SCAMMED DO NOT TRUST BIRDMAN

[thefeds]

I was looking for some Kessil lights and he had this post (https://www.reef2reef.com/threads/k...r-bracket-icecap-gyres.1011244/#post-11830091)
Doubt I will get lights, and I just wanted this forum to be aware of this user. thanks for listening.

I've been trying to find his For Sale Posts, and it seems he has deleted them.

I reported him last week and this was the response I got. So I believe that's why his posts are no longer available.

He was pushing me to buy them few days ago. What tripped me was that his profile said he was from Ohio. His PM to me said he was from Kentucky. He PM'd me for a few days trying to get me to buy them. thanks for exposing him

May I ask how you paid him?

 

[TatorTaco]

He wanted me to pay via PayPal Friends and Family. When I asked if I could add $5 more to the cost so we could both be protected via PayPal Goods and Services, he balked. I decided not to buy from him.

I’m sorry dude. I wanted to cave so bad and send him the money. I get it.

The scammer portrait himself as a victim while he was being the fraudulent one … wow

Hi all, appreciate the support. TatorTaco is exactly right. Same story to me. He wanted to use cashapp. I knew it was to good to be true and I fell for it. Really bummed with myself. The post I linked had a reply from someone that had purchased the pump from the light and pump combo add, and he replied saying "wow I didn't think it would arrive so quickly..." So I thought, well someone purchased the pump, perhaps this is legit...lesson learned.

I guess I’m not seeing a scam unless I’m missing something. Red flags…sure. Unauthorized payment methods…sure. But it’s been maybe a week? I’m not saying you’re not getting scammed, I'm just not seeing a scam yet. Am I missing something else?

Ban them for life off the forum to protect members
Birdman has just had his feathers pulled
Hate to see disonist people ripping good people off SHOCKING

the scam is @thefeds paid for an item and the seller hasn't sent it or any shipping information. Now because he paid using Family and Friends he can only ask the seller for his money back and hope that he refunds him.

Plus...he went through and deleted all his for sale ads
