I hope it works out for you. I am not using any SR vendor to get bitcoin. It's to easy to get fucked and money is to dam hard to come by for me. I don't care how long I have to wait to get my coin. At least I'll get it at market price using getbitcoin.com or bitinstant

if you do the cash deosit into a bank account then it dont take a day to get your coin from bitinstant or getbitcoin.com. You have to deposit the amount into their bank account and then send them a picture of the reciept or scan it then send it and they email you right back. It's not illegal to buy bitcoin and they dont have to know what site your using it with. You can also get a free wallet and have it sent there first

Yeah, I saw the Vadu vendor page earlier.  It (he/she /they?) sounds like a complete douchebag.  Red flag city all over the place.  I mean, what kind of special fucking moron names there listings for cocaine as "Where my coke boys at."  It reminds me of TeamCrucible (scammers), they had a similar tone, could be the same guys.

Even if Vadu is legit, I would never buy from somebody that comes across as so fucking idiotic as Vadu does.  Don't deal with obvious morons, they are trouble.

Somebody else on here said he was a member formally known as roscoechicken or some shit.

Yea maybe it should be mandatory for people to have to visit the forums and get schooled before being allowed to make a buy

I appreciate that Vadu is red flagged.  But what do you mean "he is still scamming?"

Did your BTC transaction ever go through?  Do you mean he scammed you? 

Did you report it to SR management through SR?

so i contacted them and they havent done anything all tho they said thanks for the heads up twice. now vado has twice as many MP listings as he did before and is offering no fee's and 5 dollars per bitcoin as the exchange rate. the guy isnt fulfilling anything, 4 ppl have been scammed. please be safe

I see the apparent scammer Vadu's listings are still up.  Always a good idea to check the forums before you buy from anybody, even if you're a repeat buyer, just to make sure everything is still going good with that vendor. 

I feel sorry for anybody who falls for his "where my coke boy's at" listings  ::)

I'd like to see SR charging 20 bucks a pop for buyer accounts, that would cut down on the fake buy/good review scams.
