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.

On January 27th, I gave Nathan about $250, for some Loggerhead musk turtles he was offering. He said he was leaving for Florida that weekend, and I told him that was ok, to contact me when he got back to arrange for shipping.
I contacted him on January 30th to see how he made out in Florida, and he said he was still in Florida and asked if it would be ok to ship the following week. I said this was ok.
On February 6th, he contacted me and said he was still in Florida, but picked up some K. s. hippocrepis in his travels. He was also going to get some K. s. steindachneri, but said he hadn't made it that far.
This was the last communication I have had with him. His number is now disconnected, and he also pulled a no show on a meet up to deliver some turtles with another breeder last Tuesday.
If anyone hears from him, please let him know this thread is out there, and that he is being called into question.

How do you know he pulled a no show on a delivery meet last Tuesday?
(Note - be careful with your response, remember, this is the BOI)

I also forgot to mention that I contacted him on 2/14, and did not receive a response.

I was contacted today by another breeder in Florida asking if I had heard from Nathan, because they were supposed to meet up last Tuesday, and he never showed.

That's what I thought....and why I added that note. Anonymous third party quotations are not admissible on the BOI. You can't post that somebody told you something without identifying the source.

An amendment to my initial post-
I was contacted by chelidman/Paul V (also registered here) asking if I had heard from him, as they were supposed to meet up last Tuesday, but Nathan did not show.

Because I am the one he pulled a no-show on.
I sent him a somewhat substantial (4-figures) payment at the end of January. We were supposed to meet near Tampa, FL after I got off work around 6PM on 2/14, after Nathan had already backed out of two previous arrangements to meet on 2/4 and 2/12. The last time I spoke to Nathan on 2/12, he told me he would not be able to make it after all, but would definitely meet me after I got home from work on 2/14. After I got no response to my confirmation text on 2/14, I tried calling him only to find his phone had been disconnected.
I'm not trying to slam Nathan, simply stating the facts as they are. I am still holding out hope that he'll make right with me, but given that his phone is still disconnected and I have not heard from him via any other means, I can't say I'm vry optimistic.

Agreed. I only posted this in hopes that the word will get back to him to at least touch base rather than leave anyone hanging. I am still interested in the turtles, but if he doesn't have them, I just want my money back and call it a wash.
