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.

Thanks for the tip Nick!!! Right now I'm working from my IPad and IPhone but perhaps tomorrow I can airdrop some pictures from my iPhone to my Mac. One at a time will take way too long. But I will post the pictures that George Wilson sent me just to see if anybody recognizes them.

George Wilson
He approached me for a trade a few days ago. He offered to trade me a tneg female blood and a female banana pied for some of hognose snakes. I started getting a bad feeling about the trade when he told me that he didn't know the value of the banana pied. He told me that his brother produced her.
We began exchanging texts. During those texts he began telling me about his very high end turtle collection. He then began sending me numerous pictures of some of "his" turtles. After receiving some of those pictures, I couldn't help but think that they (the pictures) looked familiar. The next day I began researching and discovered that he used a picture that belonged to Mike Fezden (it was an albino snapping turtle). I contacted Mike and told him about it. He didn't know Mr. Wilson.
Another massive red flag that arose was when his reference, Ian from outback reptiles, didn't know who he was.
Looking back, the whole thing was screwy from the get-go. No one knew him (which seemed weird with the types of animals he supposedly works with). He's using other peoples pictures (without their permission!), his references don't check out and he refused to ship first.
After I pointed out some of my concerns, he quickly became defensive and told me that he did not want to trade with me because something seemed off on my end.
Thanks,
-Steve Ingram

I recognize several of those photos as belonging to others and not him and of course the hands shown in them are connected to a variety of different people.
He is aware of this thread, but has not addressed anything here. Probably working on the next false name to perpetuate his activities.
