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'm so glad to hear you got your snakes back! I'd been eying that ad and discussing a trip to Mexico with my family (which was supposedly included in the deal)... glad we never got past the discussion point!

I can't say with 100% certainty.
I do not believe that picture is actually Chris, similar looking... but all of the other information is accurate to my knowledge.

The very first day the ad was posted all but the two snakes were marked as sold....Why would you list snakes in a brand new ad that were already SOLD?...Was an automatic red flag for me. Glad this person was uncovered before someone spent their hard earned money. Good work on Garricks part and Jordan you are a truly stand up guy.

I'm certainly not happy this happened to anyone, but if it hadn't been two honest and experienced guys like Jordan and Garrick, they probably would've gotten away with it until the law caught up with them due to credit card fraud. Thanks to you both for flushing this out!

The Trip to mexico was a huge red flag to me. Along with anyone that shows up with no post or a very low count and high end stuff!

Wow, so glad the snakes got back to where they belonged. Great job Jordan Russell!!!
I do have one or two questions: was the scam that whoever Sarah Gassett is, her credit card info was stolen and used by Chris Wanajaya to buy these snakes, or do you think Sarah Gassett was a completely false ID made to get credit cards (not an easy task, as far as I know?) and buy/sell snakes, or do you think Sarah Gassett was in on it and filed a fraudulant chargeback on the card?
(I am assuming the billing name for the credit card info was Sarah Gassett)
Also, did you get hit with fees on top of having the snakes' purchase price being taken back?
Thanks for warning us.

Sarah Gassett
I don't think Sarah Gassett is a real person. The cardholder who's information was stolen was someone else's completely. I'm not sure how her information was stolen, but she definitely had no knowledge of the transaction until she found it on her credit card statement. I talked to her several times while I was trying to sort this mess out. Definitely not Sarah Gassett. Chris actually emailed me later in the day after I originally posted about this. He made up a story about how Sarah Gassett is a co-worker who owed him money, because Chris had been paying her mortgage. She agreed to buy snakes for him to pay him back and Chris had no idea they were being purchased with stolen credit card info. He claims to have no idea how all of this could have happened and is innocent in the entire thing. There were lots of holes in his story and it definitely sounds made up. I hope this guy never recovers from the fallout of this scam.
