Seems a couple friends have been scammed. One answered a "Free Fish" ad they both bought the story...hook...line...and sinker! The guy must be good, these are prominent men in our community. I tried to search knowing this topic has been discussed. Maybe ewest will come to the rescue. They ask me to post here and see if any other feedback. The no credit card, bank wire only, was a hint.

there's more... use the Search function. enter the words "free fish" and make sure to use the quotes around the words free fish. Allow it to search All Forums (the default, I believe). Oh yeah make sure to extend the time frame out...like...maybe newer than 3 or 4 years.

Here's one "free fish" search result. I had forgotten DD dealt with these guys once, too. Free Fish

Al, the guy has been doing it for years. He uses the sumthin fer nuthin hook or 2fer hook. PT Barnum said it best.
He almost got me years ago but I decided to ask for advice on stocking rates. I was tied up and asked my Brother to check on it and cut the deal. He did, with my money. I called and canceled the order and the guy threatened me with an old fashioned butt whuppin. I never could get him to make an appointment. The guy has done time for his cons but it doesn't stop hum.
It's not about the fish. It's about the pond. Take care of the pond and the fish will be fine. PB subscriber since before it was in color.
