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.

schisto aka exusia supply
I posted this in the Canadian BOI, but figured I should put it on the American side, too.
I contacted Schisto not too long ago, and the email I received in response was from "exusia supply". There is another thread here indicating that exusia supply and Steve Christian are names used by Steve Shillingford. I have also found indications that ads by posted Steve Shillingford on other sites have been replied to by exusia supply, which seems to give some confirmation to this ID.
I don't know if there is a "Nick"; but given that "Weaver" was originally the location entry for that account, and it got added to the name after the account was contacted regarding the full name requirement in our classifieds, I consider it suspect.

I have seen this person's ads, and they have always struck me as shady. I saw the location listed as "Weaver" several months ago. I posted a question asking where Weaver is...no reply. Now, the information has changed as reflected in Harald's post.
In his first ads, you could not get any information about available animals, pricing, etc. unless you posted your email address.
Recently, the ad stated that he is only looking for customers that are not connected to a Florida based importer. That strikes me as strange. It almost makes me wonder if he is looking for customers with little experience dealing with importers.
He also stated in an ad that he can obtain and legally import Homopus sp. and that he has contacts in Madagascar. That is some highly regulated stuff right there! I'm not saying it is impossible, but you have to really scrutinize someone that makes these claims.
I would really be interested in hearing from someone that has done business with this person. I contacted a fairly well connected friend in Canada. He had never heard of him.

schisto
I replied to one of his ads about wholesale monitors and asked him to send me a price list of the monitors he had. I got a huge wholesale list of animals, thats about ten pages long. He responded as NICK schisto@ymail.com.

Looks like another alias for Steve Shillingford (he has dozens, and those are just the ones we know about). This guy has no animals; he uses other peoples' lists and pics. He just marks up the price, then has the supplier send you animals, IF you get anything at all. The dude is rotten as regurga-mouse. Avoid like the plague.
