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.

Edgar aka Edgar Mateo aka Edogmateo...illegal animal request
I've have had a few correspondences with Edgar/Edog over the past 6 months or so. He only asks about animals that are illegal in NY and usually the first thing he asks is if you are willing to ship there. When you ask for a permit, he usually goes dark and doesn't respond, or is dismissive, until the next time he decides to try a few months later.
So far, he was asked for asian water monitors, morelets crocodiles, a few reticulated pythons, and possibly some other stuff in the past. Can only dig so far back in my emails. The individual either really seems to want illegal animals or could be some sort of agent/cop.
Sellers beware.
PS To the mods, I believe he PM'd me from a second account as well a week ago. I deleted the PM mistakenly but think it started with aponte?
I will attach screen shots.

Thanks for the tip. Please report it next time so he does not run shenanigans for extra time. He has at least three screen names at first glance and that also casts some doubt as to his full name.

Sorry. Relatively new to posting things here and mainly lurk. This all transpired on here within the last 2-3 hours (I hadn't been on recently, so saw the new message and last weeks message at the same time).

The information above was assembled by Robert Walker and succinctly covers the bulk of what I found as well. There is reason to suspect that the person involved could be a woman or connected in some fashion to one Lisa Ortiz.

On the Facebook profile, she appears to have a daughter named Asia Mateo as well.

And what a classy guy "Edgar" would be to use the information of a family member to make a dodgy account.

I can't substantiate it but Joe Switalski did say this guy once let his IP slip in an email trying to procure venomous illegally and it looked to be from NYDEC, which would suggest a sting type operation. It would make sense with how eager Edgar is to only inquire about illegal animals. Either way, definitely some shady stuff going on.
