Same here, No reply. I am very worried. He will not return any of my e-mails. Looks like we my have been scammed along with a whole lot of people!!! He is still getting feedback as of yesterday for selling a fish keeping CD.

Yea, I saw that he still made sales from his books and cd's. But he won't reply to my emails. The more I talked to people that brought his auction, the more i am concerned that we all got scammed. It was too good to be true. THE BIGGEST ONLINE SCAM EVER!!!

Wow, that sux. I hope he just got busy or there was a mistake somewhere. It does look like he had some previous sales with some feedback before the he started selling them for his friend that died. I hope he hasn't decided to just screw everyone over at one final shot.

It's getting harder to trust new people selling fish, especially zebs, now-a-days. It will ruin things for new legit people selling zebs in the future.

The username belonged to the man that passed away as well as the Paypal account. I have filed a Paypal claim. I sent this guy $2,160 and am not going to let him get far.

Ouch... you dropped twice as much as I did. We are not going to let him get far because all of us got a good investment with him. And he live in the US. Easier to deal with then across the pond. I would recommend all that brought from him file a claim with Paypal to protect yourself in case this is a scam. If it is not a scam you can cancel your claim anytime.

Mine are due to arrive today, I think it's strange that he hasn't listed any more livestock.

I filed a claim wiht Paypal. I'm not sure if I'll all the money back ($1921). It look like a scam to me now. The guy name is David Pugh and he draws money from William Armstrong - the supposedly deceased guy.

Sorry guys, i don't understand.
Don't you regognize a scam when you see one?
This guy had a positive feedback that high for selling PDF-files!
Expensive lesson this way.
Better get a good contact with a breeder before you buy zebra's.


Btw sorry for your losses, all of succes in recovering your money!

Is this for real? He probably made over 10K scamming various people (from Plecos to Cichlids) in two weeks - is there no way to get the police into this?

I know it won't do much, but good luck getting your money back.

Payal only covers losses if the seller has the money in their Paypal account, which is very unlikely. He's probably had enough time to clean out the account.

I also bought some zebras from this guy too. Tried to contact this guy but no luck.
I think that we got scamed. It was a pretty good one. He had a great back story to sell his scam. Expensive lesson learned, hard to trust people now.
