Title: Real Life Scam!!
Post by: strange fruit on April 02, 2013, 08:52 pm
I found this wonderful place a few weeks ago,since then I've been doing a lot of reading and research,learning PGP,etc,leading to my first purchase which should be soon. I've spent a lot of time reading on how to avoid scamming on SR. However I went to score this evening from a regular contact of mine(for heroin) and when I got home and opened the bags I saw that I've been sold brick dust! >:(

Of course I can't get through to him on his mobile so it seems I've been tucked up good and proper. It was £60 which is just under 1BTC at the moment. It's just a reminder that buying drugs always has an element of risk, so even the chance to use SR and the escrow system offers protection that you can't always get in real life.

I think if you do your homework and use proven vendors,then the chances of being scammed can be minimal,but even if it does happen you have to remember that it goes with the territory,and it's not the end of the world. I certainly won't be prepared to FE!!

That's if I can find a reliable way to buy BTC in the fucking UK!!

Thanks, I get tired of people complaining about being scammed on an anonymous site.  The risk is in the name itself.  All you can do is know your shit and wish for a little luck!

Yep, sometimes it seems as though some common sense is lacking with some of the stories i've read,
