Yikes Kroozer, i wish i would have seen him on the BL here and warned you.
T was the first vendor i ever went through in my life since i came "on the boards," roughly 2 years ago. I used him that one first time, and it was smooth as butter, he was awesome, and it was fast as hell! Then i found much better iops, and hadn't used an SY any longer, and well, i guess when the time came and i had to, i just never used him again.
Although his sites always remained active, he went dark a long damn time ago. He recently over the past few months sent the same email out to everyone you described. Every single person i know has gotten taken for their money. Heard issues of bad receiver, heard issues of him saying he never received even after proof of it being sent, but in 99% of cases, your money gets taken and everyone goes dark after that.
The only SY vendor i would use in the BL is use L. The only reason i said that is because ive used him in the last 10 days with 100% success, as have others. Either way, there's way better SY vendor's in the SY section man! Why not go with someone not on the BL and play it safe?!?!
Sorry that happened to you brother, if he hasn't collected your $$, run as fast as you can to go get it back!! Best of luck and im rooting for ya to not get burned bro, really am.
