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.

J&M EXOTICS (John Payseng) Inquiry
Has anyone here had any dealings (good or bad) with John Payseng of J&M Exotic Center (Lake City, FL)?
I had always heard that he is a straight up person, but he stopped by and purchased $1178.50 of animals from us, and the check bounced. After leaving several messages on his cell phone voice mail, he called me back and explained his circumstance, and promised to meet me at the Daytona show with half of the money for the check. He did not show, or call (as he promised), and now his cell phone # is disconnected. I offered him any time he needed to pay the amount, but asked that he keep in contact.
I am sure this is out of charactor for him, and hope for a speedy resolution to this mess. how do some of you all handle a mess of this type? I would like to avoid turning it over to the state attorney, as it is a felony, and I do not wish to have to put him through further problems like that. Any suggestions will be greatly valued.
ps- I am able to scan the returned check and post it if that is the proper proceedure for this BOI.
Blessings
Ray Hunter

Well, time answered my own inquirey. Yesterday I had to turn this matter over to the Sheriff's Department. A felony warrant will be issued for John Paysengs arrest. John has not answered any of my calls or e-mails, nor has he contacted me to let me know what he wants to do about the bad check he wrote me. Several other reptile dealers informed me that they too had recieved bad checks by this same guy, but none (other than myself) have ever filed charges against him. I sure wish I could afford not to.

Ray...
Ray,
Just out of curiousity can you tell me what animals you sold him, he has emailed me numerous times to try to sell animals to me and I have old emails that may be of service to you. If he was trying to sell the animals that he bought illegally from you , maybe That will be something you can use..
