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.

If I had only checked out the posts about her on here before buying, I would have never sent her the money!! Anyway, I sent Angela a money order for 7 baby ball pythons, well, this was last week. She should have had the animals to me last week, but didn't. She said that she would get them out on Monday or Tuesday of this week and would send me the tracking number, still nothing! She hasn't replied to my last e-mails. I asked her to PLEASE send them out on Monday so I would recieve them on Tuesday because my 3 year old cousin is in Children's Hospital in ICU, he's in really bad shape and I needed to be with him on Wednesday. Well, here is her reply:

unfortunately it is going to be tomorrow before i can get them shipped as because of loosing a filling last night and seeing my dentist this morning i now have to have oral surgery this afternoon. They will go out however tomorrow and i will email you a tracking number as soon as they give it to me. once again sorry for any inconvenience but i did not plan on the oral surgery.

Now she isn't returning my e-mails. Grrr! I have to say, I have been buying reptiles off of Kingsnake.com for quite a while, and I have , for the most part, been pleased with almost everyone that I had delt with. I have even delt with the "small" guys that haven't built a name for themselves yet, and everyone has been great, but so far this deal is leaving a bad taste! If she does come through, I will gladly let everyone know, but I am seriously having my doubts. I just wanted to let you guys know about my headache with her and let you guys decide for yourselves if you want to deal with her. I have already filled out numerous reports for fraud, but I am giving her until Thursday to either send me the snakes or send me a refund. Is their any other reports that I could consider? My sister and her husband live in IL, I guess that I could always get the cops and investigators up there involved. I really started getting edgy when she never sent me her phone number after several requests, and she never told me which carrier she used. I know, I should have asked those questions before hand, and if she couldn't tell me, then I should have avoided the deal, but with the problem with my cousin, it totally slipped my mind. Anyway, if she comes through, I will let everyone know, but until then, you guys can draw your own conclusions.

Sorry to hear you are having such a hard time. I placed an order for 10 baby balls and sent in a deposit of around 20%. I started getting this nagging little feeling not to send the remaining balance so I did not. Thats about the time everyone started saying how many problems they were having. From what I have found noone has anything positive to say. Their reputation is off to a rocky start for sure.

Well, like Ive stated MANY times, how you start off will dictate how well you'll do in the long run. Now Im curious:
1) As she made contact yet ? If not, even if she does make good, its still poor business.
2) Someone was supposed to do a trade with them for a game system. They also claimed how confident he was on his deal with them. My question is: Its been almost a week now, have you completed your trade ? Were you happy ?
3) Daniel, did they EVER give you a way to contact them ?
4) They stated they would list their phone number the last time they responded here ? Why havent they ? Its been almost a whole week.
Im still not 100% for sure that their bad JUST yet. But again, their not looking good either. Im, at least, at a point that any excuse will fall short in my book (I bought the first ones) . But that's me. I hope you get your animals soon, I hope their as nice and healthy as they claim and I hope your cousin gets well soon.

Sacha ,
I'm glad that you got a bad feeling about it and backed out, looks like your instincts paid off! She still hasn't e-mailed me back...bad business! If she hasn't contacted me by 11<img src="http://www.faunaclassifieds.com/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/wow.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':0'>0p.m., I am sending in all of the reports and complaints. I sent her my phone number, so there is no excuse for her not contacting me. Does anybody know how I can track down her phone number? I have her address.

Also, does anyone know the phone # of the IL police dept.? My sister will be going back to IL in about 2 weeks, but I really would like to get the police dept. phone number before that. I guess I should have known that the prices were too good to be true, that should have been a big red flag! Alot of you guys say that she never returned e-mails, she returned mine, and told me that she had the animals, gave me a total for the quantity I ordered and sent her address. I thought all was good. I had no reason to suspect that she was going to turn out to be a real pain! After I kept asking about when she would get the snakes sent out, she stopped e-mailing me. Then I come to this forum and look her up and see all of the things that some of you had to say about her, then that's when I got really edgy. Maybe if so much hadn't been going on, I would have thought more clearly before sending her the money for the snakes. If she doesn't come through, I will make sure everyone knows about her! Until she comes through, everyone beware! I don't want you guys to have the headache that I have had with her! I will know for now on to come here first and ask around, this is a great forum and I think Kingsnake should have one as well!

Christy....After your post, you got me curious, so I just called the IL information for the numbers you're looking for....well, there is NO number for the name and address you gave....but... the number for the Havana, IL Police Department is: 1-309-343-3321

Neil,
Thanks a million for that phone number! I will give them a call and see what can be done. It's really fishy that she doesn't have a phone number and that she never posted it like she said she would at the other thread. We know that she obviously has access to someone's phoneline or she wouldn't be online. I'm curious to know if the person ever traded his game system for the snakes, or did he get burned. Who knows, it could be Angela trying to make herself look good by posting under a different name. From what I remember, the guy was able to contact her on the phone....odd! When she was communicating, she brushed off my many requests for her phone number. I seriously doubt that she has the animals that she claims to have.

Joe and the rest,
Don't recall having ever seen her complete info. I honestly hope they prove me wrong but as I stated in a previous post, too many red flags right from the start.
Best regards

I am switching my phone service provider (which is supposed to be done by this evening) and as soon as this is done I will post my number on here and in my ads.</td></tr></table><span id='postcolor'>
Thought that she supposed to post her phone number as promised.
First, couldn't check email because afraid of floating virus
Now, couldn't ship because of personal problem
What will be the next excuse???

To "Mighty" Jeff "Have-alot-of-Money", the only Have-a-herp's reference, the only one who can speak personally to "Angelas fiancee",
Don't you think it's about time for you to posted her phone number so that everyone who had dealt with her can contact her? (Since Angela and her fiancee were having some personal problems so that they "probably" can't post their phone number) <img src="http://www.faunaclassifieds.com/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=' '> <img src="http://www.faunaclassifieds.com/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=' '>
