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.

What is he trying to sell? I have talked to John Light of JL Exotics several times and he is a great guy. I've never heard of Mike Kerwits and I don't think John has a partner.

Mike Kerwits?!
I am unaware of anyone else using the name JL Exotics. JL Exotics stands for John Light Exotics. I am John Light and I do NOT have a partner. This is the 2nd time I have heard of someone using my name to try and sell their animals. I have NO idea who Mike Kerwits is. At this time I have NO animals for sale. Alex I left you a message on your cell phone. If you have questions please give me a call. The last time something like this happened someone was taken for ALOT of money as he thought he was going to be getting a pair of adult het Clown ball pythons. The man in question stated "he said he was with JL Exotics". I am the only person. If I had adult het clowns I would NEVER sell them! Clowns happen to be a favorite morph of mine!
Again any questions post or call (954) 691-5489

I appreciate the response John. I was almost taken for a couple of thousand dollars myself. I was supposed to be getting a proven breeder male pastel, 1.1 100% het albino breeders, and approximately 20 wc/imported adult females. I did receive your voice mail but not until late last night so I figured I would hold off on giving you a call back...This guy whoever he is has given me two phone numbers and I have his e-mail address...now he didn't get the chance to scam me but he might try and scam someone else...do you think there's something I can do to prevent him from doing that? Should I get police or any type of official involved?

Not sure if there is anything you can do because you never actually went through with the deal. Kingsnake actually banned him from their site.

Do you know how to check his IP#? If you send me his e-mail as an attachment I can do that for you. At least we will know where is he writing from.
Regards.

He could always switch it up by going to a local library or leaving his grandmothers and going to his mom's. Just something to think about.

he actually called me the first time I guess from his mother's or grandmother's house the first day we spoke...the following day I called that number...asked for "Mike" and I was told I had the wrong number...I talked to him later in the day and explained I called that number 3 times and I had the wrong number...nobody had ever heard of him there and then that's when he gave me I guess his cell phone number. He just called and left me a voice mail on my cell phone about 2 hours ago stating he was sorry he didn't call me back yesterday after checking up on the females I was going to purchase from him. What should I do? Should I drag it out with him and make it seem like I'm going to pay him, tell him I'm going to send him a check, but in reality just write some stupid letter inside? Should I call him out on his scam? I guess he doesn't check the BOI very often...I don't think he has a clue as to me finding out about him. This situation is hilarious right now...he'll get what he has coming to him. Thanks John for everything and the chat earlier today...I appreciate it more than you know.

Hey no problem alex. I do know one way to really bust him which would involve the goverment, only problem is I don't believe he has any animals so when someone showed up all they could do is warn him. Only other way to take him down is going through with the deal.

I had a bad experience with Matt, Mario, whoever he is right now. This guy is a good talker but you can't believe a word that comes out of his mouth. He needs to be taken down but I am finally getting my money back after a year of dealing with him, so I am done with him for good finally.
