Title: 'subzone' Scamming - Read Before Ordering From Him!
Post by: MrMcFeelyMD on November 29, 2012, 11:53 pm
Two of my regular customers have recently alleged that they were scammed by subzone, who vends Suboxone and Subutex (meta-tagging for convenience of potential buyers).

One of them was scammed for a fairly substantial amount on an order that they paid for out of escrow. This one should be a no-brainer, but buyers (new and old) are still getting ripped off as a result of this every single day. Don't *ever* work out of escrow, and don't *ever* finalize early for *anyone*, no matter how much you trust them, no matter how many successful transactions you've had with them in the past, no matter how good their reputation is on the forums, no matter how high their feedback rating may be, etc.

The other was a guy just looking to buy some bitcoins with his $500 MoneyPak. It's very easy to get ripped off on one of these deals because the buyer has very little to no recourse in the event of scammery on the vendor's part. Do your research on the vendor first. It's *very* tempting to think that one could get the cash that they needed *and* keep their bitcoins at the mere cost of  a few points being deducted from their feedback score. However, it's *always* risky to buy shit with a MoneyPak... even if the vendor has a successful track record. If they have a feedback score of under (100), check their feedback comments for the one(s) that were rated negatively to find out why the buyer(s) gave their negative feedback. All it takes is for them to say "There was a $0 balance on your MoneyPak... it says that it has already been used... Did you typo in the code, or are you trying to scam me?" and odds are that most people will believe them because of their almost-100%-successful record.
