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.

The name sounds very familiar to an exporter located in Egypt that supposedly has a US partner that is a major rip off scam artist. Please post more information and I will see if it is the same person(s).

Thanks Rob . I'll ask them to ship first if i decide to import with them, but still, i'd feel safer if someone actually could tell me that they've dealt with them before...

It is a good idea to get them to ship up front but there are allot of legitimate exporters that have been taken by scrupulous importer in the US and Canada and do not want to ship on terms. Good luck with them if you do try and import.

small research about them
There is a suspect...
Maria Milusheva
General Manager
African Animals (T) Ltd.
P.O. Box 105426
Dar es Salaam
Tanzania
As the General Manager of African Animals(T) Ltd., Maria Milusheva is telling us her buisness is located in Tanzania. And here comes the suspect...
The Internet connection she was sending the emails from IP [83.228.6.31]
is according to my research hosted at a provider from eastern europe:
inetnum: 83.228.0.0 - 83.228.31.255
netname: BTC-BROADBAND-NET
descr: BTC Broadband Service
country: BG
address: BTC Plc
address: Bulgarian Telecommunications Company Plc
address: 8 Totleben Blvd.
address: 1606 Sofia
address: Bulgaria
Of course the fact that she is accesing from Bulgaria does not answer if African Animals (T)Ltd. is real and honest or not but to me it looks like something is rotten here (to many bad storys are known about the tanzanzian exporters). Another point is that the general manager is managing his/her business from the other end of the world and asks 100% payment in advance. As I request references from them they tell me ''after you order''.
Matching to the Bulgarian origin is also her name (if it's real?) ''Maria Milusheva'' which sounds very eastern european. But there are also positive points for example her english which looks to good to be african and the professionalism their website is made up.
Also the professionalism they have their pricelist made and the way they answer your requests. And again-this does not tell us if they are honest or not.
She told me that after I order I can transfer the money on an european account, maybe to Bulgaria?
However I never did any business with them so I can't say something bad about them.
Would be great to get some feedback from people that worked already with them.

I'd be very wary of them and besides you have to do a ton of paperwork before you can import any critter. ...Randy
