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.

Credit card fraud!
I have been hit for the first time by someone using my credit card number without my consent.
I have to say, my credit union is A+ on top of things! They called me IMMEDIATELY after someone charged 4 fraudulent items to my account.
Whoever it was, these were the charges made:
TLG*COMPLETHME CT
TLG*AUTOVANTGE CT
TLG*GREAT FUN CT
BLOCKBUSTER ONLINE TX
All the charges will be reversed, and the card is now defunct. Does anyone recognize those places???
The last 4 places I used my card were with ReptileGuru (who I doubt would do such a thing) and 3 merchants on amazon.com for reptile book purchases. I have already contacted amazon.com regarding this matter.
So PLEASE, everyone, be careful! Keep an eye on your bank account! I have had fraud protection on my accounts for 4 years now, and I love it!

The Buster online may be your best bet at getting this low life scum. It is like Netflicks where you make a list online of what movies you want to see and they mail them to you. So chances are they made an account with them in your name but the movies would have to come to a address. Chances are it would have to be somewhere close to them if not them. They are probably going to be keeping the movies as well. Here is their link:

Maybe you can have the local police contact them and catch the thieving piece of dung.

Funny, blockbuster could get in a heap of trouble for having things sent to an address not registered to the card. They are not open until Monday, but you can be sure, I will be calling them then and demanding to know why this happened.

I should add, that it is definitely one of two of the amazon.com merchants. We're narrowing it down as I type. One merchant contacted me immediately and says she cannot accept credit cards, so she is given payment directly from amazon. I used my business account with RG, so its not them.
Beware when doing business with sellers on amazon!

I'm guessing its some sort of marketing scam and someplace I bought from handed over my cc information to someone.
