Just sharing a scamming post

Dear all, especially new members

Be wary and cautious when purchasing fishes via internet. Lately there's someone under the name Vergil's Yamato (which is a nickname)who tried to trick and also circulate photos of discus fish which belong to others and claiming that he has the fries of that fish without even giving us a solid proof that he have that fish or the fries itself. He then attempted to sell to unsuspecting customers.

When someone found out that he is using someone else's photo and began to question him, he deleted that photo, and now he has already deleted his facebook account it seemed. His attempt to con was thwarted. Hope someone could apprehend that culprit or if not, spread this news around. I do not have the photos however. Hope someone could repost the pics of fish that he posted to to refresh your memories.

Before purchasing, do ask around for recommendations. Look at their facebook profiles. If it's full of fish photos of their shipments and also their facebook profile is not a recently created in less then a year, then you are pretty safe.

Then again, do ask around for recommendations to be safe.

There was a so called fish breeder idiot in town that tried posting pics of fish that he didn't own and selling his sick ugly fish instead. He was called out on that quickly and took down his posts. It makes me sick when people do that.

It happens a lot in Discus,  People who steal are the lowest of the low, and if you are a thief you are a liar as well.  Real Discus people know who is good and who is junk.  In my book anyone who steals is junk. These dishonest people lure in the new and unsuspecting.  I hate it, but there is nothing I can do about it.

These nuts are doing it with angels too. They're usually caught, but sometimes snare a few victims first.....thanks for the heads up..
