    Scam in this forum

    in General Reefkeeping_

    Posted

    This is quite a long story so you guys have to be patient with me...

    I only started reefer not too long ago, and to think that I was being scammed all these while by a particular reefer.....

    As alot of people know over here, I am a avid adorer of zoanthids. I would travel anywhere to pick up nice zoanthids. By this forum, I came to know this reefer. He offered some of his Zoanthids but at astronomical price. Being a sucker, I bought quite a bit from him over a period of time, amounting no less than 10 blue notes....

    Recently, as I get to know more nice reefers and get to know more shops owners, I discover a disgusting truth. What this reefer claims as US imports are just hoax. I tried harder to dig more news from more reefers and here is what i discover...

    1. I found some of the zoanthids claimed by this reefer to be US imports in GO, T95, Irwana and Ah Beng shop. After checking with these respective shop owners, they confirmed that this reefer bought a lot of zoanthids from them but none of them are from US.

    2. I found out from another reefer that GO confirmed that he took used shipment boxes and packages from them, prolly as a decoy for shipment.

    3. I found out from yet another reefer that GO had already issue a warning to this reefer, not to misuse their name by claiming something that did not happen.

    4. I found out from alot of other reefers how they get themselves suckered in to buy common corals at exhorbitant prices from this reefer but never made it public.

    5. After some time I realise that my stuff that i bought from this reefer are really all common stuff. Things like common red gonio is claimed by him to be purple gonio, rose hammer turns out to be common hammer when a reefer pointed out when he visits my place.

    6. After my suspicion is confirmed, I receive a message from this reefer about a batch of new zoanthids. Upon looking at the pictures and double confirming with 2 other reefers, this batch of zoanthids is exactly the same as what Ah Beng is selling at the last shipment. Guess what, the price quoted by this reefer is more than 11 times what Ah Beng is selling

    There are alot of other issues that confirmed my suspicion. I really dun want to point fingers, coz I already admit that I am a sucker and money gone is money gone for good. I just cannot tolerate this reefer going on eating up noob's money as I know the senior reefers will never buy things from this reefer....

    I hope this serves as a reminder to new reefers as well as seasoned reefers that there are people out there who are trying to pull a fast one and they will really go all out to do so.

    thank you thank you...

    anyway, the black zoa opened after you left. and they not brown skirt lah, they are red :(

    and i got too much pink zoas in there, you have to let me know which one you interested wor...

    and the hitchhiker is actually from some other coral, it has a yellow starburst (yellow shaped like a star in green rim) with red skirt...i actually quite like that one, will let you know when i get some frags out of it, but it grows way too slow for my liking...

    the red man-eater, well, its relatively cheap :)

    and Roger, hang on to your zoa frags, i'll bring all my frags to swap with yours!!!!
