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.

He was on the edge, but the free shipping sealed the deal I'm sure.
Thanks for sharing Justin.

Been getting emails from "him" as well.
Anytime someone asks me for my "final price", and then willingly adds an additional $50.00 to it for no apparent reason, all signs point to "Scam".

Yeah he contacted me about purchasing an animal today wanting to use the exact same payment "method". Obvious Scammer set-up, but this is good information for those not familiar with payment scams like this. Definitely a scammer.

He tried with me too. Got him to send a check, sent 2750 for a 1200 dollar snake. Now he's assured me, without doubt, that the check cleared and would I please send him his extra 1500 back. I told him to come here and I'll give him the cash...along with his birthday present!
Then, just this morning, he sent me a new email, asking if the animal is still available, and that he would send me an extra 50 if I took the listing down and saved it for him - just like his first email. He's probably in Nigeria, judging by certain flags I see in his communications. But he doe's have a US cell number, which is unusual for these crooks to expose. Sure wish he'd come here to collect his money!

He says he'll add 50, but with me he added 1500, hoping I'd send him the money when his fake check bounced. It appeared to be a bank check, but
it's a fraud.
