I'm ashamed to say that I used venmo. This is the first time buying online like this and I looked at his profile and he seemed to have a selling history. I guess I'm too trusting but i learned my lesson.

I've sent him a personal message on his personal Facebook page asking him to do the right thing or we will turn in all info to the authorities as each one of you press charges.

We normally stay out of transactions but when someone comes in to take advantage of multiple members of the community then we will do our best to help our family.
@revhtree I want to commend you and the R2Rstaff for the quick response to this issue. It isn't always easy to take action against someone, but when you have an amazing community like this, well it is just awesome!

Watching this! I got scammed on Ebay so I'm already mad about that and he was so good ebay voted on his behalf.
Keep us updated. It's not fair to people who do the right thing.

Because of stories like this, that I have always been hesitant to buy on sites like this. After reading about how this site looks out for it’s members against scam artist like this, I’m feeling more open to buying from someone on this site. Thank you very much for the admin team for looking after the members that were had by this individual

This really sucks taking advantage of people like this. This hobby is not cheap, to begin with, so sad to have untrusted people like this on this hobby. I will do my best to vouche for people that I buy from here if I have a good experience this will help everyone else out in the long run. Good day everyone and happy reefing.

I sent an email to this user. We will do all we can and even provide info that we have to the FBI as needed.

The FBI handles theft? lol I know cyber crime is one of their areas but I would assume the local police would yield better results no?

Would it also not just make sense for the mods here to block and ban him permanently?

So many questions I have LOL

@CC13 ......Maybe since it’s online and across state lines it becomes an issue they would look into. I have no clue honestly though. lol
