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.

Has anyone else received a business proposition from Mahmoud Massoud from Egypt?
Yesterday I received a price list of animals from Egypt. At first I thought it was just another one of "those", but then I noticed this person is a member of Fauna. Did anyone else here receive a business proposition from this individual? Was it a mass mailing?
Thanks,
Dan

I've gotten a few of them over the last couple months. I don't know if he's a scam or if he's an actual exporter.

Gene,
The problem is that he is registered in Fauna. I just wanted to know if he is using the database to put together his "customers" lists. Unless I register with a site I don't like receiving unsolicited e-mails.
Thanks.

Yep, it is a mass mailing. He sent one to me, and I don't even deal in reptiles. Looks like he was just grabbing the database.

I as well got a unsolicited email asking if I was interested in his list I did reply and received the list.
,There was something of great interest to me on there. He did email promptly, call me when asked,answered all my questions, price quoted me. Was prompt, polite, prices were fair. Seemed okay.
I looked at the website which was the first flag, now this. Guess it might be a no go. Is there any details on why he is "black listed". Says hes been around 25-30 years. Thats a long time to not be doing business.....

This thread has been moved from the General Business Discussions forum. The topic has progressed from the initial questions about unsolicited emails to that of business practices and related inquiries, which is definitely BOI material

I almost purchased a large quantity of reptiles from this man. I have a personal friend in Egypt who was to act as my middleman to insure I received my shipment, but after reading this I have since changed my mind. I am glad I did not send the money directly to him.

Thanks to gamal sabry for posting! Trading is hard enough (as the BOI shows) and international trading is even more likely to result in someone being scammed. Any cautions like this from our friends across the oceans is a great thing!
