Buyer beware, ripoff artist at work!!!

[Amphibious]

The way I see it is, it began with Purple Hornet zoas used as bait to get unsuspecting reefers to send corals to the scammer in exchange for this pictured zoa frag.

It continues and expanded to other corals and even fake Gucci bags. The whole thread can be read here - Purple Hornet Ripoff (http://www.reef2reef.com/forums/f14/purple-hornet-ripoff-27128.html) On another forum.

It goes into much more and interesting details. More than I want to post here. If you are actively buying corals, you need to know about this scamming couple. Names are named and web sites they operate, e-mail address, even a phone number.

Buyer Beware!!!

My Gucci was all slimy when I got it and it never opened ;)

In all seriousness...great "heads up" Mr. H. We need to make sure we have each others' backs from time to time.

most bags have a funky little clip at the top that can be alittle tricky unless your wearing lipstick & have long finger nails bud:huh:
