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.

Hec , in my humble opinion everything shows you guys are victim of a well planned, dishonest sale. It sounds like other than initially using a wrong photo for the animal he wanted to sell, comming up with a marketting glare, using words like hold back animal for sale was hopping and taking chances to sell the other animal with a cover up.
On the other hand , isnt owning a boa in NY illegal? I thought pythons, boa, even ball pythons and any constrictors that grow over 10 Ft are restricted. So careful

Not where I live. Why do you feel the need to bring that up? Stick to the more important issue. Stick to what the post is about. Sounds like you're an undercover Manny lover from my point of view.

Then your point of view seems askew.
Read the rest of the post. He expressed his belief in it being a scam. Attacking support with false allegations is a great way to lose an audience's favor.
He could have asked you more privately about the legality question, but it is not an unreasonable question and a common topic (legality in a particular location) that gets brought up in BOI threads.

This topic is not about location so I don't see the point of him bringing it up.

He can still bring it up since both parties involved may come under scrutiny (which can be typical).

I posted on this BOI to warn others of this scammer. Bringing my location up is suspicious. Sounds like he knows I have all the proof, but still wants to chime in on the other parties behalf. I've seen plenty of people defend the scammer on many occasions. His comment is a red flag.

That seems like quite a stretch, but suit yourself.

I agree with Nick 100% here, if you read through a lot of other BOI threads you will see the question of legailty due to location brought up numerous times. To say it has nothing to do with the thread at hand is ludicrous and getting snipy with your potential supporters is a sure path to self destruction imho.

My location has nothing to do with the thread. This thread was started by me to make people aware of this scammer. Nothing more nothing less. I'm not here for support. I'm here to make people aware. The proof is there. Whether people believe me or not is completely on them, but as far as me responding to this post anymore its a wrap! I'm done! I see where this is going. To those who read this just beware of Manny Frade. He is a scammer!

Maybe I'm just getting easily confused in my old age, but I could swear that your location was listed as Queens, NY yesterday. If someone mentioning your location is "suspicious," you choosing to change it seems doubly so.
