IS TYRONE SIZER FROM TNT CICHLIDS STILL SCAMMING HOBBYISTS OF THEIR HARD EARN $$$$   ???


       Tyrone Sizer once a prominent cichlid dealer in the USA has now moved from the light into darkness.
Tyrone owes at least 7 people money and have not delivered any fish. What he has delivered are a lot of stories / excuses,.

The stories range from

1: The pipes broke in my basement.

2: The exporter sent fish that were in real bad shape so I am waiting for the exporter to send replacements.

3: The shipment is going to come in on Friday, or next week or next Saturday, or next month.

4: The shipment is delayed because of the volcano overseas.

5: I am going to give you extra fish when the shipment comes in.

6: I will refund your money next week , next month, when I sell the fish that I have in stock.

7: There were more but I can’t find all of the emails from different people.

 

I am just surprised he did not use the old standby excuse,  my dog ate the paper work.

 

If you have recently put in an order with TNT Cichlids and you have used a credit card or PAYPAL

Put in a complaint NOW…..  There are other more reliable fish dealers out there.

 

 

He scammed a unsuspecting hobbyist out of $450.00 and he posted that complaint on WWW.Petrochromis.com .

That post got out of hand and subsequently was removed from the site.

 

Also a post on www.monsterfish.com

http://www.monsterfishkeepers.com/forums/showthread.php?419877-TNT-Cichlids-Anyone-heard-of-them

 

I also know of an additional 6 other hobbyist that have also been scammed out of their hard earned money.

At the bottom of this is a series of emails from me and Tyrone of how he scammed me out of $463.00 11 months ago ….

Tyrone has scammed a prominent cichlid dealer out of money 2 years ago.

Tyrone has scammed a person from Trophs.com / Petrochromis.com who I really care about,

(this person was always helping anyone that he could on the forum.).

 

Tyrone’s site always has some nice message on the main page.

An example of this is Due to the Volcano the expected shipment will be delayed.

The shipment is coming in the second week in April, then May then September.

DON’T BE FOOLED ACT NOW ….. Get your money back if you can ….  FIND ANOTHER DEALER…..

 

Tyrone has scammed 6 people for over 2000.00+ dollars and not delivered any fish.

I am told that there are more victims of Tyrone out there but are too embarrassed to come forward , my

word to them, “Don’t be embarrassed” …. In today’s world it is easy to get scammed. 

 

                                WWW.TNTCICHLIDS.COM    Please stay away:    

 

Any other people taken advantage in this scam please send email and proof.

Some people just mess with the wrong people…..

 

Legal action is on the way , but you must have proof …

Civil suit and then a placement in the form of a lean.

You may not get your money back but this I won’t let go.

And you won’t have to pay a dime win or lose….

I have a lawyer in the family who says this is a piece of cake for him….
Hopefully a judgement is down the road ….
Below is a series of emails from Tyrone and me starting back from last year 2010.

 

 

Hi Frank

Tyrone,
I thought about this whole new situation of you putting in a new order of fish, forget about it, I am not in.
I would just like my 463.50 from the original order from the fish that you were supposed to get for me.
It's not my responsibility who you do business with or what happens.
You told me that you would get me those fish, and I gave you the money.
That is it, just give me back the money...... no more stories....
I have tried to keep this as a private matter for all of these months,
as I understand that going public via the Internet is not a good thing for business.
The right thing to do is just give me back the money.
You have money for another order but not enough to give me back my money at the end of April (that has passed) as you stated.
Frank

Hi Tyrone,
I think that more than enough time has passed for you to get my petros(4 months).
I would like you to refund my $463.50. If in the future you get these fish in
and are willing to sell to me, I would like to purchase them from you at your full price.
Frank

my PayPal account is guppyblks@aol.com


BTW did you ever check out my www.PetrochromisMan.com a lot of Petrochromis hobbyists have been going to the site.
A guy wanted to buy the site from me for for $2,600.00 .... and have me write articles for 50.00 each.
Still thinking about it......

Frank

I will check with him.

Thanks

 

The last contact was 3 phone call to him at the end of June 2011….. He said he would return all of my money on three different occasions.

On there different dates. No contact with Tyrone up to the present….. 

The pressure is on, perhaps he might clean up his act….. 

 

Bottom Line : FIND ANOTHER DEALER UNTIL HE CLEANS UP HIS ACT  …..

 

 

My contact is guppyblks@aol.com

 

Good luck

Enjoy the hobby

 

Things are not the same as when I use to raise tropical fish when I was much younger …. Too much junk going on….

Once again ,

Enjoy the hobby. 

 

 

 

Here is just another person telling his story.

The Fish So I Asked Him For A Tracking Number, He Gave A Bogus Number So I
Called Him And He Said That The Bags Busted In Transit So No Fish Again This Guy
Is So Full Of **** Its Not Even Funny.

Can I post your email on my petrochromisman.com site ????

 Yes You Can


The above was posted by  Morpheus  ….

 

The latest post on the main page from TNT on 10/11/2011 was  as follows:

 

19 Boxes of Fish have arrived

Thanks to all our customers who have waited many months for their fish to come. I know its been a long time, one exporter took our money, however I kept searching for someone special, and yesterday he  delivered 19 boxes only 6 dead.  I will start shipping shortly.

No matter what you read I will never steal your money, beside that my wife would kill me. I work very hard to get quality fish. Your wait is over Thank You All.

Then why can’t this  guy Morpheus get his money back.  Why can’t the rest of the people get their money back…..

The fish that they have ordered are not even the fish you have in, if in fact you have any fish.

Just another fish tale ….   Do not send money to Tyrone……..  If you buy fish from Tyrone meet with him

“See the fish , then buy the fish (pay for them at the meet only)” but do not send any form of a deposit to Tyrone….. Find another dealer.

 

Lets see what will on the main page in 2 weeks  …..

 

After Morpheus’s, the mis-transaction (my new word  … LOL) 

I will then go down the list of people that TNT CICHLIDS still owes money to including me.

 

Well , I don’t think ordering and paying for one type of fish and not getting anything for months with all kind of crazy excuses,

then getting fish that you did not order ……. Is “OK” ….

Well getting something is better than getting nothing  and having your money taken ….

That does not work for me…..

That is just not right……  I just don’t care…..  That is not the solution ……. 

Ask yourself , what happens if it were your money in this transaction ?
So I close this case  of $450.00….

 

Next case coming up (I will have to check with the next victim if I can post his emails.)….

Then finally my case  ….

11/29/2011:
Well Tyrone is at it again.   Take a look at his new list of fish he claims he  is getting in posted 11/26. Don’t be fooled  …

Next
