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.

I don't like people who do the scam attempts, it really bugs me because it's pretty much the same message with a different country.
It bugs me a lot because the 1st time those came out, I almost fell for it - I gave the guy my address and everything for the MO & the shipper to pick up  ! Before receiving the MO, I was speaking with someone who wanted to buy the same enclosure from me. He informed me that it's a scam and explained the details to me and I saw examples online  I was so embarrassed, but I was saved at the end.
Grr @ Scams

What they do is send you a check for $4000. You're supposed to keep the value of the animal and send the rest to their "Shipper". They will pressure you to send the rest (say $3500 for example) very quickly after you get the check. The reason: it's a fake, and it will take a few days for the bank to figure it out (mail it to the processing center, processit, etc). You've already sent the guy $3500, and now the bank realized it's fake and is coming back to you for the $4000 fake check. All in all: scammer got $3500 and it's your problem.

Yeah, spread the word, too, so everybody knows the scam and nobody gets taken in any more. Heck, I just heard about this scam a couple months ago. If I hadn't I might have fallen for it.

Yep, thats why I posted this... so this will get out to folks that are new to Fauna. I 1st heard about it 4-5 years ago, someone tried it with me but I just ignored it cause it seemed like some money laundering going on or just something plain fishy!
