for future reference can you tell us the person so that we do not get ripped off by him or her?

if you did not do both of these, then you'll have no case. you'd have no proof that you were supposed to trade, or you have no proof that the person got your corals. i'm personally in the same boat, and am getting tired of the responses i'm getting from someone i sent a bunch of base rock to.
i honestly doubt you will get anything out of this though. the best thing is to make others aware and maybe someone will take pity and give you a freebie or something.

This guys name is Mark Buckner aka Mark Pitts. Someone else posted about his scam and I didn't read it until the day I shipped out my coral. On another site (--), he scammed several people, and with the help of the local police he is paying everyone back for the shipping and the costs of the corals. I still have not been able to contact him. His email address is xtremebudman01@aim.com, his user names are cokemanmark, and hunter13006. Not sure about this site. I will keep you updated to the outcome of this scam.

Insist on tracking numbers/delivery confirmation numbers.
Person 1 makes 'deposit' into person 2's account via Paypal. (This way, Paypal can help if the transaction goes awry.)
Person 2 mails their box. When person 1 receives it, they turn around and mail their box back to Person 2. When person 2 receives their package, they refund the deposit back to Person 1.
Person 1: No box received? File claim with PayPal.
Person 2: no box received? Keep deposit.
Just a thought--haven't really thought it through.

Is this the same guy? If it is ok, if not lets put it in the classifieds. This is not the forum to do it in; that's why the classifieds were created. Good luck, Barry

it is considered mail fraud.
i got scammed on eb@y, and with the co-operation of 4 other people, the guy went away to jail for 7 years.
