
I would definitely be more cautious next time and follow the advice of the posters and mods in this forum. Special thanks to Pav for bringing this case here in BOI. Also, just to clarify, my account is no dummy...this is legit. I just refrained from posting until I got the result of my claim, thinking that it would be better not to give her an idea what I was doing to recover my money.
Thanks - chuckpb
