Is this the right forum to post this? Please see the facebook site of Dewa Ayu Putu Suwandari, he posts fantastic pics of sps for sale. But the site is a fraud and they just take people's money. They constantly change names but still use the business name AKS (PT Aneka Karang Sepajang, Bali Indonesia) and their bank is BNI Bank, swift code BNINIDJARNN, account 356819377. I hope no others are taken in by this criminal ring. There are Interpol files open against them but Indonesia is evidently too corrupt to prosecute people like these.

Another site that looks like it's run by the same people is Aqua First Bali. I can't go to these sites anymore because they unfriended me when I outed them. Please pass the word along, they have about 1500 FB friends who innocently follow them. More details can be found at the Facebook site "Saltwater Scammers".

If there is a more appropriate forum for this kind of post, please let me know or move this. Thanks.
 
so i buy imported, but i use paypal only. i recommend getting a free business license, most states have them for free. then contact some of the importers in LA cali. some are good some not so great but they all operate out of the states. where fraud gets you in prison.
 
Just bumping to put this thread into view again. Someone got in touch with me who was nearly ready to send money to these people.

Please go to their facebook page at dewa ayu putu suwandari and warn some likers about their scam. I've been cut off and cannot access their facebook page.
 
Do you apply for CITES permits for importing the corals? Both the exporter and importer need CITES permits.
Most legit exporter in Indo require a 100kg minimum order. Typically 5 to 6 large boxes.

Dave what in the world were you going to do with this order? Pm me if you found another way to go.
 
another bump. These people keep changing their name but their trademark is high quality videos and pics uploaded quite frequently. They keep using the same fake references -- Patrick Smidl, Aaron Brown, Mikey Johnson.
