Purple Hornet Scam?
First of all, does anyone recognize this picture as being theirs, or having seen this EXACT picture before (and know where it comes from)? It just seems strangely reminiscent somehow...
The reason I ask is that I got a request for a trade through frags.org from a new member on the day they joined (8-14-09), and they are offering me this 8 adult polyp frag, as pictured, in trade for a bunch of my coral. I don't mean to be the paranoid type, but it raises some flags for me. Add to that the fact that I searched their email addy and came up with a craigslist complaint in FL (where this person is supposed to be from) against the person with that addy selling fake guchi bags, and that doesn't help. So, I want to do a little more homework.
I also just requested a second pic from a different angle to confirm the piece, so we'll see.
Thanks for everyone's time,
Zack
