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.

UPDATE:
Ever wonder just how far reaching the BOI can be to someone especially outside of the virtual world? Here is a great example of it reaching out and slapping some scammers in the face thanks to the hard work of MANY people. In the background, there have been hundreds of PMs, data mining, monitoring, alerts to potential victims, etc. In short it has been incredible to see this all come together and everyone pitch in, stick up for one another and take a stand to watch out for our community.
So what is the update??
I will try to be brief as this is still in progress. All of the information gathered by everyone was condensed into a precise format and sent to law enforcement. It was sent to more than one jurisdiction in both TN & VA, where the Owens reside and have been scamming from. Know that law enforcement IS actively going after Owens. We are working with detectives from all jurisdictions. All of the addresses that have been submitted by Fauna users have been and are still being visited physically by detectives. Family members of Owens are being spoken to and they are currently helping feed the police information. Detectives have spoken to Owens himself, who besides being 100% totally caught off guard and scared, swears his friend was doing the scamming. Owens, who is on probation right now, was ordered to come to one police station and bring his mysterious "friend". He did not appear, is now hiding, and better yet has now violated his probation.
I will leave it at that for now, but as you read this Lance & Jessica, enjoy some payback and a hefty "screw you" from your friends on Fauna! We are continuing to feed the police further details and will do so as we gather even more. Sweet dreams Owens!
Thank you again everyone for your hard work.

The power of Fauna spidering it's way through the web of the internet, 2nd and 3rd spot.
I wonder who else can find information on Lance simply by typing his name?

UPDATE 2:
As many of you know, people have posted warnings on Craigslist regarding Lance & Jessica in his local area. Below is a forwarded response to one of those warnings. Think Lance is watching this thread?
