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.

Steve Shillingford - reptilz2011@hotmail.com - Scammer
Here's this dudes scam - ordering animals - having his "friend" pay for it - then after the animals are shipped the "friend" disputes the paypal and paypal will refund the "friend because the animals weren't shipped to the "friends" address.
The amount of money in my transaction was small - but other people apparently weren't so lucky
My dispute is still on going with paypal - but here's a link I just came across where this guy has pulled the same crap - and below are the emails - I posted as many as I could find - but I get over 50 a day so it was no easy task finding these.

Hi Steve,
No I did not receive in time for my UPS run
I will verify it was done when I get back to the facility tomorrow.
Shipping on a thursday is a no go for me.
If the package gets delayed it would get held over the weekend
instead of being delivered the next day.
I can ship Monday - Tuesday - Wednesday
Just let me know your preference. Thanks

Give me 2 weeks, and I'll get the money to you.

I gave him 2 weeks - but my time was running out with the paypal dispute - and today I came across those other threads with him pulling this same scam.
So just giving everyone a heads up. Lesson learned on letting "friends" pay for items.
