Hey
I am buying 5g of MDMA from virtualzombi and all was going well, I sent the bitcoin to escrow and he marks as shipped the next day. Two days later he sends me a message saying I need to FE before he actually ships... I don't want to FE, so I ask why he marked it shipped and he admits he hasn't shipped yet and won't do until I FE.
I notice that he has put "FE required" on his profile but I am 100% sure that was not there before (Or I wouldn't have ordered with him). I read the Andromeda policy and it says he is not allowed to request FE until he has 10 feedback.
He does have 10, but all of them are for free agora referral links he was selling. I also noticed that he only posted all his drug listings AFTER he had 10 feedback. So I think that maybe he is a scammer and waited until he had 10 feedback before putting his drug listings up for FE so he would agree with the FE policy.
Unfortunately I was not paying attention, because he marked shipped so early it auto finalized. I messaged the support and they said they stopped his withdrawals and moved my coins back into escrow.
I ask him to refund bitcoin to me, or send my order, but he tells me again that Andromeda says I must sent him the bitcoins to a bitcoin address that he owns, not the escrow, and says that he will ship it to me if I contact his email and sent him the BTC outside the market.
I don't know what to do now but I am really concerned about sending him BTC outside the escrow. He is "verified" from other markets which he says means that andromeda will refund him 100% of the BTC. He is threatening to tell Andromeda that I am scamming him and I will not get the order unless I FE. He has my address so I am worried because he might do something to me unless I FE.
Please advise and I am sorry if this makes me pathetic but this could ruin my life if he reports me to LE, drug use is not tolerated at all where I live, even small amounts leads to prison sentence, I am accepting that I may have lost $240 at this stage.
Hi OP,
Andromeda vendor here. I have sent a message to the admin making them aware of this post. The Andromeda staff are very committed to keeping their market scammer free so I dont think this vendor will be around for much longer.
Do not send your bitcoin to this seller outside of escrow. Sit tight, let Andromeda investigate this and I am confident you will get your BTC back.
Good luck, StealthInc
