nermedshealth@gmail.com is a scammer

[ADarkenedC1ear]

A member in a different forum has been emailing me about his experiences and whatnot and I've shared mine. I was complaining about a source I was using so he told me about his "best" source and it really seemed trustworthy. Boy was I wrong. I let my guard down and he's totally a scammer who most likely is nermedshealth@gmail.com, the "best" source he told me. I tried to get A214's. After I sent payment he tells me he's out of A214's and theres only packs of A215. The packs were twice the amount I ordered, and apparently they can't be split up. And of course it costs more. I knew what was happening so I refused to send anymore funds. Then all of a sudden he has a distributor in my area and he can meet somewhere. I'm like, "yea… right." So I say meet me at walmart. He says his guy will be there, but theres a $100 delivery fee. (I'm sure you see where this is going) So I'm not budging and now I got emails and phone calls, all threats - LE and some random guys who are going to visit my house. The guy I was dealing with went by Brandon, his partner, Nate texted me and said he'll refund my order minus 150 for his guy's time being wasted. I haven't received a cent back. He asked me for paypal info, so I sent him receiver's invoice through paypal. I'm pretty upset with myself for trusting some randoms. But I did do a google search and he used to do good business at one point, but now he's a drug addicted cluck that scams people. I'll just chalk this as a charitable donation with my taxes, I still have the Moneygram receipt.

I have been contacted on my private email address by someone purporting to belong to another forum, where I have recently tried to register.  I guess he spotted my email address there. Anyway, his first email purported to come from one of the other users of that forum and welcomed me to the board; then said "if you have any questions or need help finding a legit vendor, please ask". This set alarm bells ringing for me - it is never so easy and immediate to get a good source, and this particular forum asks its members to post a number of times before having access to the best sources. Nothing falls into your lap, and quite rightly so. You do the research, you read the threads fully and you will find good sources. Anyway, I sent a thanks to this emailer and in his next mail, he dropped the email address above, nermedshealth@gmail.com and a name, Brandon.  By now, I was very suspicious and a quick check online with the other forum showed up a warning message just like the one starting this thread.  So thank you to the poster on that forum and on this for a very timely warning.  I don't think I would have taken the risk of contacting this guy, but it was very good to see so quickly that it was a scam.  A thousand thank yous, A Darkened Clear, and I am really sorry you had such a rough time.

Sounds like a bad scam going on. I hope you both reported it at the other forum. If it's a legit forum they would want to know about this happening.

You are right, it's not that easy and if anyone approaches you on this forum with a "great" vendor who isn't listed here, please report them.

We consider scammers the lowest form of life and we love it when members help us catch them.

Thanks, Grand Poobah. I haven't been able to post on the other forum as they haven't activated my account yet but I have sent Contact messages to them to alert them and the same post as at the top of this thread has also appeared in their Blacklist.  The email I got was from "Blackpat76" and apparently he used to be a member at the other forum.  It really does concern me that a scammer picked up my email from an online forum when my account hadn't even been activated, but I am afraid that is what must have happened. A bit scary!  Avoid at all costs.

If my post was able to save you from giving money to those slimeballs, then you make my situation a little better. Yea Im kinda new to the whole online forum vendor thing, so I was a bit eager to make something happen. Unfortunately I did not have enough experience to differentiate a scammer from a legit vendor. I just hope my posts help more from throwing away their hard earned dollars to some low-lifes. And I did post my experience on all the forums I'm a member of.
