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.

just some fyi
this isnt entirely about this post but as a person who buys more animals than they sell i would like to add some things.
i always do a boi search before i purchase and i always read the post and not just go by headers. so your name may pop up on a search but most actually read the discussion first so its not that bad.
as far as the no phone thing. if i ask a seller to talk i EXPECT them to talk. it is a safe guard for the buyer. it gives proof on paper of where the buyer is located in case of fraud. i do business with people with out talking to them but if i ask to talk on the phone that means i have a reason that i want to talk to you. and if you dont their is a good chance i wont buy from you

ALL of my snakes were purchased without EVER speaking to the people I bought them from over the phone. If I used your ideology, I would owe a lot of people a serious apology.
You were wrong to post this - period. I tell ya, if it were my ad she responded to and she offered to add Males to the mix, the LAST thing I would do is complain.
The way your posts read, it seems you are just upset that she was willing to ship CORRECTLY in the beginning of the week. So you had to wait a few days and you didn't like that.
This bad guy post is plainly posted out of spite. You owe her a serious apology.

Adam, how is talking on the phone a safeguard? Also how does it give proof on paper as it was a discussion on the phone? A phone number gives you no location as to someones whereabouts. I think you might have mistyped the info you were wanting to say.
Now, as I stated before, I PREFER written over verbal for the papertrail. I understand that people want to talk to you on the phone and I will accept phone calls, if I feel like it. If its a larger purchase, I can be at your beck and call. If its a small, 30.00 Corn, if you cant handle that through paper, I can keep it.
Phone calls are not a convienience anymore. How do you handle it when you do call someone and their phone is ringing with other prospective buyers when you are placed on hold? There are too many intangibles when it comes to talking on the phone as well as it being hearsay.

i have ordered many reptiles without ever talking on the phone also but a trade is different sorry if any1 thinks different and i did not post this out of spite like i said possible skammer i will be deleting this later 2day beans so many people have so many different views and i dont really care all i was telling the fauna community that we might have a possible skammer so to lookout for her.FYI i usually always talk on the phone before i sell i have only sold 3 times on fauna and i gave them all my number it just so happens that all 3 of the buyers never said anything 1 of the buyers i have almost a weekly contact with by texting on my cell so and she seems pretty satisfied.

John, one thing about the BOI, once its here, its here for good. Whatever you say here CANNOT be deleted. This is why you will get many responses here.
Its ok to post here, but you should fully understand as well as communicate with your customer, even though its a "trade", you are still each others customer. When posting a bad guy or "possible skammer" thread, you should have exhausted all other options before you label someone. This label can ruin someones business even if thats not the intent of the OP, which is you.
Anyhow, I hope you both can work through your threads and get back to doind what you need to do.

i some what agree with not wanting to take phone calls for a sale/trade. I also feel that as long as your mention the important parts of the phone call threw email so you do have a paper trail. For some people talking to the person over the phone puts them more at ease for doing a trade i know it did with me but like i mentioned before i put all the details of the phone call threw email so just in case i got burned i had prof of what was disclosed over the phone. The op jump the gun on this bad guy thread BIG time so honestly Amanda i wouldn't worry about this one thread.
