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.

That's what I was thinking Steve. Has anyone directed Kylie to this thread? Or asked her of her opinion of her dealings so far? I'm not saying it's not a possibility, but given my limited knowledge of Kylie's past behavior and manner I don't think she would be in on the scam. I don't know her personally, but have considered doing business with her and the only reason I didn't was that I found what I wanted cheaper, older, and quicker. Would love to hear what she has to say about her experience and see that unboxing.

I don't think anyone has accused them of scamming and not sending animals. I think most are upset by their unscrupulous business practices, i.e. little quarantine, false advertising (which is still being used), and the lies. Asking members to be silent and let it ride kind of defeats the purpose of the BOI IMO.

I am not trying to "argue" with you by any means Nick, I understand each of the points you are making and respect them (as well as many of the other fine people who have posted on this topic). I just think that since we are questioning these folks' honesty, we should make 100% certain that WE are all working with and relaying correct information ourselves, and hold ourselves to the same standard. We could sit here all day and speculate ways that they could possibly be screwing people over, but when some people take that speculation and run with it as fact, that's when the waters get really muddy.

I understand your point Cathy, but speculation is a result when lies are told. I think speculation is what reveals people for what they truly are in the end.

From my understanding they are correcting the add and TOS, has it been fixed or still remains the same?

Some of it has been fixed, but not all of it, thanks to the nay-sayers

Yep, lies will always make some of us sit up and take notice, inquire and analyse.

Hey, Jeff Byers Here. I'm in Hamm Germany right now but it was brought to my attention that I am being associated with this Zack Byers fellow. I don't know him and I am of no relation to him. I'll read all this and address it further when I get back home.
