It stinks when this happens man. I hope you can recover your money from this guy.

Most of the scammers use the Western Union payment system because once money is sent, there is no taking it back.

Sorry to hear about this Rob. Like others said, and from personal experience, paying with a cashiers' check isn't the best method. Once it's paid for and in their hands, there's really nothing you can do.
If I were you, I would give it til Noon and then I would start posting threads about this transaction on all of the forum(s) this person is on. Nothing like a little peer pressure and public smearing to get people to respond.
It sounds like you did all the right things (except cashier's check) as they are a reputable seller, you gave them ample opportunities to send, etc.
Plus, these people need to be called out to help other reefers avoid the same crap you've had to go through with them.
I hope it gets resolved for you one way or another.

Ya, Im a little too much of a trusting guy. Maybe I rely on Karma too much.
All is good though I got ahold of his best buddy and he is going to take care of shipping the corals for me!!
I guess the dude has fallen on hard times and spent my shipping money and thats why I haven't gotten anything yet.

I'm the same way Rob...a little too trusting at times.
Glad to hear that you're going to get the goodies in the end though.

Good luck Rob. It sounds like it will all work out in the end. I just hope his friend throws in an extra large frag of something you didn't pay for just for all the trouble and headache you've gone through!
