Just because you got a refund doesn't mean you weren't part of the scam

Seen an interesting scam. Vendor claims users FE based on death in family with promise of refund/reship. User X and User Y both pay the vendor. $100 and 250$. The vendor refunds the 100$ after 5 days of no show while claiming reship to the $250. He has used part of the $250 to payback to 100$. Scammer has $150 profit and waits for a listing order of 500$ to be FE by the next victim. Uses 250$ of the $500 to pay back the original victim.

Now he has $250 profit and can either run off or continue with bigger listings to pay back smaller orders while still making money out of originally $0 invested.

You're pretty good with quick maths.

Reminds me of a Ponzi scheme, all falls apart if you don’t find a bigger fish

Even with a large vendor bond to sign up, that investment still allows the scammer to build the scam up and still receive the vendor bond back if the market does that when a vendor quits.

That's why it's important to be detailed in reviews you leave on markets. We need to know if you got a refund and thats why you are leaving 5 stars. Don't protect the vendor because you are scared of them.

Tbh, should be 1 star if scammed. Then, 3 star if refunded.

I love vendors, I appreciate their job and know we are lucky as FUCK to have this system. However, it'd be great if they could stop trying to fuck us over for no reason too. I'll pay fucking $80 a gram, if I can get actual 93% pure D-Methamphetamine. However, if I pay $30 to $60 a gram for Methamphetamine and it's 33% to 90% N-ISO or MSM... really just WHY does it have to be this way?

Don't sell your shit cheap. If customers can't afford it, fuck em. Sell pure, good products. Be proud of what you sell, customers will like it more, and it's healthier for all of them. This "cutting" scheme ruins everything, and the scamming you mention above is even worse.

 

People give the cartel shit, and they do seem big on this "respect" thing as a culture. THAT'S GOOD THOUGH, passion is what makes us feel alive and enjoy life. The problem isn't the respect they desire and care about, it's that they have sacrified their values and morals for profit, losing sight of that badass they wanted to be at some point. If you wouldn't be proud to give me your product in person, and feel confident that I'm going to love that shit... then you can't be that man that you've always wanted to be.

That said, lately cartel shit has been decent again. I love TJP... I'll heistantly say his gear lately is better than ICE-CUBE's was even. I'm kind of shocked. He's fast, kind, and the price matches the quality previously. Now? Well, shit... I'm going back to him personally :D

The cartel doesn't have to be synonymous with "cut product" or "shady". They are hard working, passionate, loving, and dangerous individuals... but if you respect them as they do you, all usually goes great. Nothing feels as good as knowing your plug cares about what he does, and knows what level of respect he deserves. But, the only way that whole system works if he delivers the goods he is supposed to.

I can imagine it's frustrating for them to see a lot of the customers who try to scam more than the vendors you mentioned, and all the bullshit that people try to pull. Not to mention avoiding the police, and dealing with all of the other real world problems that is involved in this game. Just be straight with the real customers, and just straight up don't do business with the others. If they are stressful or toxic to your business, their money is not worth that cost amigo.

 

I wrote this on another post... I DO NOT UNDERSTAND why customers are supposed to just take shit, in the eyes of most people currently. I'm a real customer, and I hope that all of the rest of you are too.

It'd be great if the vendors stood up and took pride in their products, and made shit right again too.

I don't hate you, always down to try you again. I'm literally just on a quest to find some pure Methamphetamine, for once. I ain't in this game for nothing, except to find that pure Methamphetamine and share her glory. It's about time we stepped up the Meth game, the last 6 months have been depressing in terms of quality.

Let's change that. I have a consistent flow of income, and my money will be going to the most reliable source of the highest quality Methamphetamine avaliable. There's no funny business from my end, if you turned your shit around and came back with the cleanest ice that we've ever seen... best bet I'd be first in line to pad your wallet for that shit.

Let’s not forget the dead relative sympathy and how they use an urgent family matter to get people somehow. Had that happen to me with a cash app scam IRL
