Hello I’m new here. Willing to learn

[zakd13]

I just made an order in ChemicalPlanet.org. Then I was told to pay $200 for discreet package shipping. Is this a common scam? I appreciate an answer.

How do they want you to send them the money? BTC or in the mail?

 

[xenxra]

why would you pay anyone $200 to send you RCs on top of the product cost? you're practically scamming yourself at that point by even entertaining the idea to begin with. are they packing your magazines inside a couch shoved in a crate or something?

 

[timyboy]

Scam + insurance fee classic scam.

 

[zakd13]

Paypal bro

 

[zakd13]

If I buy something in the future. I need to study well the source to pay for it, and thanks for the advice.

 

[zakd13]

They say it’s refundable but I don’t believe that, so I didn’t pay the fee

They said that after the order. Alright

So just to clarify, you paid for a subscription and then they wanted to charge $200 postage?

Yeah

Yeah

Don’t spend any more money at sketchy websites and risk losing it all. Get a sponsorship to this site where you will find reliable people who won’t rip you off. Not saying it is not possible to get ripped off here - it happens. But there are plenty of reliable vendors, and being on this site greatly reduces your chances of getting scammed compared to random ass websites, Reddit/TG vendors, etc.

Yeah

This is not to say you will be immune to scams in the future, but cut your losses with the person you’re dealing with. Request a refund, but expect nothing. Do not be tricked out of even more money. Valuable lesson and you’re not the only one to learn it.

I echo the sentiments of my colleagues. When you’re not a sponsor you’re a magnet for scammers. Also your options are limited. Just as importantly, you’re limited in direct messages u can send right? And thats how I learned a lot from different people. This here is ok but you don’t want to have certain conversations out in the open. And I’m sorry, but p@ypaI??? Wow. Haven’t seen that suggested since even b4 I joined here.

Spending like $25 for a year will save u money in the end. Like knoff and WTF said, it’s not a shield to ward off all sketchy shit but you will learn a lot to protect yourself from scum bags. Not gonna lie it takes a little while to really get the hang of it, but it’s worth it.

Good luck!
