[Vendor Review] Mr Skimmer

So, I have recently been onto http://nybwwrxce6injaux.onion/ The group calls themselves Mr Skimmer and apparently they sell ATM skimming materials.

Since I was looking for a supplier for a GSM-based skimmer, I contacted them and asked them a few questions.

They answered me 6 hours later already. Apparently they manufacture the skimming devices themselves. Anyway, I wanted to try out their GSM based skimming device as well as GSM pin pad. They asked me to pay 50% upfront and upon receiving and checking the package I would have to transfer the rest of the money.

I was a bit unsure about how safe this would be for me, so I asked for an Escrow. They didn't want to do that. That's already a big minus.... Especially for such a big sum, but they didn't want to do it. Apparently some people have not been releasing funds after receiving the package. That's why now, they do the 50% payment upfront.

I told them, that I wanted to do a review for their service and post it publicly but not under these conditions, so they offered me something else : They could sell me one of their skimmed cards to test for a bit of money and to proof that they are real. Well, I got myself a cc for about 100 $. It was not much money to loose anyway. I had to send them my delivery address via privnote.com so I did that. After I transferred the money to a BTC-address, I waited for a couple of days. After 5 days I was sure nothing would come anymore and it was a huge scam, but surprisingly I received a letter with a card in it. They gave me all the related data as well as the PIN and a cashout tutorial, so I tried it out at an ATM: It worked! Well, there was not much on it, I could only get 690 $ out of it, but that was actually worth it.

So since that worked, I ordered the GSM Skimmer & Pinpad for 1500$ (the 690$ I received before from the cc helped with that) and paid half of it upfront. They even gave me 100$ discount since it was for a review.

Well, they told me that it will take probably up to 6-7 days until they can ship. 2 weeks later I got the package and installed everything according to the manual. Mr Skimmer gives 48 hours after receival to test it and report any errors. My system was working (I tested it with the skimmed card) and ready for application. The GSM functionality is actually a great thing. The setup was not that easy, but after a bit of hassle and thanks to their support it was finally done.

As a conclusion I must say that it almost looked like a scam, but I am happy it wasn't.

However I still think its a bad idea to not use escrows, especially for such high sums. Thinking back about it, it was actually very stupid to buy from them. The skimmed credit card made the decision easier, but maybe that's just tactics? Who knows...

That's why I will recommend them with reservation only since I don't know what other customers experiences were. Did anyone here do business with them before?
