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.

Well I guess ol James is going to screw me.
He hasnt contacted me at all today and has ignored all my attempts.
I have checked with ups and fedex and there is nothing coming my way.
I have put a dispute in with paypal. I will let you all know how it goes.

Just an Update
It looks as James Fanthorp has done a good job of screwing me. I have tried multiple times since the snakes were to be shipped to contact him via email and phone calls. He doesnt respond or reply. I am turning my dispute into a claim on the 8th of september on paypal.
Do not do any trade deals with this bastard, or buy anything from him.
The info he uses are
336-269-5683
jfanthorp@aim.com
jfanthorp1983@aol.com (paypal)
If you see or have an inquiry from any of those I would pass.
Give another update after it turns to a claim, I may take a ride to nc, it's not that far from Ky.

Chad, I understand that you are angry at the moment, however, can you give us the information on this trade/cash deal?
What was the deal? Can you give us time lines and dated emails with headers would be a plus. Who approached who first about the trade and what all is involved here? How much money is involved?
Have you notified him about this thread? Peer pressure can be a beautiful thing. I'm not here to pry or bust your balls, any information that you can give this forum adds credibility to your claim.
Please keep us undated.

I have an ad running on kingsnake for tattoo machines to trade.
He inquired about the machines and what else he would need to tattoo. We go back and forth about what he will need and what I can include with the machines.
He has a lavender albino retic.
I agreed to pay shipping for the retic to me and pay to ship the machines to him. After a while he said he was only interested in 1 machine, some liner and shader needles, and a catalog w/ tattooing equipment so he could get started. He also let me know that he had male tiger retics as well. Anyway we agreed that I would get the female albino retic, and 1 male tiger, for the machine, needles, catalog and 270.00 via paypal. I agreed to paypal him the 270.00 to cover the shipping and cover the cash end. After I was to recieve the snakes (9-3-08) then I was to ship the tattoo equipment. Well obviously I havent recieved any snakes. I have tried multiple times several different ways to contact him. Phone, email, and texting. That is how he decided to do most of his communicating was text. He answered the phone once and tried to disguise his voice as an elderly woman, but it was obvious it was him.
I have been working with reptiles for 10 years and this is only the 2nd bad trade experience, luckily.
I havent notified him of this thread because I cant get hold of him, and he doesnt return messages, imagine that.
