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.

Ok in that picture.. Is the 3,500.00 typed or hand written???
Because if you look close, you'll see well look at the 4 0's in the amount then look at the 0's in the date right above... Also look at the 2's they are identical I mean like perfectly the same... So I'm guessing it was typed??

You are also correct.

No, the Wise's are not going to be banned at the moment. It really wouldn't accomplish anything except as a "feel good" gesture, and I don't want to give them any excuse for not coming here to try to clear up this situation. Assuming that is possible to do.........
While this sort of thing obviously is enough to piss off the Pope, gnashing our teeth at them and cussing their names is certainly not going to accomplish anything. I would like to think it's all some sort of misunderstanding or mistake, but while hoping for the best, planning for the worst may be in order.
Has anyone met them in person? Are there any existing photographs of them? Do they own their own home or a business? In other words, are they REAL people using their REAL names? I believe it is notable that wisereptiles.com is now gone.

I did send a member here a photo of the Wise's that is posted on Jeff's facebook page

I wasn't going to post, but I felt this was pertinent information to point out...
The total transactions that show up in Maggie's PayPal (which, by the way, is the same that I could see in Jeff/Christina's PayPal that they sent to Nick and Dave) is, altogether, $1,600 (two payments of $800).
$5,453-$1,600= $3, 853
The supposed check is for $3, 500, which leaves $353 completely unaccounted for regardless of the proof already presented. Am I missing something here?
(Disclaimer: Forgive me if I have and am just being slow)
Maggie and Rick, I'm so terribly sorry this has happened to you both. I honestly wish Christina and/or Jeff could come on and explain their side of the story, but as far as I am concerned, the evidence presented thus far is pretty damning. It's what the courts would call, I believe, "an open-and-shut case".
Maggie, I hope you get enough money to send the girls to camp. For this to have happened during your darkest hour, as everyone else has said, is just not right. It's downright despicable. Chuck was one of the good ones, and I know that had this been involving anyone else, and he were here, he'd be kicking butt and taking names. Rest assured the same will be done for him, you, and your children. You guys are in my thoughts and prayers.
Dave, thank you for bringing this to light thus far. Even if it gets resolved, it was something that needed to be said. Even if it is somehow a misunderstanding (which seems doubtful at best).
Nick, thank you for posting the information for them. I just wish they would come on and post it for themselves, as it is what Dave had already posted.

Rich has a good point. Lets see if they just keep shopping around on here for more snakes or if they will make their way here and post and try to explain their side.
That check is for sure 100% typed out with a program though.

I believe they are real, personally. I, along with quite a few others on here, have seen photographs of them. They both use Facebook and Myspace. Both of them have photos on each. They also have a Youtube with a video of Jeff. Although, it's not unheard of for people to go to great lengths to fake an identity online, I'd say they are real.
I've also talked to Christina on the phone before...that's why I'm so shocked by this. From all accounts they seemed like kind hearted people.

As is their forums linked to it (duh) and Christina's Facebook...
Though their myspaces are still up, I believe.

I have never banked with chase but I have opened a few accounts at different banks in my life. Also, my daughter just opened her first account. Now, I could be wrong but I have never seen starter checks starting in the nine thousands.
When you get your real checks you can request they start at whatever number you want but the starter checks they give you, you don't.
My recollection has been they have always started at 100. My daughter's started at 101 as well.

I am showing the check again. All of the font in question is crisp and clear. How come the rest of the check is crappy looking? If she has the software to build web sites, doctoring up two checks together would be easy. I know for a fact, those two numbers should be the same.
