Title: What's your worst experience been on SR?
Post by: BUD-dy on September 16, 2013, 10:23 pm
I've been using SR for some time now and haven't had much complaints, and when I have, sellers have usually dealt with them reasonably. Luckily I haven't interacted with any blatant scammers yet.

Anyways recently thought I'd try out a new (to me) seller's goods and they turned out to be totally unpleasant (fake, not even adulterated, just totally fake) and not as advertised. Trying to get a refund but we'll see what happens.

Although I was scammed out of $150 (planetexpress) my worst experience was after I didn't receive my order. I let him know I didn't receive and for days and days he didn't respond. I sent another message. He said he would get around refunding me. Another 2 weeks went by and nothing so I said fuck it and I gave him 1/5 feedback and said exactly what happened. That got his attention. He looked up MY INFORMATION on google and found information from 'mylife' about my family and said if I didn't change it he would have no option but to take "further action". Not knowing what he knew and what he didn't and not knowing what he was capable of I complied. It wasn't worth risking my or especially my family's safety for a couple hundred dollars.

In the end, oddly enough, he sent me a long apology and my money back. Took like a month and a half but better late than never...

Wow......glad it had a happy ending. Use cryptography in future. Also try sending it to someone else rather than yourself.

I fail to see how cryptography would have prevented this from happening

True, I dont think crypto would have made a diff idk... I do know that being ripped off is the worst.. I lost $400 in a deal with a so called vendor that turned out to be a scammer/le. worst risk i ever took and lost it all SR deleted him almost instantly after but its not like i was gonna be able to get anything back. Now that SUCKED!!

What is it about Vendors with "express" in their name?

I've just been scammed by "drugsexpress", a Dutch Vendor. I guess that's what I get for not ordering with TheHeineken.

I think it is scary that after two weeks he still had your name and address. He should have deleted it right after shipping out the goods.

Back to the topic: I, as well as other, got FE scammed by format13 about a year ago. He offered some weed at a good price and had an otherwise good history. However, he insisted on FE and then no shipment came. Later he stated on his page that he got a lot of shipments and had to work through them. Then he just went quiet. Guess I had to learn the hard way about FE. Was only 70$, though.

The same happened with germanexpress (I think) a year and a half ago. He behaved for a while, sold hash and financial services, and then he probably got some large orders and never delivered.

DaRuthLess1 sending me a privnote threatning to put my address on "every forum worldwide" if I didn't finalise, i didn't and got my money back  ;) , fuckin moron. He did go on to post 24 (I think) addresses on every forum here  :o not mine tho, not sure if the addresses were real or not but what a cunt!!

Edit: If you get a privnote report it to SR support and let them open it, doesn't matter if the privnote links in your msg's if they can't read it your fucked, I was just told several times I should have let them open it!  ::)
