gotts support that cocaine and bud habit somehow! thanx for the warning. sorry to hear about your loss, ive only bought one thing on RC and it was chaeto from ReefRockerLive, and he gave an honest deal and it arrived when he said it would and in great condition. spred the word to an administrator in their forum. see if they can do something. if nothing else they can ban him for that i do believe. dont take my word on it though. try to have a great weekend, and keep on reefin. Karma, will get him!

well he did make it right tonight after we sent the POLICE over to talk to him. after many atempts to call and email I quit trying to contact him directly BUT the local police in Villa Rica Ga. are very helpful & persuasive it seems. He called me while the police were still on the phone with me. We came to an agreement and he paid me for what I was out. I hate I had to go to this extreme to make it right but maybe he learned something

Wow I`m glad I saw this post. I was setting up a trade with him for some of my sons corals we had posted. He wanted me to send them overnight to him also. Glad I was waiting till next week to do anything about shipping them.
Sorry to hear about you guys that lost out with this person. I am glad to have RC and feedback forums like this to alert others.

I thought I remember RC saying it was going to impliment and enforce more standards to these types of people. At least ban them from RC so as to hinder their ability to continue this type of scam.
Sorry to hear of all who have been taken. I hope this doesn't keep you from future online transactions. Most people in these forums are truly honest reefers. I really would like to see this guy put in jail for fraud. Maybe one day. |

I sent a PM telling him I was calling the police, he in turn sent paypal for coral and shipping. I recommend everyone take this approach, I have his phone number if anyone needs it please PM me.
Its a shame when we all try to swap corals from around the country and a guy this scams everyone now a few of will never probably have enough faith to do this anymore.

I have been in contact with him via PM. He has promised to make things right. While we are not prepared nor do we have the time or manpower or desire to get between every buyer and seller on this site, in this case you can let me know if your situation was taken care of.
I don't like throwing out a blanket statement, but please be careful of dealing with a member with very few posts in their history. Just something to think about. And remember, this is not eBay. You buy and sell at your own risk for the most part.

smiller,
I understand it isn't ebay, and please know I have had mostly all good dealings on RC. I know alot of people expect the mods to police the buying and selling, I am not one of those people. This is an informational site, where people can trade and sell small portions to upgrade their own tanks, not EBAY. It is just a shame when a guy like this runs these schemes, but it is what it is. Thanks for helping everyone, and keep RC as clean as possible.

You folks need to get in touch with the FBIs Internet fraud unit. I got scammed about four years ago and they caught the guys. The court has been paying me back a little at a time. Good luck!
