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.

Another scam artist, Avoid like the plague!
I sent an email inquiring about their ad for Galapagos Tortoises for sale, and ask where they where located, below is the response I received.....
At those prices, I'd take a 100 acre pasture full.

I'm guessing, just kidding, they're first language isn't ENGLISH!
In addition, just getting a reply to their ad, they got so excited their fingers were typing so fast they forgot to edit the email they were sending, all that was on their minds was $$$$$$$.
I'm not done with them yet. Ha Ha!

Before he sent the video, he assured me that "what I see in video is his farm where he raises tortoises, pick ones you want, that's what be delivered to you front door."
He contacted me this morning, wondering "when you send payment, tortoises being delivered today."
As far as the worst, I'm thinking more towards the funniest attempted at a scam.
I'm no longer conversing with him, I've had my laughs!

I'm completely blown away by this last email, just came in today....
I've been gone from 11:30a.m. until just about a 1/2 hour ago, this email was waiting for me.... Now they're acting like they never conversed with me and now starting at the beginning, AGAIN!
The stupidity boggles my mind...
If any one else wants too play, have at it, I'm done with em', but it was FUN!
