DUBMAN ALERT!!!!
​

Hello Everyone,

We have a person that recently joined our forum using the online name of DUBMAN.

He has posted some high end corals for sale and I would like to know if any of these corals are the ones that were obtained via shady dealings.

Here are a couple links to our forum for what he is selling.....
LE Dragon Soul Favia 6-7 Heads VERY RARE

I haven't heard from him again, I guess he decided what I owed him wasn't worth getting caught.

What, you don't have 50+ posts over there? LOL

 

[jaytizzle]

No... SOME of us have been banned (some = almost everyone on here from Louisiana!)

Ah, didn't think about that part, I was poking some fun. Didn't mean to offend anyone

 

[jaytizzle]

No offense at all, Scopus... I was making a joke back at you... getting banned from there was the best thing that could have happened. I never would have ended up here if I hadn't been banned for something stupid!

Update on this guy...just got this on aquariacentral.com when I inquired about a Setosa

You need to pay me what you owe me NOW
First having me banned from PBMAS just so you didnt have to pay me(WAS DIRTY)
and tell everyone that I was a good guy and not a scammer.
The lies that were thrown around about me were cruel and undeserved!
I want my money! You owe so pay me!
Dont think I dont remember what you look like. I had a table at the pbmas swap a month or 2 ago and it was all I could do to keep from making a scene.
I saw how you laughed when I asked for my money and then had me banned!
Your a real ****ty person for that!! As if the group of people that were all in it together to lie about me and say I am a thief didnt **** me off enough
NOW send me my $60 + 3.5% for the paypal fees to Paypal@*******.com
MY FEEDBACK on Reef 411 speaks for itself
I am an Industry Leader and did you the best you have EVER been done in this hobby and I want the truth told or I will make sure there isnt a human alive in this hobby that will sell to you or buy from you!

...sounds like he is threatning me :crossedlips:

 

[clowns101]

2)He's an industry leader?!?!?IM a better leader than that!...lol

Hope this gets fixed!

The worst part about it is...he was at our frag swap..****** me off, but the president didn't want to cause a scene and make him leave. I do in a way want to pay what I owe him but then I re- read this thread and it makes me not want to give him chit...
what do u guys think...should I pay him or tell him to sod off? he def does not scare me in the least...I have not had him banned from Aquaria central yet...he is selling corals in the classifieds if any one wants to look..

edit- I decided I will pay him because I did get the corals from him and I hate owing anyone anything...it's just not in my character
