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.

To Whom It May Concern,
This seller is an extreme fraud and has just scammed me out of $500 ! The good part is, we've figured out who it is and will definitely deal with this outside of the law and when they least expect it. They won't even see it coming !

It would be nice to have some facts. However, how are you any better than this other party is if you revel in your plans to 'deal with this outside the law'?

Damn, that sucks. I just got hit by this, well, guy as well. Mine is almost resolved via paypal. I wont condone handling such issues "outside of the law", however, whatever he has coming to him, he fully deserves, and I will enjoy it
This is why, anytime I do a transaction or potential transaction, I will search and/or inquire about the other party here.

Well if you decide to video tape how you handle this I would recommend not posting it.

I'm with Kevin and Ron. send a link if you do as you say-"handle outside the law".
Maybe handling things outside the law will teach some lessons! Its proven that when dealt with by the law,you get a smack on the palm of your hand and a fine less then the op is out.. Not even the backside of the hand with more nerves.
Its also proven that about 80% felons commit another crime and go back to prison.
I say handle more of these scumbags with our own methods as long as it hurts know body but the intended !!! IMO> Maybe they will get it. Some countries still cut off your hand for stealing! How many of them people are running around with NO HANDS?? NONE>

I was going to refrain from commenting at the risk of this getting bumped up..yet again but this is getting ridiculous.
"handling things outside of the law" is NEVER a good option, and the continuation of posts urging the OP and others to act on these urges is going to hurt the hobby that many people hold dear. It may not affect it today, or tomorrow or next month but I doubt the first person to release their pet burm thought it would affect the hobby as much as it did.
Especially in america, herp keepers are already seen as kindof "fringe" pet owners and someone getting plastered all over the news for harming, (or worse) another person over a reptile. Do not take me as saying oh it's "just" a snake, or lizard but it's not fair to inflict YOUR possible stupidity on the rest of the hobby. In simple terms, while "harming" someone who treats their pets badly may save you a handful of animals you may end up ruining it for millions of people who keep their animals responsibly. There are better ways to avoid these situations, mainly researching who you are buying and selling from/to, and preaching responsible keeping to as many people trying to get into the hobby.
This thread is a gross misuse of the BOI (IMHO) and I am deeply bothered by the fact that such a wonderful tool that has helped so many is being used to fuel some ego stroking feel good vigilante ideas.
