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.

Taproot reptiles
Has anyone ever dealt w/ Stacey Smith of Taproot Reptiles? Stacey cashed a deposit of mine and has never been heard from since. I do like to help out the unfortunate and needy w/ donations but from the K.S. ads and e-mails, I was under the impression my money would be used to buy goods(tortoises). Go figure! I can't believe I go to work everyday to make an honest living when I could be ripping people off from the comfort of my own home. Anyway, any info would be appreciated. Just in case there is an identity question:
Stacey Smith
3825 Nansemond Cir
Norfolk VA 23513
By the way, check was cashed on Dec. 26.
Thanks.

What were the terms of your deposit?
If you made a deposit, I would think that these would be for animals not yet produced or in their hands? Not sure.
I understand your frustration as they could keep in contact, but again, what was the 'deal' as far as deposit and then when to pay the rest off? What were you to receive? When to receive?
No reason for them not communicating, but their has to be more to it than this.

taproot
Check was a deposit that was cashed on the 26th of Dec. Animals advertised were supposedly produced by Taproot and available immediately for shipping. I spoke with Stacey and we agreed on a payment plan: a deposit now and the rest by Jan 20. Like I said, this was the agreement and the last contact from Stacey was an e-mail on Dec 26 saying the check deposit has been received. Despite several e-mails I have sent Stacey well before the deadline of Jan 20, I have yet to hear anything from Taproot.
