[Mzungu]

I haven't checked to see if the website is up again, but does anyone have any updates on this? Just curious...I hope everyone's not still waiting... :(

[Mzungu]

Well, just checked the website. It says the following:

"Planet Inverts Store Closed: The Planet Inverts Store is currently closed and not accepting any new orders until further notice. Any past orders will be dealt with as soon as possible. The store will be closed indefinitely and will not reopen until all past orders have been rectified. Please visit the Contact Page if you have any questions.

he's just the southbound side of a northbound donkey for treating people the way he dealt with them. Luckily any money transactions I have had online I used paypal and requested my money back in time... :-/

[screename]

[mgarrido]

Thats a really expensive lesson... ouch!

[Fire_chair]

Did anything end up happening to that Ryan guy?

[Totenkampf]

i know this is a really old and, to some, painful thread but since the interwebs is forever it is still relevant. I was reading about suitable shrimp for hard(er) water -> sulawasi shrimp -> cardinal shrimp -> ventralfins.com -> this thread and by chance also had a tab open for alpha pro breeders. it appears that APB has purchased the planetinverts website and I was curious if it is known if this company is somehow related to either of the previous website owners who were involved with not refunding all those purchases?

[eklikewhoa]

they are sponsors on PT and have no association with the previous scammers according to them.

Correct I have met Ron Mcgee after he took it over in januari of 2010.
This message is still on their website.
