SCAMMER ALERT!!! EXOTIC aka JSWAG

[JasonsPlecosCichlids]

This character sent me a PM about my WTB post, stated he pretty much had all the fish I was looking for, sent me photos, etc. I left and came back and he was banned. I was about to contact a MOD to have him checked out before I made any transaction anyways.

He/she needs to be Banned via IP Range, the broader the better. If it happens to IP Ban a legit member they can always contact a MOD here by other means. All of these posts need to be recorded, then his ISP needs to be contacted by the Admin of this forum stating their customer is abusing these forums by trying to scam people. MFK MODS ban him but he signs up as another username, creates 10 posts so he can post in Buy Sell Trade. I'm a Super Mod on a Tech Site and this is what we have done in the past to stop this.

Then I saw a post on here about UARUS which was the same photo he sent me. Below are his PMs to me:

Exotic is a scammer, he is post padding so he can post is Buy, Sell, Trade!!

SCAM!!!

This guy sent me a PM today about all the fish I have shown below, I left and came back and he was banned and now he is back again. Username was JSWAG

Maybe noobs should post a pic w/their user name and date until they have a few points on the feedback?? This might help shut down Landumb(***) Cowiling??

I don't know what you are all expecting on a website infested with adults who are obviously immature, where there is little to no control over the marketplace.

You only see a small percentage of the goings on in the Marketplace. Don't be so quick to judge. The only way to further reduce problems in the Marketplace is incur fees for its use. Since we want to keep all site use free, we have to endure these occassional nuisances.
