Skymedpharmcy.com Gone?

[jackwade]

I have been using Marcos for a long time. Under the original address and then both @gmail  And his second email was also @gmail....Regular customer here, for years.. Only have a problem until recently. 

My question is, who is the real Marcos? this "art" address you mention is not what he contacted me under after he "disappeared". Maybe I just missed this entire "art" email era. Im from the original skymed website era, and the @gmail era.

Any other of M's regular private customers read this I would appreciate someone to chat a bit with about recent events?  I was also one of his steady solid customers that was selected for private service. His @gmail era private customers  I guess is who I am looking to talk to.

JW I started using Marcos in 2010. I had also used him for years with NO problems. He was fantastic to work with. That is up until last year. I suppose it is possible somebody hacked his email. Or maybe he got rid of some of his clients. But I got an email from who I thought was Marcos at the beginning of 2014 telling me the email address was changing to the Arturocordova one I mentioned previously. He had emailed me a couple of times and something was telling me it was a scam. I did finally break down last summer though and got a small order and sure enough I got screwed. Always listen to your instincts !!!  So that's my story. So your telling me you have used him at the marcosescalante address ???  When did you order last??

If a vendor is contacting you about placing an order there's something wrong....  Run away!

I understand your point however it was not unusual in the four years I was using Marcos for him to email me periodically to see if I wanted to order - offering to reduce shipping, etc. He would also let me know when he was going on vacation ...or if it was a holiday weekend he would remind me to get my order in early. Back to JW..I was always using a gmail account and the email I received from the other Arturo email in February 2014 was basically stating he was dropping off the radar and would only be working with a select number of customers from now on. There is one other person on here who responded to my post from a while back who knew somebody who had my same experience.

Hi Pooner,

Edited: Pooner I forgot to answer your question! I have been using M under the second @gmail since the 2014 change without a problem. Last order was a few weeks ago and the first time I had a problem. No word yet on whether hes going to make good on it.

You are right it is normal for good customers to be contacted first sometimes. Marcos did this a few times under his original email.

This Arturo thing sounds like a scam to me and I am very sorry to hear that.

So after Arturo you did not have any @gmail experience? I can confirm that there was indeed a second @gmail that was sent out. It was actually done during active communication with the @gmail first address. The marcosesc one (redacted) was speaking to me in 2014 when he suddenly emailed from a new @gmail and said "Lets use this email now, there is a security problem." My timeline recollection on that is poor but it was 2014 I feel he said the second @gmail was going to be used now because of "security problems" I do remember that very clearly.

This second @gmail was definitely Marcos I believe, now that I jog my memory a bit, because he knew a lot of details and preferences without being told.

So seems we cracked the case Pooner so thank you...M is still around as of this summer. And indeed there was a extortion/security problem (I later was targeted for extortion) shortly after this security problem before this Arturo in 2014. I assume the suppliers demanded access to the emails so they can collect marks and targets. Marcos said he does not use these type of people (cartel) suppliers anymore, and thats why he has shortages of supply. He prefers to use pharmacy suppliers that are not fully affiliated with these thugs. As M said "There are other suppliers, but I like to stay out of trouble" He insinuated that they caused problems for him. This Arturo email guy was most likely taking the info from the original M email, and ripping off and trying to extort as many people as possible. I may or may not have received a phone call from the same people the Arturo email "works for". Alright! thats enough story time for the masses.

Anyway, I still have a problem as of July and would like to hear from second @gmail M customers if there's any around to chat with.

Yes he had two email addresses - one at yahoo I believe and the gmail account. I had used the yahoo account when I first started with him but it changed maybe a year later in 2011. So for the most part I had always been emailing him at his gmail account.  Nonetheless, I don't really trust - or wouldn't trust whatever stories I hear from a BM vendor of any kind. maybe you will get lucky but I don't hear of anybody on this site who has any recent transactions with him. I have pretty much gotten the same story as what I shared - once in this thread and in a couple of the other threads I've posted in over the last year. 

