Purple Hornet Ripoff?

[Nanofins]

Sorry folks, nothing came of my deal. Chapin stopped responding to my emails, so we were never able to confirm a ship date or make further arrangements.

It's sad to hear other people have been getting ripped off by these ******s. Somebody needs to stop by and pour some bleach in their tank---or their drinking water.

This guy MySpace - www.myspace.com/293984650 posted this
"Posted at 7:32 AM Aug 10

I don't have myspace, but maybe someone could check out the profile??? I dunno, but this is so uncool!

Also, is anyone on here or an admin on here? Reef Frontiers - View Profile: The Salty Dawg

Seriously, someone needs to call the feds on this guy.

It's a shame that this happens to anyone but I don't think the answer is "bleach in their tank", even though I'm sure you meant that in jest. Unfortunately someone put a chlorine tablet in the display tank of one of our LFS awhile back and killed off all of the livestock. I don't know that I'd want to plant that seed in anyone's mind.

wow nuts

You're not going to get the Feds to respond, you’re not going to get the local police to respond BUT, if ALL who have been scammed will call the Florida Wildlife Commission at 888 404-FWCC they will act.

Here’s their web site report form. - FWC – Wildlife Alert – Report Violations Online

You might even get a reward.

FWC officers love doing their job.

Be specific and provide all the details of the transaction.
On his website he only does transactions via email or phone. He provided his phone number on the site. Make sure you reference the URL when you contact them. http://thesaltydawg.com
