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.

ya I understand what you mean by that. ill keep that in mind for the future.
unfortunately for these scammers.....nothing was left out or edited at all. its a good thing Jeremy chimed in on this thread and opened his scammer mouth about stuff being left out and offering screen shots. NOTHING was left out so I cant wait for his response. id almost bet money he wont reply with any screen shots because he is going to prove to everyone on his own that he is infact lying. I cant wait for his reply to be honest with you.

Perhaps your "invertebrates manager" Phil could share his side of the story. I assume that since you've been registered here for 6 years that Phil is as well?

that's what I'm hoping to!! phil needs to chime in as well. feel free to upload screen shots!! that's the beauty of the BOI. you can speak your side. but like I said...everything posted in the original post is complete and accurate so I cant wait to see how they try to wiggle out of this one.
I know the thread is a little confusing and long. I would've been more organized if this wouldn't have been such a surprise to me as well.
at this point, I'm glad I didn't post screen shots because that allowed Jeremy to state that "parts are missing".....thus trapping himself once again because he knows nothing is missing.

I'm still missing the point as to why YOU cannot post screenshots…..

I'm going to chime in because I've also been in the invertebrate side of the hobby for a long time, and have seen this before.
What I'm seeing is this: the suspect is selling Hottentotta hottentotta (a commonly imported and bred species), as a much rarer (actually unheard of) Androctonus togolensis.
I have been keeping scorpions for nearly 10 years now, and I have never once seen this species in the hobby. I find it extremely hard to believe that they would just happen to randomly be thrown into a shipment, and be able to be ID'd by a nonprofessional (the suspect).
The closest thing I could compare this to for non-bug people would be fake hets.
Very sketchy indeed.

thank you bobtard!! not only only are they extremely rare, Phil (the importer) said they are not togolensis. he admitted that himself prior to selling them as togolensis.
magic maker....I posted copies of my correspondence with both Jeremy and phil. you can choose to believe it or not. I couldn't care less really. why don't you direct your comments to Jeremy who said he would post screen shots?!?! he is the one in the wrong and if you think its a coincidence that he hasn't posted screen shots after he said he would, that's on you to believe. I was intentionally not posting screen shots so Jeremy would have to! he says I left I stuff out. that's not accurate...hence why he hasn't posted anything since.
ill post a few screen shots once I figure out how. hopefully to ease your mind. youll see that nothing has been altered at all...not even spelling and grammer.
for the record.....I currently have over 500 scorpions of many many different species. currently I have 11 species of androctonus, three quarters of which are really rare....specially in the states. if they would've been togolensis, I would've bought them ALL at $30 each no problem!!

Given the fact that your rating on here is very poor I take your credibility with a grain of salt. It's pretty obvious that you do care if we believe your story otherwise you would've posted it here in the BOI. I will not comment on who I think is right or wrong because I don't know if the information you presented is true or false.

maybe you should read my reviews and then make a judgment of my character because only a few bad apples can ruin a rating. to be honest, I don't care of you or anyone else believe me at all. I really don't. what I care about is that phil and Jeremy get exposed and other people can red this thread and make a decision based off that. ill sleep better at night knowing I did my part.
ill post some screen shots. you can read them or not. youre picking on me and trying to ruin my credibility when you should be asking the idiots who ran this scam to defend themselves. hence the reason why I think you should focus your attention on other threads because clearly you are taking the wrong side. in my mind, that actually makes you part of the problem.
p.s. you are brand new to this website and honestly...I don't care for your opinion. just be a spectator and observe. maybe youll learn something.
pps.....now you can reply with some smart remark.
