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.

If he chooses not to make right the agreement, I pray this helps future breeders and reptile owners to make an informed decision on who they buy from. This also can easily turn into a "resolved or made right" thread - but that is up to Mr. Frade.
All the best,

Are people in prison allowed to surf the internet and have cell phones?
Which leads to the bigger question: Manny Frade has been in prison for the last year who is watching his critters? And do the people who have sent him critters on breeding loan know he's not there?

Best I can figure is that anyone who does business with a Frade, is unaware of the BOI. I can't imagine how truly damaged the reptile industry would be without this site and the wisdom that created it.

Victor,
If this is correct:
"Defendant Sentenced for Operating a Boiler Room in Broward
County On February 25, 2016, Manuel Frade pled guilty to one count of scheme to defraud and one count of securities fraud (Chapter 517.301, F.S.). On the same date, Frade was adjudicated guilty and sentenced to two years of prison to be followed by 10 years of probation. Frade was also ordered to pay $438,334.00 in restitution, $100,000 of which was paid immediately."
Again, if the above is true, it would be as simple as finding out who his probation officer is, contacting him/her, letting him/her know about what transpired between you & Manny.
At that point, I'd bet dollar to doughnut holes, Manny starts jumping through hoops, too take care of you.
If you need help finding out who his probation officer is, just email me, I'll help!
Best of luck to you Victor!
Lynn Peterson

Perfect Predators (Manny Frade) - Scammer on Breeding Loan
