To catch a scam.

This is an idea I had to better our hobby, it is a way to catch a few of the ones that misrepresent animals in ads. Here is an example of what I am talking about.

Start at post # 20.

It was a trap set to catch someone misrepresenting the animal. They have also been caught before, however they seem to continue in those actions. The right questions were asked and the wrong answers were given for the questions. This can be done about many questionable ads. If you question the ad, then ask the questions needed to see if they are going to be legit in the answers, you can even tell them the truth to see what reaction they will have. If you find them to be less than honest, then post it on the BOI, this will help clean up some of the trash ads flooding our market. Remember this, if contacting them and your name is known well, then have someone else contact them, or use a name not known as well. Yes, it is a trap.

This is not new, but it does work.

Bobby, everytime I click on the link it just brings me to the fauna homepage. I even made sure I was logged in. What thread are you referencing?

by the way, I have been watching fauna since I was 16 (god, almost 10 years ago!) and have really admired your contribution to keeping the reptile industry as clean as possible from some of the scum floating around out there!
