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.

Depending on how you paid I would start to look at getting your money back. The problem with these guys dragging things out is they keep it going until you have gone past the date of being able to dispute it.

I'm sure something went wrong on his end. He may have computer troubles or something. Don't give up, I'm sure he'll come threw with you.

He has been having computer problems since 2002. It seems something goes wrong often, when it comes to delivering on-time, per his agreements.

Go to your bank tomorrow and get a trace started on the cashier's check. Find out if, and when, it was cashed and if it was, then find out where and get a copy. You would have sent it by mail, so drop him another e-mail as warning. If he doesn't reply, refund or ship the animal then your next step, on Wed. or Thurs. would be to go to your post office and begin inquiring about filing for mail fraud. This would involve the Inspector General as it is a federal offense. You may have more stops to make along the way, such as your own district attorney's office or possibly the federal courthouse (I really don't know as I've not had to ever take one this far.) Either way, he can be in some deep poo along the way if he doesn't come through. In fact, for people who are leary of online deals, I often spell this out ahead of time so that they'd have the information should I ever screw up a deal.

David,
I believe Sean meant a bank cashier's check. I'm in agreement with the rest, and after the story of the trash bags I would forget about the snake and concentrate on trying to recuperate my money. Where is Derek located at? You probably still have the address where you sent the money, right?
Regards.

Several in this post.

Derek,
Just for the record papasmurf210@earthlink.net was the e-mail address you used when you placed your ad at kingsnake.com. It's the same address you used to send me 6 e-mails when we made our deal and to arrange payment. Now when I send e-mail asking for a refund after over 3 months of inaction on your part, you claim that you never received them?
I sent an e-mail asking for a reply on Feb. 26th, 2004 and sent it to papasmurf210@earthlink.net and just for good measure, I cc'd it to sonoranreptile@earthlink.net and subocularis@hotmail.com, but you didn't respond to that either.
A week ago after your last post here, I sent yet another e-mail with my address requesting a refund to sonoranreptile@earthlink.net and still no reply.

I sent him a private message, but no response. Some people I know in the tucson area know him and are going to pay him a visit. If anyone know this man on a personal level please PM me.
