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.

Is this a scammer?
I received a request to buy some items from 2 of my different posts in Other Herp Related Supplies. The person used the same phone number (256-600-2959) for 2 different member names (One1 and lounder101). This person also used 2 different names and is located in 2 different places. When I call the number I cannot reach anyone. When I text the number the person is very vague about my questions...

I was contacted through the Fauna Private Message Center and given a number to text from the person who was interested in my items.

Is there a way for Fauna administrators to check into this individual and delete his account if he is a scammer? I would never have suspected this "duck" if I was not contacted twice.

Forward the PM to any moderator and explain what happened.

I received a PM from a user bestowedlord, with the same number. Was this person a scammer? The user name has zero posts, and joined today 6/15/22. When I searched the number this thread popped up.
Thanks
