Ann. It has been brought to our attention there has been a scam text going around the reefing community forums.

Please take note of the below:

( POST FROM R2R MEMBER)

Please be aware of the phone number 804-215-6891 who is a Scammer. Sent me a text message on bounce mushrooms. Indicates his R2R name is TKCorals.

Wouldn't respond to messages sent on R2R indicating his message box is full. Wouldn't send a video either and sent stock photos of mushroom corals.

Paypal: paw2paw2@hotmail.com

Do not get scammed by him/her.

Gotcha. Good example for everyone why not to post your number in the open forum. Private message is okay though if you know the other person is credible.

I just got a text from a Gmail account responding to an inquiry I made about carnation corals but Boston Reefers form doesn’t hold our phone number anywhere in there correct?

Private message or no private message. Do you know how many telemarketers call me every day. I just ignore it. Scam calls as well.
