Hey all, just a heads up that the guy in this thread, SCAM ALERT - KENDRICK NUTTALL, is still up to his old tricks. If only I had saw that thread sooner. Now I'm out an RTC, but I guess that's what I get for trusting people...

At least USPS screwed up, and it arrived days later than it was supposed to and was dead. Poor little catfish never had a chance... :(

I first realized that something was up when I hadn't received payment for the RTC after sending the tracking info via email. I thought, "Okay, maybe he just forgot; no worries, right?" I emailed him multiple times and called him, too, with no luck on getting the payment. I really knew that something was up when he wanted to trade an arowana for one of my lungfish. I was like, "Okay, I've been looking for another silver arowana." I requested pictures of them, and I promptly received a bunch of pictures of Asian arowanas. At this point, I was was sure that he was trying to scam me, so I searched "Asian arowana" under Google Images, and, sure enough, I find most of the pictures after scrolling down a bit. I had hoped that he actually had them, so that I could really screw him over for possessing illegal fish...

Let me make it clear that I was not interested in illegally getting an Asian arowana!

So now I've learned my lesson to not trust people, and I hope that this serves as a lesson to everyone.

Now here's the email address: knuttall27@gmail.com
And here are the two phone numbers that he used to contact me: (662) 207-5016 and (901) 283-4473.
And finally the shipping address:
201 Wiggins Road
Apt. #10
Indianola, MS 38751


Mods, please ban his IP if possible. He also apparently has "friends" on MFK, so I'd be suspicious of other accounts from that area.

Any recommendations on what to do now? I know that I'm probably not going to ever see the money for the fish, but I'd like to see justice prevail.

dang man, sorry to hear that. You sent the fish before getting the payment?

Ya, I didn't check PayPal before shipping it. He claimed that he was going to pay for it while I was at the post office shipping it. I feel pretty dumb for falling for this scam, but I'd like this to serve as a lesson for everyone.
 
Hey man, does not mean you are dumb by any means, just means this jerk took advantage of a good person. Knifegill shipped my a fish before payment and after I got it I sent him a payment, same thing...different outcome. I would have prob bought that guy from you had i known you were selling him.
 
That sucks.
Hopefully this little alert keeps it from happening to someone else.
 
It's not dumb to fall for people like this... they become very good at what they do over time. It's just bad that local law enforcement does not get involved with someone who is such a repeat offender.
 
Don't lose your faith in people, you just have to keep your guard up. There are plenty of quality people out there.

Yes sir... "practice makes perfect" (just not the right way all the time ;( )

I think things like this has happened to all of us (most atleast)

There is an old saying I like to say "Fool me once, shame on you... Fool me twice, shame on me" :D

I don't wish bad things on people like that but Karma always finds you. I also believe now that lots are struggling, there will be more reason to "take care of your own"

Maybe I'm venting a lil but your the bigger man for posting something like this when you have his address haha. I still struggle with "revenge" :naughty:
 
The thread you linked was last year. We already banned the reported scammer. Will investigate though if there are new accounts.
 
Shipping out goods before receiving payment? I don't care if you've never been scammed before and like trust everybody, common sense will tell you that's a no-no :duh:
