Title: Microbabe MDMA Review -- NOT MDMA
Post by: Science H. Logic on August 22, 2013, 02:35 am
I received 1g "mdma" from microbabe and immediately tested it with the dancesafe reagents I received today.

It is not mdxx. Not even close.

Marquis: yellow
Mecke: yellow -> dark orange brown
Mandelin: yellow/yellow orange
Simon: pale blue

My best guess is methylone maybe mixed with something else. There is definitely no trace of mdma though. I think I am going to flush this crap. Anyone else receive from microbabe?

bumping this for more to see, sad that her grams are one of the highest sellers on SR right now. Maybe a bait and switch in the works?

I second that.

Just got my "new customer" 1g MDMA package in and immediately tested it. I got the exact same results. Definitely not mdma, or even mdxx. The results seem to point mostly to Methylone, as it turned bright yellow immediately upon reaction with a Marquis test. The results for the Mecke and Mandelin followed your's as well.

I have no use for this product what so ever. This looks like a quick scam for new buyers. The whole get in - get out quick scamming is seriously hurting the SR. It makes everyone more vulnerable and rips people off.


Should I ask for a refund or take this resolution? How are you going to handle being ripped off like this?

That's why you don't buy from noob vendors. Let some other idiot be the sheep.

I would get a post into their ratings asap so other sheep don't make the same mistake.

I totally agree. I went out on a limb to try and help a new vendor, not something I've been known to do. I don't want to finalize and lose my $50 for a bag of Methylone, but I want to get my results seen so others don't get scammed too.

These scammers are making it impossible for new vendors to enter the market, because like you said, it's in my best interest to not give them a chance. That sucks and looks to me like it could become extremely problematic for the SR in the future.

Yeah that sounds like an M1 reaction to me. This is such a shame when I hear about stuff like this.

I love my people to much to lie to them. I am straight up about stuff like this IRL.

I am assuming you already gave the vendor an inquiry? What was their response?

I messaged Microbabe about 3 hours ago. No response yet. Seems like the more I look around, the more people are posting in agreement about the product. Not finding much of anything positive about this vendor in the forums. Just a bunch of 5/5's on his page which raises a lot of questions.

How would you recommend dealing with this situation, ColdFrost? I would hate to finalize, lose my money for a bunk/misrepresented product, and allow the scam to work. It is still a day early to go to resolution, and I've never had this problem before in nearly 20 transactions. Like I said before though, I went out on a limb to give a new vendor a shot, and I got burned. This won't happen again, and I plan making sure that Microbabe does this to as few people as possible in the future.

I reported Microbabe to the SR admins for shipping Methylone as MDMA. From Microbabe's recent appearance onto the SR and (somehow) high ratings, I believe Microbabe has one of more of the following:
a) customers without reagents and/or experience who will believe taking M1 to be equal to an MDMA experience
b) customers who finalize before testing the product and do not revise feedback after testing
c) accounts leaving fake feedback
or d)Selective scamming (some orders get Methylone and some get MDMA) is very likely.

Any advice on handling this situation would be greatly appreciated. I plan on dumping the powder after hearing back from Microbabe, and I hope the obviousness and fairness of a full refund is just as apparent to him/her/them as it is to me. Just deliver the product you advertise, and quit scamming people. That's all I'm asking.

I am inclined to believe it may be a combination of c and d. I did not say in advance I would test the product and had low buyer stats (actually just created a new account since BG compromised the old one). Microbabe must have thought I was just another dumb kid flocking to SR because of the hype and I wouldn't know the difference. I messaged microbabe when my test showed bunk, and I received a full refund (although the vendor demanded I leave 5/5). I say put it in the resolution center and try to get your refund. You are owed it.

Hey magenta, you should absolutely take it to resolutions, ask for a 100% refund & tell the staff that he's shipping fake product. Take pictures of the test/packages in case they ask for evidence. I wish SR would start banning scammers, but they profit off of them =[

Give the vendor time to respond.

Don't let the order auto finalize. If you got time give them at least 24-48 hours. Don't throw away product just yet.

If vendor doesn't respond move forward with resolution. The more you can bring to the table would work in you favor if you need to go here.

I remember PF one time sent I want to say sugar or something not thinking of testing product before sending. That was such a mess.

I greatly appreciate the advice and sharing of experiences. It's what makes this place work, and I am grateful for such vigilant consumers like yourselves. I messaged Microbabe before I began posting my questions and concerns to the forum. I have 6 days left until auto finalize kicks in. So, I've got time. At this point, 8 hours later, I still have not received a response. I have the entire package. I also have pictures of the test results. I normally take pictures of my results in order to back up POSITIVE reviews if the vendor is ever called into question. This is only the second time I have been lied to by a vendor. The other being overseasmeds.

I am going to give the vendor time to respond. I believe that is fair. In the forums and my pm, I explained that I am able to prove that this vendor took my money for MDMA and gave me bk-MDMA (M1, Mehtylone). I assume the vendor thought that I would not chemically test the product (with at least a Marquis reagent, something everyone using our marketplace ought to have for their own safe/quality control) and believed they would be able to sell a far cheaper analogue of the actual product listed to increase profits.

I have already reported this vendor the SR admins. I will be taking this to resolution as soon as possible. Not only am I entitled to a full refund (as I did not receive the product I was promised), but I believe that the admins ought to take a closer look at this vendor. I think they'll probably find many cases like this. With the influx of new vendors and the depletion of supply by older vendors due to new customers, the SR is starting to worry me a little. I've seen way too many ads from obvious scammers, and older customers are, justifiably, scared to try new vendors. It messes up the entire idea of this marketplace. Too many people are using get-rich-quick, in-and-out scams to take our money and deliver bunk product. If there really is no honor among thieves, does that have to mean there can be none among businessmen/businesswomen looking to provide what they promise?

Again, thanks for your suggestions. I hope this is all cleared up soon. I also hope that potential buyers will see this and think twice before placing their orders. As I stated before, all I ask from vendors is to receive the product you promise at the cost to which I agree.

I don't believe that is too much.
