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.

Exactly. Bare in mind though that a "threat" to him was something as little as someone texting him asking where their items and or cash was. I thought at first that this might have been something random that just happened to me however it seems like this fool just keeps on keeping on, trying to cheat as many people as he can. I could only get so lucky if he were to be dumb enough to show up at my house

Threats?
While I greatly appreciate your concern that I keep my doors locked,
I know Steven does not drive. The two times I met with him to give him the items he purchased from me (a bale of aspen and a dimmer switch) His Mother always drove him to meet me.
I live on acreage, I have a big German Shepherd who watches my evey move and I carry a gun too! So I am not worried about this guy Steven who in my opinion is shy, insecure and totally dependent upon parents or relatives to have a place to stay and exist. Steven preys on trusting people on the internet. I hope that FFWCC will keep up with him and I think his case needs to be passed on to the FBI.

How old do you suppose that Stephen really is?
Has anyone contacted his mother about his actions while living under her roof?

He's allegedly 23. Susan says she thinks he is in his 20's and Shawn confirms this as well.
When he pulled his stunt on me, the TSD went to his home, well his mom's home and alerted either Steven, his mom or all of the above to the problem. This is what prompted him to contact me that night after he had been ignoring me.
I can only guess that they just turn a blind eye to it.

You'd think they would have at least put him in Timeout

TSD is
Tallahassee Sheriff's Dept. Of course there is only Tallahassee Police Dept or Leon County Sheriff's Dept and I don't know exactly which agency contacted Steven. But it was a "courtesy visit" because internet crime is a federal jurisdiction and local law enforcement usually do not get involved. In this case, since Steven is in Florida trying to sell reptiles, it IS a case for Florida Wildlife Commission because it is illegal to sell reptiles without the proper license to do so. And then add using someone else's animal pictures saying they are his to sell to commit fraud and then not paying someone for goods delivered.....well, it appears that Steven is racking up quite a list for some kind of charges. I hope he gets charged with something along the way or else he will begin to refine his actions to get bigger and more bold in the
future.
