Title: DO NOT PURCHASE FROM THIS "VENDOR"!
Post by: gbcgal on December 09, 2012, 07:04 pm
 >:( I am a newbie to SR and, POW, first transaction, and I was ripped off!! Do not purchase from DR FEELGOOD, INC. I ordered 35 hydrcodone from him and he took my money and did not send the product. It has been over a month and I have given him plenty of time. So now, I want to see him BANNED from this marketplace before anyone else becomes a victim!!! If any one could help me, please let me know. I did not use BC's (my bad) and I sent the money Western Union, but, I was in a lot of pain and desperate....Desperation leads to bad decision making!
Thanks for letting me vent!

You avoided the built in securities that SR provides buyers through its commerce platform. You also didn't pay them commission on the sale and did probably the #1 thing you could to make sure someone ripped you off (WU money+avoided SR)... might as well just mailed some guy cash (probably wouldn't be dumb enough to tell you where he lived though)
Don't wanna say you deserved it, but you were sure asking for it.
Not that it's a reason to rip you off, but you made it as simple as possible, with absolutely no recourse and no record.
Better luck next time.

this community is here to HELP each other..
not HURT each other..
and the two replies above mine.. should have never been posted.
those are hateful things.. that should not be said to another member.
we all make mistakes and i am sure you two have "dodged" escrow and so on and so forth.

if you don't have anything to say that can help them..
don't say it? they're seeking advice.. not dick-head criticism.
you guys are seriously fucked up and need to re-evaluate your lives.

@OP.. always use BTC... please. always.
and always use the Escrow system so things like this DO NOT HAPPEN.
i understand WD's.. and they will make you make some dumb decisions.
we cannot be judged for these decisions because in the end..
we're only human and we all make mistakes.

next time.. come in the forums..
search for a Vendor.. look for a Review Thread..
research research research! then more research!
shit like this happens too easily to people using Mpaks, WU, and MG..
none of them should really be used ever. always use BitCoins! ALWAYS!
:) have a good day and ignore the two posters before myself..
i am sure they didn't mean to come off as incompetent fuck tards.

I second thumbs.  Use escrow because it is a HUGE protection for buyers and vendors will almost always work with you if something bad happens.  Hopefully transaction numero dos will be better and ALWAYS use the forums for review's on a vendor because the feedback on the vendor's page can be faked very easily.

Wasn't meaning to sound harsh, but I thought i laid it out quite clearly what his mistakes were so he wouldn't repeat them...

Agree with what thumbsup said 100%

Sending cash that way stops SR from protecting your money, you know now at least so don't sweat it. As long as you learn from this you will be fine :)

Hope the pain isn't too bad on your part though. Sucks to be scammed like that but sucks more when the purchase was to relieve pain.

If I sold the product you bought I would send you some but sadly I'm more of a Cannabis guy lol.
