at that moment i was 80% sure it was a scam. but im a lil too optimistic at times , so i kept calm and patiently waited.you wind up making an order with that guy? I placed one yesterday evening and was supposed to have a TN last night. Just got home from work, no package..no TN..and no reply from him. wtf.
thats when i was pretty sure it was a scam. what are the odds, the day i place an order, your "extremely reputable" vendor is not responding to either of us.NO! I am having a nervous break down, too. I specifically ordered xans from him expecting them to be here YESTERDAY. Nothing yesterday, nor today. Not even a reply. PLEASE tell me you got in touch with him?
Sorry that happened to you but you did not take a hit for the team.i posted here a in search of a domestic supplier that carried a specific product and banksyk sent over a pm stating he/she had an awesome source.
i emailed the person in mexico, they sent over their prices and i placed an order through wu the same day. i received an email from the scammer saying they picked up the funds and i would have it overnight. the very next morning banksyk sent me a pm:

i took a major major major hit for the team.

are the vendors identified through their profile (next to the star)?Sorry that happened to you but you did not take a hit for the team.
You chose to do something very dumb, you sent $ based on a private PM from someone that's not a vendor.
There are vendors listed here, use them.
If you go with a one off sketchy source that only contacted you and no one else here would ever use them, you didn't take a hit for us.
You did something that I believe is posted in the rules here under don't do this.
Sorry it happened to you though.
It is not only us but members that report scammers. We appreciate it and rely on members to report to us. Good looking out people!They do a very good job of catching scammers here. I went to report one to the mods and he was already banned. It was within an hour and I was very impressed!
The vendors are identified bybeing in the vendor threads. Do your reading.....it is very simple. The vendors are seperated by area of the world. International,mexican, etc. read and you will learn. There is great info here. This is the best forumthere is.are the vendors identified through their profile (next to the star)?
you are right. I disobeyed and was punished. this was my first time ever experiencing anything like this (email/wu) and I will admit I can be extremely naive at times. I only need to bump my head once to get it, and trust and believe I learned my lesson and will never do this again.That is EXACTLY why we discourage soliciting information and not readingthe forums instead. If you are lazy, you get spanked. Easily. Sorry it happened toyou, there are manymany assholes out there! I amgoing to promote this thread to anyone who solicits info.
Sorry this happened to you, but a very important lesson learned. Best of luck!i posted here a in search of a domestic supplier that carried a specific product and banksyk sent over a pm stating he/she had an awesome source.

yeah, that hit was very expensive.
on a brighter note, the universe sent some good karma my way that somewhat balanced the loss.
i just keep thinking maybe the scammers needed the funds to take care of a sick relative or to buy food for hungry children. /default_dry.png
if not, sucks to be them when the bad karma hits, hard.
