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.

Contributions could be made up to December 23, giving the moderator of the account a day to distribute the monies (if i got this right) and if there was anything left that could be donated to a herp society and the account closed.

Cheryl, Thanks so much! That's so sweet of you. 
I just checked out account and they refunded the whole thing, shipping too. This is truly a Blessing! I'll keep you posted on the others.
Blessings to all of you!
Kristi

You need to be careful about that. Any money would have to be a "Gift" or it could effect their chances in court. I also rather suspect it would let Mike off the hook for complete financial restitution. I want to see these families have a Merry Christmas as much as anyone~ but your going to want to be very careful.
Anyone seen Mike lately? It says he's not been online since just after Thanksgiving. Someone with his Phone # call him. I don't have his number~ he called me a few times a couple years ago when I had the Breast Cancer scare and he was having a cancer scare at the same time~ but I don't have much patience for "Drama" and I guess he got the idea that I wouldn't sit and listen to it so he stopped calling me.

Well Good!!!
I hope the others get their money too!
And tell me if you find a good LEGITIMATE deal on a PS3~ I need one for my boy too! (He's not excited about snakes~ he knows if I gave him a snake as a gift.....it would really be for me!)

This is just an idea, but I know paypal/ebay have these deals where they hold money in trust for some auctions, could those people who lost their playstations who do not receive their money back give their permission and then paypal administer this? There is no harm asking.

There's no worry there. He can still be prosecuted here in AZ even if the victims received donations to cover their losses.

Hi everyone!
This message is particularly for Tere who was kind enough to forward me the link for this thread! THANK YOU! I haven't read all the messages, but I did see that Kristi got her money back from PayPal! I am one of the other lucky winners who got stuck in Mike's PS3 scheme! How pitiful to do this at Christmas time! And Kristi, thanks for sending the link to PayPal. I will be calling them shortly, too!
And as far as the rest of you who have contributed to this post...you sound like wonderful people! Thank you!
Marianna
