I'm an idiot. Already know it. But for anyone that receives any type of message from this person claiming to have what you're looking for, trust me they don't. I directly sent them 20 bitcoins in an exchange that was suppose to get me the product request I posted by yesterday. Instead, I'm out 20 bitcoins. This has already been reported to mods and I was encouraged to go ahead and out the person, even though it pretty much verifies that I'm an idiot. I'm a chronic pain patient, I was desperate to find a better deal for Fent patches, and I trusted someone I shouldn't have trusted. Here's the summary of the story, as reported to admin. and SR support. After that, I'm just going to go ahead and post all the messages that led up to the exchange, including the final one saying that my DCN was on its way. Needless to say, it never got there.
If this person disputes this, I invite you to post the DCN you "forgot" to send me and show that it was mailed on the date you said it was mailed and is now happily on its way to my place. That'll shut me up. Pretty sure that number will never get posted.
SUMMARY REPORT TO ADMIN:
I posted a product request in the forums on June 4th and had a forum member post that he was able to get the product I was looking for easily, but that he didn't want to expose himself by signing up as a vendor. Against my better judgment, and for some reason more comfortable with him being an SR buyer that posted a direct link to his buyer stats, trusted him and on June 5th paid 20 bitcoins directly into his account in payment for what he said was a 100 mcg Fentanyl patch. He wrote to me on the night of the 5th, told me that this had been mailed out, and that he would soon send my DCN to me. This never arrived and he stopped responding, despite still posting in the forums like nothing had happened.
20 bitcoins was all I had left for the month. I don't know why I trusted this person. He seemed sympathetic to my chronic pain condition and like I said, posted his buyer stats, which were perfect, so I basically was stupid and trusted him. If nothing else, I would like him to answer for his actions, and I hope other forum members will be made aware of his presence, because he is still posting trying to sell bitcoins for amazon.com gift certificates, and I'm 100% sure he has no intention of mailing those bitcoins either.
I am posting a link to the forum interaction, and can provide private messages from the beginning of the exchange to the end. Thank you for any help you can give me on this. I contacted a forum moderator and was told that even though yeah, I was stupid, I should still out the person in the forums and provide proof. I hope no one else gets taken on this. For me, I would like to get my bitcoins back. They were sent directly to marketplace buyer Amiss. I will provide the link he gave to me to verify his buyer stats and that he was "Legit."
Product request forum:
http://dkn255hz262ypmii.onion/index.php?topic=25208.0
(The member's name on the forum is/was ZYPUR)
Buyer stats, as provided to me by ZYPUR:
http://xfq5l5p4g3eyrct7.onion/upload/9c604b2858bbc83847ba2dfb107d6f63.png
(This is what he said was a screenshot of his buyer stats, providing he was legit)
When I contacted Amiss in the marketplace, it was Zypur from the forums, and we set up the purchase from there. I can provide PM's if requested, including the message where he confirms I sent 20 bitcoins directly to his account, as well as the last message where he says he's going to provide DCN... and that's when he disappeared.
I'm really sorry about this and know that it was not advised by support and it's a mess, but this person will probably do this again and I would at least like to see them answer for it, even if I don't get my bitcoins back. This is a great community and people like that don't belong in it. I also plan to never again purchase from anyone outside of the marketplace. I know that doesn't belong here either. If there is any dispute about this, I invite forum member Zypur to provide the DCN he told me he has, showing that the package was mailed on the 5th as he says. He no longer responds to any of my messages since he received the bitcoins.
Thanks and sorry about this. I was foolish

hey thanks for your interest, im really not sure if i want to set up a vendor account though, I've mailed fentanyl many times before but the whole putting that service out in the open and stuff im not sure if i want to take that risk yet haha, how much were you looking to pay per patch? I think the only kinds of patches I can get are the 100mcg/hr, but I might be able to get the 75mcg/hr as well (no promises on that)

Alright cool, since you're only interested in the 100mcg ones I could 80% sure get them in a day or two, at the very most 3 ish days. I was just talking to my friend about them a while ago but the I think he went somewhere for the weekend and isn't back yet. I'll text him though and find out, uhh not really, I've mostly just been a buyer, but I've been a buyer for a long time and would gladly send you a screen shot of my buyer stats, then you could pm me on SR on the same name as my screen shot to prove its me and ill reply back.
Yeah, I'm located in the US, west coast though, but I've had normal envelopes come from florida to me in a day, and small bubble mailers in a couple days so I doubt it'd take long, since I wouldn't need a big package or anything to ship them in.

End of messages received in this exchange.
From there, I went to his buyer stats, saw that his marketplace name is Amiss, and contacted him on marketplace to verify he was the same person. I will post his final message/time stating the DCN number would be sent soon. It never was, and admin can verify this.
Would like to also warn people that this person has a post up offering "instant bitcoins" in product offers:
http://dkn255hz262ypmii.onion/index.php?topic=25728.msg275738#msg275738
Hope no one fell for that one. I was dumb enough to pay $25 through amazon gift codes, as he requested, and the email he asked me to send the money to was:
xixxySR@ymail.com

Shit dude I'm sorry to hear that.
Their account seems to have been deleted too.

Pretty devious plan, post boobies so we let our guard down and then pull off a scam. I wonder if that pair even really belonged to her

Haha, you seem pretty worried about that. ;)
@OP: Never go OOE, never believe a screenshot, and I doubt you'll get your product. :-[

i posted in the feature requests section about my fake money (50's, 20's) and why i think it should be allowed and this guy wouldn't stop messaging me trying to set up a transaction to buy some from me. i went with my better judgement and decided i wouldn't ever do business off sr and out of escrow. sorry you had to learn this lesson this way op, that sucks

I noticed that Zypur guy posting quite a bit lately, Ironically he was defending mryellow after people were claiming he was a scammer.
I guess there isn't really much to say since you already realize the mistake you made. This reads like a step by step guide to getting ripped off, just another example of the shady characters you can run into on here. Aside from a few long time established vendors, I avoid FE like the plague.
-
The only conclusions to be made here are
Zypur is a scammer
Escrow is there for a reason
Learn from your mistakes
Move on
That's pretty much it.
