Angry Bad purchase from N_Sarno

Got a bad order of zoo's from N_Sarno they all died within a few hours of placing them in my tank. He didn't even offer to give me a brake on replacements. Just said he wouldn't replace them And said he didn't belive me that they died.

That's to bad, I got 2 frags from him and they are some of the best zoo's in my tank in terms of health. A little on the small side but still doing good.

I saw your other post about this with the pictures posted. Funny that you posted his PM where he admited he was a buisness.

That's really to bad.

I got some random out of nowhere PM's from him, since I live local he just PM'd me out of nowhere.
I think it's really interesting that in his profile he says his homepage is here:
http://www.coralcrazy.com/livegoods.html

And in PM's to me he said his cousin Jimmy's homepage is here:
http://jimmysreef.com/main.php
Notice that his cousin Jimmy says that he's an authorized dealer for several websites.

And the pictures of items for sale on the two different websites feature identical pictures of sun corals and other pictures are identical too.

I'm sorry, but it's all just a little too "fishy" for me to want to deal with.

Want to PM me the return address that he had listed on the package he sent you and maybe I can do a little sleuthing?

Dirt bags like that are the ones who take atvantage of the forums and make the mods heavly police the classefieds.
Thats why is such a PITA to list more than one type of anything to sell with out being labled a vendor.

On top of being a vendor he didnt even offer to replace them? (obviously he has coral to replace it with too)

Thats just realy crapy.
Thanks for letting us know of your experience and thanks for letting us know of the name change rocko918

He was banned for previous problems under his old name and is now banned under his new name. Thanks for letting us know.
