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.

I think I just lost money too with this guy
I did send him funds via paypal friends so I think I am screwed. Any ideas on how to get my money back? Does anyone have a full address for this guy, I will gladly file a police report on this if anyone wants to join me.

It would seem so, esp. by what has been said, but is turtledan77, and Pixie77, the same person?
It is not looking good.

Based on the Paypal address, it appears so at this point. I think they had different locations in their profiles, too.

You can make the attempt via Paypal, but the manner in which it was sent may thwart the possibility of resolution due to the terms.
If you used a credit card to provide the funding via Paypal, then you could try to go through your credit card issuer.

I would say that is already apparent. Initiate with Paypal (assuming you did not also send via the friends and family gift option).

I can clarify that - he is banned for 7 days because he failed to comply with instructions to put his full name in his profile. My personal feeling is that the name on the account is bogus...but I was giving him an opportunity to correct it before pursuing that. (Just like I did recently with another participant in this thread that had an incomplete, and wrong, name in his profile.) I'm leaning toward the location being incorrect, as well.
I do fully anticipate that the account will end up being permanently banned, but he might surprise me.

If it helps, the paypal acct he used for Pixie77 was herpstation@yahoo.com. That was listed for Charles Washington out of Miami FL. He sent me bogus images from another email address which was d_mcdaniel2@aol.com

People really need to start thinking...
The person had an incomplete name in his profile <STOP>
The name on the PayPal account didn't match the name of the person with whom you were dealing. <STOP>
The person requests payment as Gift (Friends/Family) <STOP>
