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.

I started a claim with PayPal. At least I was smart enough to use PayPal and when I had the option of a personal payment or a business payment I chose business. Let's see if PayPal comes through. I have had PayPal almost since they first started. Never got burned before with PayPal but then again I never had to put a claim in. Who would guess that crooks would bother with a reptile site?

I guess you have NO idea what we have to put up with here. Some time spent reading other threads in this forum may be an eye opener for you.

Thanks eveandme2. This is unbelievable that someone, and this was no foreigner, has to stoop this low. I'm not a little kid but what if was some kid that saved and saved until he had enough to buy one. I think this crook is a reptile guy because he knew exactly how to operate. He may be under another name trying to sell snakes or whatever but at least I can go after his PayPal acct. It wouldn't have done any good to check him out here because I'm probably the first one he got under this acct. However there may be others that got burned and don't want to be embarrassed, but if my post can save someone else some grief then it's worth the time

Have you tried all of these methods to contact him?
1. Rsteward@cbmusa.com
2. https://www.facebook.com/ryan.steward.3
3. Ryanreptiles1590@yahoo.com
I see that he hasn't been on Fauna for about 2 weeks. Is it possible he is out versus scamming? His Facebook page is too in-depth for me to believe it is fake at this point.

Robert I was using the email you mentioned and he responded promptly until he got paid. I saw his FB page so maybe I'll see if he responds to that. I'll check out the other link you provided. Thanks, Dan

Looks like I got burned. Payed $160 for a redfoot tortoise over two weeks ago. As soon as he got my PayPal payment he disappeared. His ad is still listed so I am hoping the moderators can keep this ad from ripping someone else off. Was very prompt at answering emails until money was sent. He posted same tortoises for sale on FB so I guess he is ripping ppl off there also.
