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.

David Beard, I would agree that it isnt really worthy of the BOI. We never exchanged animals or money. The reason I posted was because Chris wanted this to be seen, as noted in his last email. I dont personally care too much about the matter, and would be fine dropping it and moving on.

The informational should be on the op. You immediately accused him of scamming you but you said it yourself. No money or animals were exanged. There wasn't even enough information exanged to even know what was going on lol

Thats fair. You are correct, there isnt enough there to really know whats going on. There is plenty of more in depth info on the BOI from those who have actually dealt with Chris. I should have let Chris follow through on his email statement and post to the BOI.

I would have arrived at the same conclusions: child, English is not their first language or someone who doesn't care enough to put much thought or effort into communicating on a business forum.

BOI reports remain as originally presented/posted, unless there are false accounts involved.

When I post a turtle for sale, and somebody responds "I want turtle", I'll typically mark the turtle sold, and present them an invoice. However, if turtle is already sold, i will kindly let them know turtle is spoken for. Please tell me for future reference, the proper way to let a buyer know that I want the turtle.
Also, you may notice that the correspondence's say "from my IPhone", this typically lets the receiver know that grammar may not be perfect. Perhaps I could add. "Sent from my IPhone, Grammer may not be perfect, and please excuse any imperfections". - That way the receiver will have a better chance of understanding the message. And not struggle so badly trying to read the message.
Thank You,
Chris
PS - sent from my IPhone, please excuse any grammar mistakes or inconsistencies.
Chris

How about you either follow through with your bad guy boi posting, or retract it. Don't lean on a disagreement with a moderator, that happened forever ago, to excuse your coming on here and looking a fool.

In addition to the drastically changing mood of Ross Baker (e.g. Attack, apology, regret, apology, then attack again, etc.....)
Ross Baker also states, there is more...."from those who have actually dealt with Chris".
Please let me call Ross Baker to task, let me know with whom "have actually dealt with Chris", that has taken to the BOI. Provide some names!
Looking forward to another cringe worthy response from Ross Baker.
Thank You!

Only since you asked:
You just answered the question yourself, and successfully did so on your phone:
"I want turtle ?" (questioning yourself)
vs.
"I want the turtle" (statement with intent to buy)
"I would like to buy your turtle, please contact me" (perhaps even better)
10 seconds worth of effort versus 5 seconds can make all the difference to those you are trying to relay a message to, regardless of the device.

Thanks
