Ah, heck, this scammer should have public exposure. Beware Chapin Coerdt, email address [email protected]. They are in Fort Lauderdale, FL. They are also sending pics of aquacultured acros which I would assume are also ripoffs. Very friendly person though. Also don't buy gucci bags from them, according to craigslist.

If you guys don't mind, please hold off on contacting/harassing this person. I'm thinking of sending them a care package with some of my "special" coral. :xd:

You know.......things and people like this really get me going.

I actually followed through and met a guy on craigslist (selling stolen Harley stuff) out there doing the same thing. I showed up with my Club and we had a little :talk: with him.
There are very few things I will go to that extreme with, but messing with my $ is something I take personal...

People like that need to be taught a lesson, and words never work.

Thats Marvins photo for sure! The "seller/scammer" saturated and cropped it a little. Tell him where to stick it Marvin!

Well, just heard back from frags.org. They have cancelled the account. Probably not a lot else to be done at this point, but at least they can't get anybody else on frags, until they sign up with a new account. :angry:

So, yeah, case closed. Don't mess with me.

LOL!!! Nice pic Marv! :tongue:


Generally speaking if you're even remotely skeptical, don't do it. A new member is a hellz naw in my book, let alone the fact that you found info regarding them selling fake purses!

Call him out! That's BS and he stole good ole Marvs pic!
Beware Chapin Coerdt, email address [email protected].
Is this seriously their email addy too? What a joke!

:hammer:

Yeah, seriously. It seemed a little funny at first, but not much on it's own, but after I started feeling funny about the deal, the two put together started to smell.

Feel free to post a reference to this thread elsewhere to expose this jerk.

I think that it is your pic too. With an average photoshop pic they could easily do the crop and rotate. But the pics look close enough that I would say it is yours.

Well, the dweeb actually has the gall to contact me again to see if I still want to close the deal. I'm going to see if I can get an address and try and pass that along to someone. I like how scammers are always so quick to call you friend.

They also got a friend, also in FL, to sign up today and give them a feedback rating of 9.0. Wow.
