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.

Was anyone even NOTIFIED that the auction winner backed out? Crummy excuses is what it sounds like to me.
I really want to make a post, and probably will after this job I'm on is over. But I'd like to see everyone post in it that donated an animal or item, or cash, or won an auction... and total up exactly how much was sent.
I honestly think the donors are the one's that will have to press for legal action. The charitable donations were not sent to where they were intended, and instead used for personal gain. Sounds like fraud or outright theft to me. Considering this hurt Maggie, who is already suffering greatly, I hope they get the BOOK thrown at them.

I didn't believe Christina's story of a lot of auctions not being paid for and merchandise not being sent. She told me this and I suggested to her to contact the second highest bidder and she told me that she thought the way she should do it was to reauction it. I don't recall anything being in auction twice.
Rick you also got hurt by Christina and Jeff. I am also not excluding Jeff from this.

Im in... Hell, I never even received shipping money for the boa I auctioned off. I didnt care as long as the funds were going to the right places but, since they didnt, I am all over this.
I could go into so much more details about this whole ordeal but I dont want to drag emails to other people into the middle of this. A lot of us who spent a lot of time talking to them on a personal level are already feeling the wrath of what they have done.
I just wish that I had access to Maggie and Rick in Mid March when I had some odd feelings about everything.

In my experience, people like this usually have several forums/groups that they are working. Once the jig is up in one forum it's on to the next one, sometimes with new names.
If I belonged to other forums, I'd be watching very carefully for another con. They usually come in with sob stories of their own, dripping sweetness and very helpful until money changes hands and then it's too late.

You think there gonna make anything right??? i dont even see them showing there face here. The only way to get money outta them is a law suit. But how are you going to pull that off. Not saying it cant be done, but whos gonna go threw all the legal procedures and lawyer fees?
