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.

SELLERS BEWARE tu_yo68@outlook.es
*HEADS UP* Do not sell anything to a person who contacts you from a e-mail tu_yo.68@outlook.es They will PayPal you full amount and it will come under a name of Olga C Altamirano. They will ask that you send the animal(s) to their friend in Texas by the name of Oscar Miranda at a Fed Ex location (El Paso). I sent all of my evidence over to PayPal and they are trying working with the credit card company to dispute. In the mean time your PayPal account will either be locked out or in the negative in the process and it is not a quick and easy process. PLEASE BE WARNED and BE AWARE. DO NOT SELL UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES TO THIS INDIVIDUAL.

Just an update on this. PayPal has said they can do nothing even though they have 4 other cases open with the same individual using the exact same tactics and strategy. I have open a case with the FBI-IC3 division who handles internet crimes such as this. Even go through that process seems as the the victims have no rights and are left completely unprotected but we will see how it goes. I have since perhaps located who at least two of the people are that are involved in this scam stateside. If you have been scammed by this individual please PM as I will not release names publicly so these scum bags do not get wind that I am on to them.
If you use PayPay as a seller if the buyer does not send funds friends and family please instruct them to put their delivery address and info (even if it’s a Fed Ex location) in the comment section when paying. If they do not do that you the buyer are COMPLETELY unprotected and even with solid evidence from not only yourself but multiple other people PayPal will do nothing and you will be out the funds and the animal.

You should always send to the address that is on their PayPal account,if they want it sent somewhere else,they can add alternative addresses on their PayPal.
I got scammed for a £2000 bracelet a few years ago,because I sent it to the eBay address,and not the PayPal address,even though package was recorded and signed for.
I haven’t used EBay or PayPal since.

You need to name those you are accusing in order to help the community, email addresses can be easily changed.
Also in general, it anyone asks you to do anything the least bit different and you are using PayPal, take the time to look up the issue and see if you are covered.

Thanks Lucille. The e-mail that you need to be concerned about right now is tu_yo.68@outlook.es as I have stated above.
If you read my e-mail I will cast blame no one or make public until I am 100% sure so there is no need to add any additional e-mails except for the one I did. IF however you have been scammed from this e-mail or the tactics I have described above please PM me. This individual has not changed his or her e-mail even though I am aware of open cases across a good length of time so until I can confirm with the authorities and cross reference what other people have dealt with this; this is the info which by me even mentioning it in the first place helps out the "community".
