Scam in this forum

[tanVincent]

this one tips the iceberg, i received news that one reefer's ts12 went missing after he collected some item from the informant .

he said he have no proof, but suspect some lightfingerness...

[andylee]

let him keep buying and buying. post his number and address here. so that he got no way to re-sell whatever he bought.

and since this guy is so shameful, and legally speaking nothing can be done, perhaps need for some "behind-the-scene" actions to be taken?

guys who have got stuffs from him shld noe his exact address? demand refunds from him, or his parents

[noob]

Just finished reading the thread and realised I am not the only one cheated. US zoas my ar**! Was promised a free clam too but no sound from him for 1 week after my purchase. Called and smsed him many times without answer before he finally returned call saying he was arrested by police for assault. I refused to listen and simply told to F off. How I wished it was true LOL.

So all reefers beware this MF Kenny (nick Vandeam) staying off Pasir Panjang near SATA and he wouldn't mind you going over even in the middle of the night. His hp number can easily be found in his sales thread.

Well done to the reefer who started this thread.

[BFG]

That's it liao.....think must ask newbie to be aware of this thread.

[andylee]

mind posting his full address here?

i was always wondering why he got discounts at nite.. now i noe why he needs to let go his stuffs fast..

[DCH]

Oh he lied to get out of something....

Nothing new... take a look a this thread

[noob]

Forgotten his address cos it happen a few months back if not I would have posted it here.

Any reefers who receive pms or smses from this guy, please ignore. Money is hard to earn.

[sky107line]

Well..well, It's seems like Starsky ( Vandeam) finally get caught conning ard??? Err...But what about his bussinezz partner which is Hutch ( ??? ) he's still @ large and maybe he still waiting for his turn to sell his rare U.S zoa to the newbee!!! Beware!!! Coz this is not the end!!!

[aCe^bOwleRz]

Lucky me I guess. I just started marine and was looking for liverocks and PM him about it since he has huge quantities and he has Tonga and Figi liverocks.

In the end, I bought from another reefer who is very helpful and trustworthy as he was selling his skimmer to me

I am new to marine but as I am not working, I try to find good deals around forum to help me start this hobby.

Guess I have to be more careful at all times, but it's just a minority of reefers that are out to cheat on newbies

[dav]

don't think this fella will disappear just like that cos he can change his nick and hp no.But not his address so those who know can post something like bukit panjang no. 4*

[Earth]

Sure he rich?? I remembered last time when i am giving away a squirrel fish and he so kancheong diedie wan to collect it even its 2am then! Say he got some reefer giving him a lift at that moment so he didn't want to miss the chance. Keep ringing me till my family waken up by his nonsence...

Lucky in the end didn't give to him or else i am sure he will sell it off to a newbie telling them its a rare fish from some faraway country!

[Homer]

after reading the posting,i cant help but to feel sorry for him and his parents.

he probably lives in his own world of imagination,a smart alec that think highly of himself.

he dont need the money,its the thrill of conning reefers,a way to make big bucks,and he is proud of it.the pride in him.

will he stop?i dont think so,after this posting is out for 2 days,last night he is still selling stuff at pasa malam...

." caught me if you can","i got other ways to do it"."you all got no prove".it had become a challange to him,and he is enjoying it.the attention that he seek.

he is winning it.

we were all young and navie once,we do seek our own thrill.but everything had to come to a stop.

to whom it may concern,please dont do it again.

i had no dealing with you before,so maybe i shouldn't comment.

QUOTE : "selling fake indo zoos as us zoos....to get attenttion or as a challange to herself!!"

Alas...dear reefer pls do a good deed by showering this young gal here with love and care...in hoping that she will do good to the reefing comm. in return!!!

Do give her a bear hug whenever anybody sees her in a LFS or Farm from now on....

[xiaochew]

its him not her.

[Reefaholic]

Har? Any idea where is him now?

[tanVincent]

seems like so many people had pent up anger against him. It seems that i opened the floodgate somehow

[Paul1211]

U sure did a good n right thing exposing his scam. Hope that new reefers will see this thread n be aware of such cheater is around.

[RockyBoy]

You did the right thing or else more people will loose their $$$ and he will gain lots...

Good job!!

[escagort]

Mod should make a sticky out of this thread to raise awareness for newbie like myself

extremely rare, almost extinct squirrelfish from a 1m x 1m spot in the middle of the atlantic ocean .....

haha, i remember once when a friend of mine was approached by him. He wanted to sell his flame angel and 1.5 inch yellow tang for like 100+ dollars. He told my friend that it is extremely hard to find a yellow tang that is 1.5 inch. After hearing that, I told my friend, either the fish is stunted or it will one day grow big. Each of the cases means that the fish is still worthless in the end

trickeries....
