Beware don’t do business with azndrift06. I drove 6 hrs through traffic and $60 worth of gas to his location to buy a scoly. He told me to come at 8am because he works in the afternoon. I have all text messages to prove everything stated.Buyer never showed up. Left 2 voicemails on his phone which was turned off , 4 text messages, and several pm through Tapatalk through Socalireefs. He was online because his green circle was lit but was not responding. I also knew he was online later in the evening on Tapatalk and he never called, texted, apologized nothing. If it was an accident I let him know reefer to reefer a mistake could be fixed. I already spent enough money and gas for the scoly that I was buying. He could have offered it to me for free and fedex it overnight to make it right. Being a honest and trustworthy reefer I sent him a text and offered him $100 and if he could fedex it overnight out of that funds I provided him, even though he didn’t deserve that, but I figured he would get some money still and I would get my scoly. It is now late evening and still no word or agreement to fix this situation. If he reads this he can still make it right and I will clear his name, it is up to him. If not buyers beware before traveling any distance or doing business with azndrift06.

Did you not have an address? Sorry this happened. I would have woke the whole house up if I drove that far.

Curious to hear the other side of the story... maybe it was a mistake or something happened.

Or Maybe he was drifting in and out of consciousness and over slept.

Yes I do have an address which I won’t post on here but it leads to townhouses but he didn’t give me the apt # otherwise there’s no way he could of fallen asleep lol. If he forgot it’s understandable but he can still fix it and make it right , I’m giving him that chance. Like stated above I will still give him money if he will ship it fedex overnight even though this whole ordeal cost me half a day and a tank of gas more than what the scoly cost. I’m willing to forgive just he needs to answer my texts and make it right. This can all be water under the bridge.

Way to take the high road on this. Hopefully he makes it right. If I was still a mod here Id drop the ban .

I will always call or text before I leave. Something to think about for the future to avoid something like this.

I left 2 voicemails, several texts , sent several pm on Socalireefs, left a message on his post and waited over an hour at the address hoping someone would show up. Exhausted all resources.

This is a perfect example of why the 50 minimum meaningful posts rule needs to be enforced. Granted the seller has been a member sense 2013. He still only has 18 posts and I can bet most of them are sell threads.

There was a time here when we all talked on threads and joked around. By doing this we got to know the good refers. Now everyone wants to sell to be the next frag star millionaire.
There was a day when FSM were looked down on like trash.

I mean prior to leaving, receive a confirmation that you are still on. People are flakes. Especially if you drive so far.

There are no mods these days so it is what it is.

I’ve done a deal with Gari.

He’s not a scammer. But he’s got a super busy schedule and he also works night shift (in IT). So if it was the middle of the night you would’ve only woken his neighbors and not him.

He’s a legit person and has a nice tank. But if you’ve ever worked night shift, you’re essentially a zombie during the day when most people want to interact so I can see how he would forget something.

With that said, not excusing anything done or whatever, not justifying it nor condemning since we don’t know the whole story.

When I did finally drop off corals to him it was after a long time of coordinating. And just before leaving I texted and had confirmation with ETA and stuff. Cause he’s far from me too.

Any way. Give him a second chance. But be diligent and over communicate.

I understand. I also have done deals with you before remember the bounces and Sherman lol. That’s why I’m leaving it on the table for him to make it right. If he’s such a stand up guy he would of messaged me or texted me and apologized by now you think?? I believe in honesty and fairness and it’s been a day and he still hasn’t tried to reach out to me, so what am I suppose to believe. Just wanted to warn people to let them know the truth and to beware especially if he does this to someone else.

I thought everyone is connected to their mobile phones nowadays. Seems flaky to me. He could have responded at some point or canceled the meeting after finding out he had to go to work. Now if he's sitting in the hospital in a coma forgive my rudeness.

No he is around or at least connected to Socalireefs or Tapatalk. The green circle was lit over 2 hours ago I seen him online. I know he read all this and apparently has nothing to say. You can only lurk in the shadows so long lol.
