So, obviously I'm new here, but I want to share this experience because, while I didn't do enough homework here, which would've saved me the grand I lost, I also didn't see any mention of these scams. Maybe there is mention of this already. And if there is please add this post to that thread.
I won't post the url, but I'll explain what it is. It isn't in the rules that I could see, but I saw a post stating talk of dark n3t is frowned upon. I don't know much on it either. Only what's been in the news here and there as it relates to s1lk rd. I didn't know about using these different browsers like t0r or anything like that. All I knew was a name. So, this url I'm talking about is to a forum that looks pretty legit. It's called s1lk rd d2rk n3t. Says registration is closed til feb 1st 2015. This was in January that I was looking into this and knowing they had been in trouble I thought ok, maybe it just has something to do w/ that. Also stated all verified sellers have a grand in escrow an to contact them via email.
Then you get into the threads. These threads have 45 pages...20 pages...25 pages etc. of back an forth w/ members and admin, mods. Everything looks good. Menus an price are great...so I contact the one email...great back and forth. I should've known it wasn't right when I hadn't emailed him for 2 days and now he's emailing me! But I'm new to this. Long story short, send the $ to his "drop". And what really bugs me is he emailed sayin got it shipped out. Not a problem. Dude, you got your $. Do you really need to make it worse w/ that by getting my hopes up? Was supposed to be free overnight shipping. It's now been a week and he doesn't reply to ANY of my emails. I sent him an email from my other account asking if he ships to Can and he replies within hours. Then I say great, so my order should be here any day now. He gets upset and says it's against board policy to send fake emails and he's reporting to admin lol.
I say what admin??? Because after a few days I start looking at this "forum" a lot closer. When you ask to see posts within the last year only one post shows up from "the admin" saying "I've been getting a lot of great feedback for you. Keep it up." So there's been zero posts on this site for over a year.
My bad, obviously, but if I can save even one newbie from falling for this, I'll feel good about that. He obviously is still doing well w/ his scam if he's keeping that forum running. Each time I look at it there's always 4 or 5 guests. Again, I won't post the link in case that's against the rules, but if I should post the link to show ppl what exactly I'm talking about let me know.
The emails to look out for from this guy are 420medicationsATgmail fastships32ATgmail and there's 2 others I think.
Anyway, I'm just looking to save anyone from going through this BS. Wish I had done a lil more detective work.
If this has been listed already please just merge my experience. If this doesn't jive w/ what should be posted here please delete.
Thanks!
