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.

You can't have too much of an idea how online businesses work (not saying these all are). The people who spend lots of time on here are usually people that sell services/animals on the internet. Those people have to spend time on here posting and talking to people to further their business. Do you not spend time at work to make money? Same concept here. So I can understand why so many people are on here all the time. Not to mention, it's probably very upsetting to honest people when there's somebody blatantly trying to scam.
There's also people that spend time on here trying to help others by responding to questions and making sure the owner is knowledgeable enough to take care of their animal(s). You know why? Because they CARE and are good hearted people.
Than there's the category that quite possibly you fall into, the ones who spend all day searching for people to scam like they're pray. You sir are preying on good people that work hard and are passionate about their animals. Can you honestly say you have never been so passionate about something you didn't spend a ton of time on it? People have to exploit the ones like you otherwise this hobby would have been ruined by scammers. It's hard being new here and people like you sir are making it hard for us 'newcomers'. People are becoming less likely to offer advice out of fear that this is a scammer and is just trying to dig up information through asking a lot of questions. I hope you make good on this just out of it's the right things to do. People like you are ruining this forum, and I'll go as far as to say this world.
On another note, I want to say thank you to you guys who continue to help newcomers! You guys are great!

He falls into the category of a little kid who scammed someone out of goods. Karma will find you.

Quick question? Since Steven has been found out that he's using other people pictures to scam other people, then why is he allowed to post ads here at all? Isn't that just asking for him to scam someone else?

Steven sent a PM requesting his account be closed. He has no account now to advertise anything..... but he could still respond to someone's ad wanting to trade,or sell etc.

Hopefully people do their research before buying or trading with anyone. Unfortunately in this world there are people with no morals that will kill their mother for a buck.

Personally, I feel bad for Jimmy that his name is tagged with this mess. I've known Jimmy for a few yrs & all his animals are legit, top notch & he will always try to give you a good deal. I've gotten at least 6 snakes from him & they have all been exactly what he said they were, if not better. (with the exception of the African Rock ) ...she may be tame, but she still scares the crap outta me! lol
As for Steve....just give it up Dude....you're out numbered & the evidence supports everyone's claims against you. People know where you live as well as who your family is. Just try to make right on your current deals.
All you need to do is piss off the wrong person & before you know it, they'll be at your house! People are crazy like that.
