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.

This is one of the saddest and most confusing threads I have ever read. Mike, I am sorry you lost your snakes to a scammer. I feel you had good intentions of posting this, and might not have thought that it would affect others by posting a retraction of it, or that it would blow up this much. Its a hard lesson to learn and Im sorry that it came about this way. Take away from it a couple of things, like shipping legally if you ever do again, if it sounds too good to be true it probably is, and dont lie to cover your own butt or to try to "solve" things.

Well now I'm even more skeptical because this guy texted me looking to trade for my pastel champagnes. But said his name was Arnold and not michael gentry.

Fernando, how did you figure out that your "Arnold" is connected to the mysterious Mike Gentry?

Same guy texted me wanting to trade for a female stinger bee. Comversation started he introduced himself as Michael Ledbetter. After several conversations I agreed to a deal( couldn't find anything bad about a Michael Ledbetter) , and ask him for his shipping info then he sent me am address but now his name was Michael Gentry. Exact same address listed in this thread. He won't talk to me after asking him to explain this thread, or atleast whybhis name changed

Looks like reinventing is his only alternative here. Whoever he is.

Property Owner and Mailing Address
Jan 1 Owner:
ROBINETTE SANDRA K

Got to get off to work, but perhaps someone can run with this until I get off work.
