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.

Walker Smith Scam
Unfortunately I have to join you guys. Walker Smith tried to scam me too. Fortunately I looked him up on the BOI first. Thank you all.
He answered my ad that I was looking for Black Milk snakes. He sent me nice photos of Black Milk snakes and said the same things the same way that you guys posted here. Too bad he didn't have the snakes in the photos. When I told him that he was exposed on the BOI and I knew he was a scammer he said this:
> On Sep 21, 2017, at 1:01 PM, walker smith <walkersmiths359@gmail.com>
hello im not a scammer okay,just need a new some for them so we need to trust each other here okay
He used a different number: 7865482135 I told him if he can prove that he is not scamming me then we have a deal. That's the last I heard from him.
Buyer beware of Walker Smith or whatever his name is.

I see your ISO "Wanted" Milk snake ad on Fauna. It does not list your email or phone number. Did he/she private message you on Fauna through their Fauna account here? I'm trying to see if they have an active Fauna account still open here or not. Thanks.

Yes. He PMed me from my fauna ad, I gave him my email and that's how we started our communication. He had me excited until I found this BOI chain. Thank you all.

He saw my fauna ad, PMed me, I gave him my email address and that's how we communicated from then on. We also texted twice. In my last email I told him to prove to me that he had the snakes I wanted and to prove that he was not a scammer and I never heard from him again. Hope that helps.

You know how your account's name, the username, is mbeach?
What is the account name of the person who PMed you?
Not what is in the name field. Not how you were contacted. Not how the conversation went.
The username / account name. That is what is being asked for at this point.
