I've been holding back to see what happens in hopes of everyone getting their filters. I filed a dispute with Paypal and when it came down to it, Jessie/Fishonthebrain was nice enough to refund me my $300. I was the second person that I know of to send money to this "unbelievable" deal.... very trusting without doing my homework. But after very little communication from Jessie and the overwhelming doubt from the members, my doubt was compiled and I acted quickly/hastily to get my money back.

However, in my impulse to grab at this great buy I did send Jessie a PM notifying him that I did not have enough in my paypal due to an earlier purchase from Fish Farm, etc..... his reply to me sounded a bit suspicious. He stated that I could "Send Me [Him] a $300 gift card from Home Depot" rather than go thru Paypal. Threw up a red flag right away but I had tunnel vision and focused on the filter pricing! I went thru and did a rush deposit and went thru Paypal instead..... sending a Gift Card is like sending cash! I may not be a very good looking man but I do make up for my shortfalls with common sense.

Good Luck to all that purchased..... I really would like to see everyone get their filters! And I truly hope Jessie/Fishonthebrain proves us all wrong.

Whoa , that sends up red flags everywhere , Good thing u did not send the guift card man , dodged a bullet there.
 
wow
 
I didn't see the no CC PayPal listing, he's a scam artist, stay away from him. PayPal can't do squat to protect or refund your money, and most times they WON'T refund your money because it costs them money to do so, this comes from experience - if you don't use a Credit Card with fraud protection you're getting shafted out of your cash.
 
hate to say it fellas, but it looks like we've been scammed

Also I think "paypal buyer protection" only applys to ebay purchases.. purchases outside of ebay I don't know if they're covered for the refund.. :confused::confused:

I'll be honest.. the whole thing sounded like a scam.. a well thought out scam that will keep you guys going for a few days, but a scam of some sort.. Hope I'm wrong.
 
yeah, i had the feeling from the beginning as well. i just figured, ah what the hell, im covered if i use my credit card. oh well.
