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.

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.

I echo the same sentiments Susan. I myself have forwarded all documentation and provided FF&W with all that they requested of me. Now it's just a waiting game.
I think that he seriously thinks that this is all just a big joke and we are crying wolf to scare him. I guess he shall soon see.
In the end, we will all get the last laugh. The officer in charge of this investigation seemed very confident in the evidence and seemed hell bent on dealing with this poor excuse of a human life. I am thankful that we were assigned the officer that we were. My kind of guy for sure.
I know that I will more then likely never receive compensation for my business's loss, however the satisfaction of knowing that this guy is out of the hobby is worth much more then the dollar amount associated with my loss .

Patience is a Virtue Jeff and compensation can come in many different ways.

That's why I asked. There is no Tallahassee Sheriff's Dept. It's LCSO for Leon County Sheriff's Office. Or TPD for Tallahassee Police Dept.

That makes sense. I believe that I originally contacted the Tallahassee Police Dept and was then transferred to the Leon County Sheriff's Office by them. My mistake.

Steven continues his fraudulent activities.....
Wow, I can't believe this kid....now he's sold a "Spider het Pied" to
"Carols Critters", a pet store in Tallahassee that is very popular with the
college crowd.
Carol called me and left a message wanting to trade me a Spider het Pied for normal juveniles. Considering the number of normals she wanted from me, it seems she's got about $200+ into this deal.
At first I was definitely interested. I called her back to ask her where the Spider came from and to see if she got any paperwork on the genetics?
..."oh, yes there is paperwork. It came from a kid who just moved here from Jacksonville named Steven Miller". NO WAY is that Spider het for Piebald!
I just can't believe this crooked, deceitful and dishonest punk is ripping off more folks!! This guy has a serious problem.

Jeff were you paid? Steven continues to come into chat claiming you were paid. I think I know the answer, but figured I would ask.
Sad to see he was able to scam another person.
He has admitted to having multiple accounts here. So everyone should be aware. Watch for fake hets with paperwork. He also claimed to be picking up an albino het. pied today.
