This person is running a scam where they say they will send you fish and never do. I just got taken for $93 from them, and they reposted the fish they were supposed to sell me again. Just a heads up to all our MFK community. If anyone in the GCCA knows this person, please escalate.

you get his address before you sent him the money? I'd go and find his address and take a road trip based on principle lol. How did this even work anyway?
 
I have his address. The scam basically is this. He sold me 2 fish for $40. Shipping for the fish was $53. This shipping was overnight. He sent me a note saying that he underestimated the cost of shipping. So what he would do is send 2nd day air, and add an extra fish in the deal. In effect, he said shipping would be $60 ( with the extra fish), and the fish would be $33. No fish were sent, a bogus tracking number that leads nowhere, and he has relisted the auction for the fish he sold me, to scam someone else. He also sells Frontosa as an FYI. I am asking for help for anyone from the GCCA to smoke this weasel out of his hole.

See that [ report to admin ] link? Use it.

Whats he gonna report to the admin here? His purchase had nothing to do with MFK it sounds like to me. He posted the link to the fish he "purchased" and they were on the GCCA site.

See that piece of his first post that is a different color with underlining, numbers and dots? If you click on it, it will open up something called a "Web Page". If you read what is on this page, you will notice a slew of little words in brackets. The OP can easily click on these little words (which are also links) and report to that site's administrator.
