Title: Scammed By ProfessorTwak!.. What Now
Post by: checkdis on September 03, 2012, 12:15 pm
Hey Guys just on here to sorta judge what (if anything) I can do now...
I paid for a custom order from Professor twak for an oz of meth and 2 lots of shipping express (wanted it split up)
I finalised early because he got me the first order quickly and no problems... so this time i did it too.
he took ages processing it but i understood it was a big order..... he posted it and gave me a USPS DCN so i was a bit concerned
already the gut feeling took hold.... he then said there was an issue and hede go pick it up and repost it.... the package was never recieved by USPS in the first place!!!
he said hede post me something express that day....... but nothing he just bullshitted for a while
he told me hede refund me my BTC and i agreed but alas nothing now he wont reply to messages or anything... i have the whole message log if anyone can help
including the transaction number but cus i FE'd is this all fucked!! its near on 3 grand!!
please help peoples

Wow, getting burned for an OZ of Tina is a low blow.


From the short time I have been here, it seems like a lot of the meth dealers here are straight at first..  Then the BS starts.

I would never buy an OZ of meth from anyone here.  Way too big of a risk,  especially if I had to FE.  The ball is in his court now.

I will say that the run-around is a sure sign of shadiness.  I'd also say you just lost near 3000$

That is exactly what happened to me except I didn't Finalize Early. Took 2 weeks but got my money back.
I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but once you FE an order, you have NO RECOURSE AT ALL, other than ProfT refunding you your coins. The Finalize button is Final and cannot be reversed. SR Admin can't help you because since you FE, in their eyes the transaction was successful and both parties were happy with everything. Your not able to use the Resolution Centre because the order has been finalized and as such, is complete. Thje RC can only be used before you finalize the order, where the buyer opens up a dispute for either a time extension or a full or partial refund.
Like I tell everyone, never,never FE for any vendor or for any reason. If the deal seems a little too good to be true, it probably is. Getting you to buy something big and sending it through successfully  is a known method of encouraging you into making another big buy, cause the first went so well, having you FE cause the first one made it, then finally realizing that ProfT now has the shards and the coins. What a cunt.  :(

How long ago was this?

I've been dealing with Twak for close to six months and haven't had any experience like this. I know that he runs into problems sometimes, and  his shipping times suck quite often - but he's always delivered for me. He did have some issues that caused him to stop shipping recently, and although I've been not only a customer but as much of a friend as you can have on SR to him he hasn't responded to my messages either.

Since you FE'd the only thing you can do is stay patient - and I know that's hard especially over the amount of money you're talking about but it's all you can do. Don't get overly shitty with him, because if it is a legit problem he's having he'll be (anyone would be) less likely to make it right.

I feel like I know Twak - at least the SR Twak - and I don't think he's going to take you for all your money. I hope any of this helps, as I know that it would be hard to be consoled in your shoes - if I was you and I was reading this message I don't know if it would help. But I'm trying to show you that as a VERY experienced buyer with him he almost always makes it right in the end when there's been a fuckup.

Hopefully you have some money left to buy some more drugs and chill while you wait.

BEST of luck man,
ECO

18 days ago... i finalised on it and he was supposed to ship the first half because it was apparently already wrapped ready

after much bullshit he included as part in one message
. i'm going to get the package tomorrow delivered and i can remail, by courier tomorrow night.
2. i don't get the package in the morning (by 1pm here) then i am going to refund your money.
that was 7 days ago

and i checked in and said i needed it back..... and he replied
hey no problem checkdis. i cashed out all the coin to pay back a loan on here today, but orders are still coming in. i'll pop you over a refund asap. because you have put your trust in me

that was 5 days ago...

and after a daily message or so... having been read daily also by him still no replys.... nothing so far

The only way you're possibly going to see a dime is if fellow SRers put pressure on him to do right, so good call coming to the forum.   That said, good luck.  You're gonna need it.

checkdis - I think he'll make it right man. As I said in my post earlier, not only have I dealt with him ALOT but I have talked with him personally many times and he's never out to do anyone wrong.

Perhaps he bit off more than he could chew with this loan agreement between him and awakened/electro. He's probably trying to balance getting them paid back, you paid back, and still having money to get product to keep the train rolling. '

I know it sucks, and it's not right what has happened with your situation, AT ALL. It's just an unfortunate risk we take - assuming that a vendor has their operation running smoothly enough that we trust a FE request.

Best of luck to you, but I believe that you will see your money or product. I've heard of AUS taking a month or more from PT before, so hang in there man. I don't think you're being scammed, but I COMPLETELY understand if you believe you are. I would too. Just for now, try and keep a little faith in the back of your mind.

And whoever you are, if you're going to create a fucking throwaway account to come on here with such a bold accusation about someone who for the most part has been a very solid vendor -

Show some evidence
Don't do this under an account that doesn't hold your real account name under any liability.

DO NEVER FINALIZE EARLY ORDERS WITH PROFESSORTWAK !!!

I ordered 1G meth end of June, just before leaving on vacation. In order not to injure PT I finalized the order early. The order was marked shipped immediately. On my return, nothing in the mailbox. After having contacted PT, he told me he had problems with some sending, then he assured me send the command quickly.

Since it responds to my email once or twice a month and I still have not received anything.

I made more than 44 orders for about 500 btc. I finalised early the greater part of the order (except with some new vendors).

I happened to have some problems, always solved in a good mood with all sellers.

Professortwak is not an honest seller. He kept my BTC. He did not refunded. He sent me nothing. He did not read my last mail (23 days old).

PT is probably the last person with whom you may want to do business.
