I have just about exclusively used vendors who will exchange bit coins for Money Packs or Reloadits cards. The reason I have done this and payed the fee associated with these transactions is because I have read several articles that talk about the most vulnerable point using SR is transferring coins in or transferring them out:

so I have a couple folks I use regularly but a few days ago I was in a bind and I came across BIG GAY AL's page.

and then moved to here:

Anyway, my main guy was not on line an I came across BIG GAY AL...He had great feedback but then he scammed me out of $315. I placed an order with BGA on 9/11/13 at approx. 9 PM est on 9/11/13. Prior to placing the order BGA was helpful and immediate in his response time.
I asked Al if he would accept an order lower than his $400 min. rule. He said no problem. I asked Al if I would receive the coins that evening. He said no problem. When I didn’t I contacted Al and he said “I have hit my limit for the day I will have it covered first thing in the morning”. I immediately called Reloadit and my card had been cashed. I still took Al at his word. Went to work (9/12/13) and at lunch checked SR and NO COINS. I contacted Al again and tell him I need the coins by 6pm. BIG GAY AL says he is having problems and "all his accounts have been put on hold". BIG GAY AL says he can cancel my transaction because he does not know when they will be up and running. I say ok as long as he can verify he had not cashed my card. He verifies by giving me his word. I was late getting home because of a death in the family. Get in that evening and my order has been cancelled and a note from him on how "annoying all this has been" to him but basically for me to go to someone else.
BIG GAY AL has kept his post up so I process another order hoping that this is all a misunderstanding and that BIG GAY AL fixes the problem or an attempt to do to others what he has done to me.
I am glad that this venue is here so experiences, true experiences can be shared. If BIG GAY AL gives me the $315 in coins I paid him for I will let you know. I will be providing updates here and on the forum
The pertinent facts are: BIG GAY AL cashed my card less than an hour after receiving it. Cancelled my order and provided me no coins. Do not let the feedback fool you as it did me. SR warns you upfront about these services.
He has scammed me. I have contacted Reloadit and it has been suggested by me to let SR know. However, SR, although allows this valuable service to be ran on their space there is really no way they can really monitor...but I am letting them know today and I am trying to let anyone who is doing a little home work on this guy know that he is a risk. d
The folks I have found to be the best at this are those who sell other tangible items on their vendor page,
BIG GAY AL took my money and cancelled my order so I could not leave feedback.

looks as if you are not the only one. Misery loves company... I pplaced order Friday morn. Had $400 on vanilla/netspend. Have not heard hide or hare from Big Gay . I just knew it was to good to be true. And here I thought I had done my homework and read up on dude. So disappointing. Is there no Honor among us SR user's??? I like to take drugs but stealing from people, not my thing,,,, to much bad Karma. What goes around , comes back around. You Mr Big Gay Al will get yours one way or the other. Just saying.
People BEWARE of this guy
