This guy "James Coleman" or jcoleman_3 as he goes by here on RC and a few other popular forums runs the website paradisereef.us

He also owns a store in Indiana.

He has scammed many of us by taking our money and never sending product out, and ignoring our calls, emails and messages.

We are going through the paypal motions now but for anyone who has done that you know what a pain that is.

If you are interested in reading the whole 5 pages of threads about this let me know and I will pm you the link.

In the last couple days he has been posting about being open New Years day with a great frag selection so he is more than able to conatct people and make good but chooses not to.

yes he was going by jcoleman_3 on ebay but scammed a crapload of folks with that one so he now goes by jcoleman_331 and has started doing the same thing with that one as well.

Glad you got your money back, what was his reason for not shipping the corals.

well his refund is pending still so not 100% yet. He SAYS he is gonna send us our orders on top the refund but we will see on that. I would be greatful of that.

And no we never yet got a reason as to why or what..

If you get your money back and corals, can't beat that.Thats probably only way to save his customer base and store.Things like that can really riun a business.
