  And why do they select you? In my experiences, unless it were by a solid, scammer of EVERYONE, everytime i panicked it was for nothing and general decency and not being a dick or plastering SCAM everywhere where, said vendors read, has always guaranteed success....albeit at a much later than hoped time. 4months for silk, a month x 2 diff domestic vendors.

     It appears to be a matter of people reading too much instead of thinking about other possibilities than being selected to be fucked over.  Like mistakes, vendors aren't professionals....in the sense I could be a vendor, make a website, never scam a soul and still be a "selective scammer", probably because of mail-related issues. Or if someone makes threats then I'd keep their money cause at that point, itd probably safer to do so and worth appearing to be a scumbag than go to prison. 

Yes. This is a hot-button issue to me. Makes me so.......Grrrrrr!!!😒

I think most of the time when people scream selective scammer (in the RC world) its b/c they never received their untracked pack or received an LL and so decided that it was never sent.  Yes, this is a possibility, or your pack just got lost or stolen in customs, or was seized and they just decided not to send a letter.   I get how people arrive at that conclusion.  I mean usualy people who don't receive get an LL, so not getting one would possibly seem fishy af.  For instance, last year i had one RC pack not show, nor an LL for it.   I also had one non-RC pack not show but it was actually tracked.  Last scan said "your item cleared customs" and then poof, gone.  No pack and no LL....Maybe ill get it a year later when they find it shoved behind something, or probably some custom's worker had a LOT of fun that weekend lol.  But if it didn't have tracking i could see how someone might jump to the conclusion that the pack was never shipped. 

 Have companies ever selectively scammed?? Most definitely, especially the kind that precipitates a full exit scam.  There's tons of scammy vendors out there who work scams in tons of different ways, including selective scams.  But i think 98% of the people screaming "selective scammers" probably don't realize that shit gets lost/stolen both in transit and in BOTH country's customs (if it gets caught in sender customs they aren't gonna send a letter to you lol) and also don't realize that US customs don't always send LLs for seized items (or send one way later than expected).  Or yeah, they freak out and then plaster Discords and forums with SCAMMERS and then a month later when their packs arrive they never come back and say OOOOPS.  Or they think if they scream loud enough on a forum they'll get a free reship or something.   The longest i had one take was 5 months, tho I've heard people claim a missing pack showed up a year later. 

Its definitely an idea that's so pervasive in the RC community, and generally so impossible to prove either way, that it will never leave.

I ❤️@DoomKitty  well sai as always....i hate when people claim to be scammed (mostly by the naive  and "uneducated (i dont mean  that in a diracotory way) when they dont take into account customs. 98% of the time if you didnt get your international order, you havent been scammed, it was seized and ISC doesnt always send LL's. Are there selective scammers? Im sure their are. Bad in reality if you want a sustainable business, and you want you repeat customers, you wouldnt selectively scam.

  1. xenxra @ xenxra: @WTF7218 it may as well be that way with how little effort some of the people on here make to find information that's exactly where you would expect it to be.
  2. ontovzik @ ontovzik: When I had long term shingles, lasting two months. All he could give me was a 10 day supply of dilaudid. He looked at the ground while we were talking about it. I could tell he was ashamed but it was the legislature and the governor that tied his hands. He was very upset that non-medical political people, the media, and the scared public were controlling how he treated his patients. Someday those people will need meds and a hospital bed and they will be gone.
  3. ontovzik @ ontovzik: I had a great doctor, he had the true gift of a healer and he stayed on top of all the science. He straight up told me that for many people opiods work for managing short and long term pain.
  4. ontovzik @ ontovzik: He peed it in the snow in my backyard.
  5. WTF7218 @ WTF7218: @xenxra 😆😂. Yes, but only a few brave souls will ever find the number. You must first order a Dirty Shirley from the bartender. Then you must discreetly take the cocktail napkin from under your drink and unfold it. There you will find the map to the location of the phone number, and clues to decipher the code that it is written in.
  6. xenxra @ xenxra: he left his phone number scribbled in a stall at the pub three blocks down
  7. N @ NYStateofMind: @Alkazar I would try one of those easy online ones .. reddit gives useful info about that
  8. Alkazar @ Alkazar: @NYStateofMind I dont really have a history of abusing things, my docotr is just really stingy. I am thinking of switching.
  9. C @ Cheesus: Thanks xenxra
  10. xenxra @ xenxra: @Cheesus yeah, use snote
  11. P @ psychedpsych: Trump is cracking down….
  12. P @ psychedpsych: Hackers are the scum of the earth
  13. N @ NYStateofMind: so it was easy bc of my history
  14. N @ NYStateofMind: I didnt really tell him but he knew I needed a new script since my dr went to jail
  15. N @ NYStateofMind: @xenxra I was on Adderall since 15 years ago so my dr prescribed that w no problems and then when I lost my best friend my doctor rxed the valiums but
  16. C @ Cheesus: Temp.pm down for anyone else?
  17. xenxra @ xenxra: @NYStateofMind my doctor's have always been pretty open minded if i can actually come in and explain the pharmacological action of the drugs im seeking instead of just telling them why i think i should be prescribed. the only time it didn't work out for me is when i was trying pharmaceuticals for depression ten years ago and suggested they let me try testosterone instead (turns out i was hypogonadal so they made a mistake denying my request at face value)
  18. T @ Testisthebest: Even down here in Florida when the pill mill docs all switched over to Suboxone and/or retired you can still find some pretty liberal docs but you gotta know what to look for. Mine does "pain management, detox, anxiety,etc. And no insurance. My doc writes me 60 5mg Valium, 14 2mg Xanax and asked if I had ever tried adderal to get more focus at work as I told him I run my own business.
  19. N @ NYStateofMind: @Alkazar do they know your history? Like I dont tell my doctor anything about myself except what they need to know,...I was able to get my dr to rx the highest dose of adderall along with valiums ..... if they dont know your history or there is no history I would just come out and ask what is the reason for their mistreatment.... they have no problem billing your insurance or taking a payment for the visit
  20. T @ Turbo259: @Layne_Cobain Thank you fam
