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.

There's no IP match, and a cursory look found nothing to suggest they are the same person. However, looking at the whole picture, to me it brings Steven into question, rather than James.
James has been a member since January of 2009.
He has posted that exact ad 5 times, the first time being on 1/01/12, and the most recent being 1/10/12.
The first time he advertised that snake, with a similarly worded ad was in December, bringing the total times he's advertised that snake to 7.
Steven joined yesterday and posted that ad today, 1/11/12 with an ad text that is virtually a copy and paste of James' except for the weight and the things considered for trade.
Two pictures used in the two ads are not of the same snake.
If Steven is legit, that's definitely and odd way to post an ad.

Hmmm, fishy. I only saw Steven's ad, but I was suspicious because the animal in the ad is most definitely NOT a pastel pied, and I couldn't see any "gold coin" marking. I can see the marking in James' ad. The wording is exact and the trades they are looking for are the same morphs, so *shrugs.* Also, it's not exactly a great price for a small male pied.

Stevie was passing a Pied off as a Pastel Pied on a Facebook classified page. Wen asked to provide paperwork from BHB that he bought it as a Pastel Pied he disappeared.

Different snakes, different people...at this point it no longer matters.
All honesty has flown out the window and for some reason I'm pretty sure we all think something fishy is going on lol.
Obviously someone is lying about something lol, if not multiple things.
