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.

Jdeezy85 / JACK MESA / JUNG CHOE
I was extremely interested in buying the paleo. Palpebrosus he has for sale on here right now. Cash in hand, ready to buy it.
First, his name isn't Jack Mesa, it is Jung Choe. User name is Jdeezy85. He won't accept paypal because it verifies the sellers info (bank info and his address). His excuse is he's had "too many charge backs" from paypal. He will only accept western Union or other methods that aren't traceable to him personally.
1. Two names. He didn't use his real name on here.
2. Won't give me any info on himself other than his city and supposed name.
3. Won't accept any form of payment other than something that leaves the buyer free to get ripped off. No insurance whatsoever.
4. When ASKED for some kind of insurance, he dodged the question with "You better act fast. He's getting sold either way.."
5.After asking him some more questions, like "Who is Jack Mesa? He says "I've already sold animals without all the interrogation".
LUCKILY I WISED UP AND DIDN'T SEND THE WESTERN UNION. STEER CLEAR OF THIS GUY. ALL THE SIGNS ARE THERE. HE'S GOING TO RIP YOU OFF.

Probably should have been an info thread since there was no transaction and the only thing you are going on is sketchy communication. Maybe you can post the ad you replied to and the rest of your conversation so that it doesnt get lost in space.

Jung Choe has had a few accounts banned from this site, because he likes to change his names regularly. He has stated that he just feels like a change (doesn't like his old screen name anymore), and/or that he forgot his password & can't access his prior email accounts...which is all well and good, except when the "real name" is also being changed and sales inquiries sent to the previously used emails still get answers.

Honest, reputable breeders or retailers just don't do shady things like that. I asked if I could send him a check early on in our conversation. I told him the reason behind it would be that upon cashing the check he'd have to show id and give a thumb print. That was a no-go as well for him.
I guarantee he is creating fraudulent ads in order to make a quick buck off of unsuspecting buyers.
If by chance he is an honest seller: Then why all deception? Why tell your customers to use western union EVEN though it is the most unsafe way (other than mailing cash) to do business for the buyer?

347 994 9143 is the number he was texting me with. A couple things you can do: Track his ip address and contact the provider to tell them he is using their service for crime.
Give his number to the police, do a report and let them figure out who he is through his phone provider. Fauna should have his ip address...

Get a tracking number right as soon as he ships...then call FedEx or whatever and verify it.
