@yyq is a cheat. Do not do business with

[MikeYasin]

@yyq is a cheat. He sent me dead coral - summer ship with no cold pack, then November ship with no heat pack. He said he’d cut and ship replacements in January. I’ve messaged and emailed him to no avail. He’s got over $400 from me. What a low quality person. Stay away from this guy. If he decides to reply, I have screen shots and pics of messages and texts. Not cool.

I had a bad experience with him too. But I did get my money back. Sorry to hear you are having issues.

Yes, and I am pretty sure he sold his tank and all his stuff.

Jeez.

I’ve reported him to Zelle and to banks. Also sending reports to police dept.

Pretty much every thread started by him/her is in the classifieds which tells me they were only here to sell. I never buy from people like that. They're just here so they don't have to pay fees to sell. I'll only buy here from fellow reefers who actually contribute to the forum in a meaningful way.

He did the same to me man, Exact time frame and situation. He has ghosted me since February and owes me about $400.

What goes around comes around @yyq im calling you out because i dont talk behind peoples back. Lets see what kind of man you are, will you run and hide with people's hard earned money? Will you wish that bad karma in you and your family? Or will you make things right and not be a low life thinking you can make it through life doing things like this with no consequences?

Looks like sellers here are not allowed to request payment via unsecured options.

Has everyone reported this to the moderating staff?

If anyone has enough personal info on this person to make a police report, then that info should be posted publicly so that a general web search will catch it (one username on one forum isn't enough to warn future purchasers in a meaningful way).

He was notorious for this in atlanta selling fish and coral most fish had velvet and the coral was dying but he sold it anyway. It's a real small community. And the word gets around. Im glad all u guys are making the community aware.

Oh he did sell. He's in the hobby for the money where most of us are in it for the beauty of it. Im so glad you guys are finally getting rid of this guy. He got away with it here in atlanta. Go get him

I paid using paypal and paypal denied my refund request. He provided tracking numbers for the dead coral and that was enough for them to say i recieved what i paid for.

To everyone he did this same stuff in atlanta. But he got away with it for the most part. After his reputation was ruined he sold out and moved. Im just glad everyone on his is making people aware of this. We are a small community. But this guy makes his money on ripping people off. I hope he is removed
