Crazy. Some people are just hard up on money and has to cheat reefers out of their hard earned money.

I wouldn't have trusted the original seller, especially when he only has about 30 posts and he's already selling a high value coral.

Yupp and for some weird reason, that bounce pic looks so familiar....I think this pic belongs to someone else's. I think I've seen that pic before but it didn't have the blurs around it or did it...man.

Fishy right at the Get Go. I didn't pay this scam! admin needs to get this guy. If any locals know this guy, please report him to Admin.

He thinks he can get away, report him to have the police track his computer IP address and arrest him.

Scam!! That's why you never send payment as friends and family. Seller should always pay the fee. When something sounds to good to the true there's a reason!!

How would that have made a difference? Does it protect the buyer? (not sarcastic)… trying to understand if there's a safe way to buy on this forum...

Not saying this is a scam but I offered to meet in person and pay in cash and he insisted on PayPal and to ship. Said hes too busy to meet in person. Whoever ends up with the shroom at that price got a good deal.

These shrooms are in high demand so scammers know that and offer them for a crazy low price witch get multiple people to make crazy impulse buys. If you send payment as friends and family there's a really good chance you won't get your money back.

I know they're in high demand… If I would have seen this last night, I probably would have fell victim too… so, never send money as GIFT… would you get your money back if he never ships… If the seller pays fee, how does that help?

When you sent payment as gift, it's exactly that GIFT!!! When you make an actual purchase and you never get the item you're in title to a refund from PayPal.

I'm pretty sure this would be considered fraud which can carry heavy penalties. I would urge everyone to contact PayPal or even go further.
