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.

Waiting for resolution on a yellow ackie I purchased form Joel Velasquez. He led me to believe that the ackie was flawless (I specifically asked about injuries, and he replied 'she's beautiful'). When I received the ackie, she had a very swollen foot with damaged toes. It looks fairly recent and was not in the picture Joel sent me before my purchase. He explained that it was an old injury and is all healed, which sounds misleading to me. I have since emailed him, asking for a $50.00 price adjustment to offset vet bills or at least to amend a bad deal. At the very least, I'd like him to respond and attempt to right a wrong. I think the ackie will be ok, but it looks like an infection and I don't want to compromise her health or the health of my other ackies, so a check up may be necessary.
When did you purchase and when did Joel Velasquez ship to you? Can you post the photo that was used in the ad before your purchase? Is he a Fauna member?
While it doesn't look like a recent festering, infectious mess, it is apparent by the swelling she needs medical attention and the seller may have been less than honest and not exactly a caring, concerned keeper.
Please post whatever other info you have; photos, email or texts, phone #, address he shipped from, etc.
I will hold off on posting the chain of emails that clearly shows Joel was misleading about the injury. I will wait to see if he aims to remedy this issue.
In the mean time, here are the pics he sent me before I made the purchase. You cannot see any swelling, which means this was probably an old pic or another animal with similar appearance. I also posted the original ad.
Joel Velasquez is definitely a 'Bad Guy.' He promised he would amend this issue and never got back to me. He essentially tricked me into buying an injured animal. Fortunately, I intend on providing a good life for the this ackie regardless of injuries. I'll post all the details later.
