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.

OK here's my story. My friend saw he post an ads about selling Ensatina eschscholtzii platensis with the price of 60 each, and he said he can did 400 shipped for all 6. BTW the name was Minh Nguyen, with that Daniel's email address as payment, so who knows which one is real name or they can be a squad. So I paid at 25th Sep and he told me he can did the shipping "next Monday", when that Monday got passed he told me 80 degree temperature was not good for shipping so another NEXT MONDAY. I said fine so I missed the good time to apply refund through PayPal. When the second Monday was there, he told me the package got returned and he wanted to do refund. AND that's all , no more next move. I tried to apply refund in PayPal but the system said the period was too long to apply so I got failed. Email address is denzellll91@gmail.com.

Thank you for posting this Yinpeng. At what point did the name "Minh Nguyen" come up? Do you have any screen shots of your conversations? I'm sorry this happened to you.

Found it. We already dealt with this account for stolen pictures, false location, etc. IP is not from Utah, but rather comes from the same area as "Daniel" in California. It was banned.

Daniel Adam Gonzalez is a computer graphic designer (see resume above).
He created a previous fake account here offering design services:
Account: ArtisticAlias
Fake Name: Denzel Adam
artisticalias@yahoo.com
The PayPal email and the fake account both match 'Denzel'.
All IPs for all accounts come back to northern California (Modesto, Sacramento, San Fransisco area).
Around 10 accounts thus far can be tied back to Daniel.
It appears Daniel is an avid hiker. It appears he is repeatedly trying to sell native California species and changes his location via fake accounts in an attempt to do this.

Great work Robert
Sounds like another artist to avoid.
so sad our hobby is becoming more and more infected with this disease.
I feel truly sorry for those who are now out of money from this as no matter what anybody here says it is near impossible to recover relatively small amounts of money through interstate transactions.
Yinpeng
I know you say time limit for Paypal has expired ( I thought it was 60 days but maybe not?).
However, how did you fund that? If by credit card you may have recourse through your credit card company, worth a try if so.

Well, no one can say that he isn't dedicated to his craft. Imagine if he put so much energy into legitimizing himself and running a reputable operation instead of dedicating himself to scamming through a continuous stream of fake accounts. What a waste of ambition.

Yinpeng, how long ago did your transaction occur? Did you transfer money through PayPal using a credit card or a bank debit card with a credit card logo? If you did you can go back through your credit card and file a dispute. I have seen this Gonzalez character at some of the reptile shows in the area, and in doing a thorough search the only Daniel a Gonzalez that I can find in Northern California lives at home with his mommy and daddy in Modesto and I have the address and information for he and his parents along with phone numbers if it is appropriate for me to post? In addition to that I would hope that people will start filing a complaint with the Local District Attorney's office when people pull scams. I have had a couple of incidences and I took an hour and filled out every Complaint Form for every agency with jurisdiction and found that I would get my money back swiftly. These bad apples need to go.

I wonder if this bad guy has actually completed any sales in violation of the Lacey Act, or just taken peoples' money and never sent the animals?
