• In the past two days I have gotten emails asking about being requested to provide credit card info in order to register and also to make a post in the classifieds forums.

My guess is that this is coming through Google Adsense, but when I can get someone to send me a screen shot of this sort of request, I will know more.

I am very interested in a FRT I have seen in the Fauna Classifieds. Is CITES paperwork required? Does the seller provide it? Last I knew, FRTs were CITES II
 
In the United States, it's not "Cites paperwork," that you need. It's a 3-177 US FWS importation clearance paper. Meaning it was legally imported and cleared US FWS at the port of entry. Every reptile that is legally imported from another country needs to be cleared by US FWS. Most sellers do not provide this. I know of only one exporter that legally exported FRTs from Indonesia to the U.S. and this occurred last year. Good luck! Would also advise NOT getting FRTs unless you can provide an enclosure for an adult animal. 99.9% owners can not and you constantly see sub adults being offered for sale after they outgrow their current owners.
