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.

Alex can get into his Paypal account anywhere there's internet access and 5 minutes of his time, so no excuse there. How can Heather be expected to "run' Alex's business if she has no access to his Paypal account? If she cantake payments surely she can refund them.

Nope, that's the one I have.

I figured that a yellow thing on a white background will throw some yellow, just a funny thing that light does (it does do that).
Good luck to Alex's mom, that's got to be tough.

Oh, Alex and I are old buddies. Yeah right.
All I did was play with the Color Balance and of all things the Hue and Saturation with my camera's software. This would be cool:

LOL, okay, I wasn't sure if there was maybe a different photo floating around on his forums, or something. :P

She's not "running the business" she taking care of the animals, as far as I know, nobody had been able to reach either to even buy animals, so no payments are even being taken for animals.

Richard said is true! I have the same experience!
Because Alex also blocked me. I can't use my ID to post anything or send PM to other people. I try to sent him many messages to communicate, but he didn't reply me.
He can post new thread and renew ALEX LOTTERY POOL, but no time give me a reply.........
I began to believe this is a scam.

Fe I love you to death you know this. But i know for a fact baby fat tails that have come from Alex have been at the following shows.
Taylor
Columbus
Cleveland
I am not sure how my friend received them but they were BABY less then 3 months at most. These Geckos were said to be produced by Alex Hue and came from Alex. I was looking to buy them this is how I know. My friend told me where they came from.
Also I seen ads placed on Kingsnake from Alex about a month ago(give or take a week or two). They were for Albino and Normal Fat Tails and Leos.
If Alex's mom is sick and he can not take care of his past customers he should shut down for awhile IMO. If you do not have time for old customers how do you have time for new ones? I just thought I would share this info.
I hope his mother gets better.
Also in Jan of this year Alex had email convos with my brother about another issue dealing with animals.

It is unfortunate his mother is ill (I wish her a speedy recovery) but with that, he shouldn't be given a pass for completely losing his ability to take care of his customers. As Gary said, he should take a break from his business. If he isn't capable of handling past customer problems, but finds time to advertise to new ones then there is an off skew view of ethics being used. The scam he pulled on Erik for that Ball Python is another thing all together, that is downright scummy and I see no excuse that could explain that one away.

That really is unfortunate that his mother is ill and I hope for recovery, but as others have pointed out, there comes a time to take care of business as
Gary O pointed out with this question:

I have a few as well:
How much of a coincidence is it that both of these "money owed" deals are with foreign buyers?
Is it easier to take advantage of foreign buyers with respect to the laws, both domestic and international, and the buyers ability to recoup their loss?
I refunded a mistake purchase today using my PayPal account. Someone had purchased an item from me that had already been sold. It took me less than five minutes.
Of course if the money has already been withdrawn and spent that would make it very difficult to refund and a very poor business practice, at the least.

I was deceived by Alex.
It is before two years.
The amount of money was about 70,000 dollars.
Because evidence is left, I talk with a lawyer about whether I should take what kind of action now.
I know several people deceived more by Alex.
