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.

Buyers Beware of Marco Correia
He received his western union payment but answers no email or phone calles. I do have a legit address from East Providence Rhode Island is anyone from that area can help me. Never received my tort. He also uses the name Pet advantage. If anyone from that are can help I would appreciate it. Always use a secret question from western union. The buyer can check before shipment that it is there waiting. After shipment you can give the seller the secret answer. I trusted him and he seeme dlike a nice guy. Thanks Lisa lisaannlee@charter.net

You just got conned by...
a little crook named Pat Kane. He has used a load of fake names, I almost sent him money for some geckos but a few red flags went up. Luckily he was doing the same thing (with the same name) to others and I saw it on the BOI and avoided losing my money. Do a thread search on the BOI. This thread actually needs to be moved to the BOI!

What was the address
What was the address that he gave you in rhode island? There is a ongoing investigation of the gentleman listed above. Please contact the providence Rhode Island Police detective Bureau with your info and mention his name.
Give them the western union transaction # and any emails you got from him, expecially any info about his wanting to ship out a tort from Rhode Island.

Marco Correia
Pet Advantage, 313 Taunton Dr., East Providence, RI, 02914. Is the address. I will contact them it can't hrut at least he won't scam others. To reply to the post before this. I was the one who placed the add seeking an adult female sulcata. He responded with very real pics, called numerous times. Offered to let me make payments. Long story short, I never got my sulcata. He gave me references too but I/m sure they were his friends involved in the scam. Sad story, I will contact Rhode Island. Thanks Lisa