**Forgot to mention, please let me know how things go for you. I said a little prayer for you so I hope you don't lose  your money. I'm sure there are many of us here who would like to know...?

The fact the timeline of 2014 with Arturo email matches when I received the second new @gmail at the same time in 2014 and said there was a security problem, seems to have been confirmed when I started having bigger more complicated problems (phone calls). M has also had supply and shortage problems for months and made zero apologies about it saying he would not use main suppliers unless things got very desperate. This was since the 2014 Arturo/ second @gmail split came into play. This all makes sense now.

This arturo email was definitely never the real M in my opinion. I am glad you came forward otherwise I would have not been able to piece together this timeline and figure out whether I had been dealing with M all along or not. I emailed M again and asked if he was going to make things right. I have my fingers crossed Pooner, but word is he lost not just mine, but the entire customers orders each time the store confiscates them.

It would be very poor business sense for him to burn me now over 1 lost order after years of being a steady customer. But since he seems to keep to himself and probably doesn't have the backing he used to have, so he might not be able to afford to make things right with me. I'm out 4 figures for now.

I was hoping to find some of the @gmail customers of 2015 Summer in hopes that maybe M could be held responsible in some way. But it seems he is fully private since 2014 and like you said Pooner, no one seems to have any experience aside from this Arturo email scammer and I am the only person I know right now who carried over to the second @gmail

I emailed Marco on in August  2015 and he set up a purchase and he went to pick up money on the 20th but have never heard from him again and am out the funds.  I had know him for several years and was always treated right.

Since someone is still out there answering emails and taking money, I asked admin to put this on the blacklist.

Don't want anyone else to suffer the fate of John Michael and no successful orders have been reported from M in ages.

I'm still out with M. He went ghost and was still taking donations while avoiding communication. Blacklist justified.

Hello everyone. I too was a long time ( skymed days ), customer of Marcos. When sky went dark I got the email from Marcos. I received great service until July 2015. Money was collected but that was it. I did receive an email after this, like 2 weeks later that acknowledged I was owed but have heard nothing since. In that last email I was told he was thinking of quitting. This was a great loss for me as I only used his service. Now I am trying desparately to fill that void. I am hoping this site can assist me with this.

I was another longtime subscriber to M's service. He was on point with his stuff for a long long time. I'm talking 5 years or so, with no major service interruptions. That was until I recieved the email from Arturo last year, saying he was back in business, and everything felt wrong. I went to pay the first time but MG blocked the payment. Which had never happened to me before, but i didn't find too unusual, so i went with WU and once the fetti was picked up i never heard from him again.

I'll add this puzzling piece of information. About six months ago, i recieved an email, from a person that everyone on this board apparently uses now. The thing is, M was the only one who ever had my info. I never signed up for any sites or anything like that. Just used my main email. This leads me to believe either A) M is still in the game and just uses a new alias B)The Arturo Person was a different person, scammed me, and then went legit and is now one of the most respected vendors on this board. C) They all share clientele and/or are part of the same network.

Take that for what it's worth, but i'm always prepared to never recieve my services at any particular time. These people are sketchy. They may be great for however long, but trust me at some point or another, maybe 5 years down the line, you'll get burned. It's the reality of it.

 

[2earls]

I would go with "C". I think that they have almost all worked with or for each other and many of our current vendors are all in some kind of group together. Working seperate but part of some type of network.

5 years is an eternity in this business and you are right that it is not going to last, but we know this is a risky and crazy thing and it amazes me to this day that it works at all.

Over the years, it's a lot of the same, recycled vendors, just a new name and website. @Icyveins is right in that we hope for the best but prepare for the worst.

He had serious trouble and in his final days I guess entire batches of his shipments were all confiscated every time he dropped them off. He allegedly had a tail following his shipper and then taking everything. Confirmed by a few different sources. Ancient history either way.

He had no choice but to retire as someone was giving very good information and it was probably someone who was close to him. probably an angry friend etc.
