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.

Dennis,
I could really use your help on this. I called the police department and am waiting for them to call me back to take a report. The lady I spoke with said she doesn't think it's a police issue. Any ideas? I'm pretty sure for the amount of money we're talking about, some form of law enforcement should be involved, and not just have it left up to Paypal and Ebay, correct?

Tere, you will be in charge of identifying all those scammed and the amount they lost. Post all the info in this thread and we will need to decide on a cut off time to make disbursments. All info will be posted here to make it as transparant as possible. If anyone wants to remain anonymous, that's fine. However, any money donated will be documented here along with the paypal fees charged. A complete accounting will be kept public.

I will be calling them shortly, too!
And as far as the rest of you who have contributed to this post...you sound like wonderful people! Thank you!

Marianna-
I think Dennis Hultman is the one who contacted you. I didn't even realize you could contact Ebay members if you didn't have a transaction with them! 
Regardless, I hope you get your money back, as well. And like I told Kristi in an email just now, if I know the reptile community like I think I do, you may not get it from Paypal, but you will at least get something back.

Call takers don't know what the hell they are talking about alot of the time. It absolutely is a police issue. However, the people scammed need to file their own individual reports. You're a witness and not a victim. That maybe why the call taker said what they did.

Charge accepted, and I will get right on that. Since there are 12 of them now, not only 4, someone needs to notify the remaining 8. The four on the screenshot have already been contacted, right?

Keep in mind that it takes 3 to 5 business days to disperse funds from paypal. The 17 or 18 at the latest should be the cutoff.
