If anyone has bought anything from me or my name in the last 30 days it was not me. I am currently working with paypal to have the issue resolved, I am sorry that this has happened. Furthermore once i get this issue resolved if the moderator wants me ban then i regretfully understand. I just recently got control of my paypal and bank accounts back so people plz be patient while this gets worked out.

Can you go into further detail as to how this happened? I have been doing business through PP forever and haven’t heard of anything like this.

Hmmmm so the crooks were selling corals on
R2R under your screen name, collecting PayPal money and then not sending the corals? Hopefully they weren't posting pics from inside your tank too! Wow crazy crazy crazy crooks these days!

Onlyonelikeme, I hate to say this but your explanation sounds very fishy, pun intended. I think the fact that you're deliberately posting, on two different screen names, against R2R policy, adds to my suspicions. You need to PM any staff member, with a legitimate explanation of your actions, as soon as possible.

Thanks Dowtish, that 3reef thread is very interesting for all this. Apparently he was texting people to tell him their goods were on the way. So the scammers got a hold of all his account numbers, all of his forum logins and passwords, PayPal, etc. His cell phone to be able to text people to tell them their stuff is on the way, and broke into his house and took pictures of the coral in his tank. All a long having an extensive knowledge of the saltwater hobby. Those sneaky, sneaky scammers.

Anyone how got taken by this guy, please make sure to open a PayPal dispute and call your credit card company ASAP.

that would begin to be believable if all of the transactions didn't take place over the phone which he is still using to claim he got hacked.....one minute he's saying he got compromised and the next he is saying my stuff got returned to him as invalid address. he gave me his paypal addy over this same number and now is crying he got scammed over the same phone number in texts.

in my paypal claim he is saying he shipped and it was returned for invalid address.....yesterday i asked him in email what addy he shipped to ...he responded with my correct address which is valid and has never had an issue ...yet here he is claiming it was not even him selling
if you want to verify more details pm me for a link where you can see what is really up with this guy

well i just got off the phone with paypal
they said to tell anyone that has the same problem to CALL them and make a dispute. They are looking at him as a fraudulent seller and are examining his entire account ...so save all your text messages and emails and pm's ,they will open disputes for all if you call them and explain that he has been selling items over and over on different forums and you believe it is fraudulent i don't think you have to wait to escalate your claim
