He has closed up shop, owing me a qp. Don't finalize early with him.
-
:( I'm a nooblet, first post...Just wanted to say that's not cool. This is my first post and I'm lining up to start buying. I contacted him 2 days ago because I was going to venture out with him because he accepted MoneyPak (first clue I suppose) and he had what I wanted at a good price and he was in the U.S. he replied back within minutes and I was set to go soon. I hope you get what you are owed. I had hoped that this would be an e.z. slam dunk but now I am more leery. Now I'm sketchy to buy BTC's with a M.P. :-\ Lot's of luck to ya.
-
I'm pretty sure he's gone now, the bad feedback is starting to pile up.
-
"I'm Closed for good. Sorry. -SRDP"
Yep, he hosed a bunch of people. Just today I seen respected members giving him praise for his service, then just like that, bam, he morphs himself into a dickhead.
-
Maybe it was "the nature of the beast" especially if he got high off his own supply... Sad. Speaking on experience; I learned not to try dealing your favorite drug. I hope he realizes his priorities and makes amends.
-
That's like drug dealing 101.
-
This one was my fault, I wouldn't and shouldn't have used a MP for a seller I wasn't familiar with except I needed that adderall asap and just figured it would be straight because of his stellar feedback. Out of two orders I made, SRDPs was for more figuring he's trustworthy, nope.
Makes you wonder if/when other reputable sellers will randomly abscond with their customers coin.
But it is what it is, SR is an amazing resource to have at my finger tips, the benefits still far out weigh the loss in my opinion.
-
He got me too goddamnit.
-
Sad that even respected buyers can just close up shop, and get a little extra bonus at the end too ://

His purple kush can be very compared to LTTM's purple goat. AAA+ Exotics. I never had a prob with him within escrow, but it did seen suspicious to offer moneypaks too. Don't finalize early, stay within escrow, and only use btc.
-
Another reason why sellers requiring early finalization is complete horseshit and should be banned.
It puts too much risk upon a buyer. It's happened so many times.
-
Phew, dodged that one.
Had an order within escrow that never arrived.
I thought things were fishy - he marked "shipped" moments after I ordered.
...Taking moneypak, string of early fin's - looked like bad news.
He gave a prompt refund within escrow though.
Sorry to all those who were jipped.
TAKE THE ESCROW PLEDGE!

Yeah, I'm near as upset about losing the connection for the purple kush as I am about getting ripped off.
-
I got ripped off too and desperately wanted some purple..I'm new here and don't know much about escrow but after that hard hit definitely willing to learn about other options....THIS REALLY SUCKS!!!
-
Really hoping my 3.5g meth order has actually been shipped still, purchased exactly a week ago and had to finalise early coz from australia and it says it shipped on the 9th so hopefully this was before he turned scammer?
I paid for mine on the 8th, said shipped on the ninth, no pms' for a couple of days now.
-
My order was almost a week earlier.
I think you guys are hosed :(
-
God damnit. First time i get scammed is cause i just HAAAAAAAAD to save some money by going the moneypak route.
You know what really bothers me? I messaged him 3 weeks ago asking if he took moneypak, before it was in his profile.
FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUCK. Checked the forums, checked waited until good reviews came in.. fuuuuuuck.
-
phew..... i ordered some adderall and did not finalize early although he asked me to twice via pm..
im sorry for those who actually got scammed.
is there any chance that our security is compromised too?
-
Mine was around the same time.. Bought on the 8th.
I can't afford to be scammed :'( living off this now since I was laid off.
You got fucked. End of story.
How much did you lose? /:
-
Yep, I gave him an MP number for 400 USD and he is closed up shop... so guess what... I am leaving SR for good. I cant take being scammed anymore. Especially by a reputable member. Adios community!

I'm sorry getting scammed is brutal. However, the reason you provided is why you should abandon other sites and come to SR. SR has escrow, which would have protected you with this vendor. With SR you don't have to pay with moneypak for your product (a bad idea for a vendor anyway if they are cashing it themselves) and instead you can use bitcoins and escrow. You probably would have had better luck cashing that moneypak with a reputable exchanger or going another route to get your bitcoins. On a side not it seems to take a lot longer to find out when a vendor is scamming than an exchanger, since with exchanger if their money is gone and they haven't received bitcoins, within a few hours they know they suspect they've been scammed and come to the boards. A vendor has the entire delivery time and then some if you consider delays and lost packages.

I learned the hard way from SR Discount Pharmacy ...Don't Finalize Early! He ripped me off bad before he disappeared .
-
The only thing I ever finalized early is if I pay for special shipping as a separate service. Even though I deal with really good sellers who don't need me to finalize early. And when you think about it, a really good seller doesn't need you to finalize early. They are financed enough to absorb the upfront costs.
As for moneypak, don't do it. Use get-bitcoin.com. They have under 24hr turn around if you deposit cash into their checking account (Chase or Bank Of America). All you have to do is go to a local branch, deposit the cash, and email them a scan of the receipt in PDF or JPEG format along with your order number. I've used them about 8 times now without a hitch. Average turn around time was 16-18hours to see bitcoins in my wallet.
There are other bitcoin services like Tradehill.
Go to bitcointalk.org forum to learn of the many ways to acquire bitcoins (BTC). And you can read reveiws of the different bitcoin exchangers.

I know this is old, but I'm bummed that it turned out this way. SRDP was great when I dealt with him as he took moneypak's directly and shipped quickly and his batches were pretty damn good. But he probably started getting high on his own supply... bummer.
Sorry to those who got burned.
-
Wow this bum took a lot of people for a ride some BIG ride.......Sorry to here this guys.
