Beware!!!

My fellow reefers, I am sorry I have to do this, but I really feel it is necessary.
It makes me very mad to see scammers operating, thinking they can get away with it. 'Wedfr' is a scammer, and that is the truth, beware!!! The evidence has been mounting, and I will now present it:

Wedfr has many aliases through out the reefing community.
wedfr
MDLR1
ReefCurrents
and who knows how many more.


This thread exposes 'wedfr' as 'MDLR1'. This is what happens when you are not careful with logging out.
wedfr as MDLR1


Notice on this very own thread he has posted as MDLR1 supporting wedfr. Kind of shady isn't it? :

He even offers to donate money to his own cause to get you guys thinking there are contributors. (page 5 of this thread)
Quote:
id be in for a few dollars as well


Trying to keep the thread alive. Like he doesn't know what is going on with the account.... (page 6 of this thread)
Quote:
so whats going on with the account?



This thread, it looks like two guys might be out some money purchasing from MDLR1 (a.k.a. wedfr). It is also mentioned in this thread the email for one of his other aliases (ReefCurrents) :
two guys out some money


This thread on manhattanreefs.com, actually has wedfr admitting he is ReefCurrents, fabricating his own protein skimmers. But at the same time, he is on this board as MDLR1, trying to sell a ReefCurrents protein skimmer to people, telling them it was bought. I guess the reason is because he would like to dump his trash and get a Euroreef (also stated in another post) But lying is not the way around it :
Admission


This thread shows another possible scam at work, but luckily another good hearted, caring reefer pointed it out :
Another possible scam??


There is plenty of evidence out there my fellow reefers. Just use the search button and you will see yourself. For those that have donated money already, I hope you can get it back.

In your research you appear to have missed:

Money was sent back without even asking for it. In the future please add the above fact to the pile of evidence.

ExtremeReefer, please give it a rest. Wedfr refunded my money ($50) already. I don't know why he did that. I was hoping that he would continue with the study. I just received an Apogee quantum meter last week, and I was going to send it to him so that he could use it for this study.

Wedfr, please let me know if I can help in the future.

Wedfr,

I'm getting in those 250W DE Radiums you were asking me for in next week hopefully. So I'll have them in stock when you decide to give it another shot.

Wedfr, Mdlr1, ReefCurrents, or who ever, I paid you for a GenX pump on Dec. 13th, 2003. I have received nothing from you. I have sent e-mails to all three of you, as well as Danny DeNoia and Micheal Jurkowich. I simply want what I paid for. I don't know what beef anyone else has with you, but I certainly don't take this lightly. Xmodius, I will give it a rest when I receive a refund or the pump. Sorry to barge in on this thread.

Until further review is taken with wedfr and his posting habits I am going to lock this thread. Before it gets out of hand.

Xmodius,

I'd hold off on giving wedfr your meter. Until all the facts are straightened out.
