Title: Do not use organicmeds215 (MP to BTC, or anything else)
Post by: ihaveaquestion on July 31, 2012, 11:59 pm
Gave this guy earlier this morning 6AM a $500 MP (highest MP I've ever purchased), since BTCMaster and bosshog weren't online.

He told me he had the bitcoins in hand and ready to go, and wanted me to get the transaction done before he goes to sleep because he was tired. I did the transaction within 2 minutes of him saying that.

It's now almost 12 hours later and I still have no BTC, and the $500 MP has been cashed out.

He said earlier (before I ordered) that MP had frozen his account due to fraud or something, but before I ordered, he said that had all been taken care of.

Here is our message transcripts:

Hey,

Is your MP situation resolved?

And if yes, if I give you a $400MP, you will give me $400 worth of BTC, yes? No fees at all?

And how fast can you get that done, because I need it within 2 hours.

Thanks.

______

HIM: All fixed if you still need any MPs exchanged. Thanks

______

I have a $500 MP right now in front of me. Can you do it right now? If yes, what turnaround time. And there is no fees correct? I just receive $500 in BTC at the current exchange rate?

Thanks.

______

HIM: Yes. Let me know soon because I am going to bed soon. I have coins in hand and ready to go. THanks

______

ok just placed the order, mp code in the address box.

______

just read on your product page to put your bitcoin address in the address box.

didn't think that mattered anymore since you can send via username now.

here it is anyway:

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

______

are you going to do the transfer before you go to sleep? cuz i have to go to sleep too and i need the BTC before then if possible.

please get the order done today, i have other orders to fill that need BTC. i just read in one of your reviews that you made a guy wait 4 days before you sent his BTC to him. If i had read that first I most likely wouldn't have done an order with you.

______

cmon man u just disapear after u said u had the coins in hand and ready to go? what the hell man. i needed those BTCs ASAP.

______

HIM: Sorry man...something weird just happened...it won't let me do anything on my greendot account online so I think it is locked again...can you wait a few hours untill I figure it out? WHAT THE FUCK...SOME PRICK KEEPS CALLING GREENDOT AND GETTING MY SHIT LOCKED. I am working on getting your coins asap. Give me an hour or so, I'm not going to bed...thanks

______

dude its been 7 hrs and the funds are gone off the card what the hell man.

______

how about you just go buy me a $500 MP card and give me the code. I'm not waiting 7 days for you to fix this.

______

dude is there anyway you can fix this today. like go buy me a new $500 greendot moneypak. I have custom orders waiting for the BTC and the sellers are just going to cancel them/send the product to someone else if I don't pay them today.

This is the highest MP I've ever bought and I feel like I've just been scammed.

At least say something.

________________________________________

And that's that. No response since. Said he had BTC in hand and ready to go, gave him a $500 MP (highest MP I've ever purchased), and he steals it from me. Never doing another BTC transaction again without BTCMaster or bosshogg.

I've had a similar problem.

I'm pretty bummed...

I placed an order a few weeks ago to test the waters.  Got a message saying it was "in transit" within a day or so.  Then, zero communications for two weeks.  Just as I'm about to either have to auto-finalize or resolve, he messages back saying "sorry for the slow and agonizing wait", and then it comes in 2-3 days later.

So I decide to try again, but ask ahead of time to make sure it will go out more quickly.  Place a LARGE order this time ($500+).  He assures me it will ship the next day.

My order was originally supposed to ship Wednesday the 25th and arrive the next Thursday.  No arrival, no comms until Sunday.  He explained someone had messed him up on Greendot and he had to put his SR life "on hold", but promised my order would ship Monday the 30th and arrive today, Tuesday the 31st.  It didn't arrive, and I've sent several messages, none of which have been answered.  Going to request a refund now.

I really don't understand it...  It would be one thing if he just explained that it would be some date in the near future when it would ship, and if he would communicate clearly...  But instead it's just promise after promise that my $500+ order will ship, and it doesn't.  Why?  Why, why, why?  I don't get it.  The first time I ordered, he promised it was going out within 48 hours, and it didn't ship for two weeks.  I gave him a positive review anyway just because I figured he got busy and wanted to be generous.  I trusted him this time when he said shipping wouldn't be delayed like that again, but now I'm sick, all my money is tied up, and the whole situation just sucks.

I don't think he's a scammer, but he *really* needs to get his stuff together, and perhaps go into stealth mode.  And needs to ship all orders on time, exactly when promised.

Bumping this til my $500 MP that he stole is taken care of. He told me he had the BTC in hand. Don't want anyone else to be scammed.

It's funny, we both have $500 held hostage by him...  yours for BTC, mine for product.  And no communication for days.

When he took 2-3 weeks to ship my first order, and did not communicate for two weeks, he got me to write a good review by promising to add a free extra 30% to my next order, by including the code "EXTRA30".  I bought it hook, line, and sinker, and wrote a good review.  Now it's my next order and I have -130% of what I should.  My point is, I guess the reason there are any good reviews on there is because he tells people to finalize early and also "pays" them to write positive reviews.

Update again:

He's been online and still hasn't read 3 of the PMs I sent him almost 2 days ago.

What a joker this guy is, he should have his SR vendor account removed.

Don't learn the hard way like I did, go to BTCMaster for all your MP to BTC needs.

dood sorry to hear that shit happened to you, what is BTCMaster's vendor page link?

BTCMaster vendor page:

http://silkroadvb5piz3r.onion/index.php/silkroad/user/7bdda04d8b

Just choose the Bank Deposit to BTC product, then put your MP code/region in the address box.

Guys report the scamming vendor to SR Admin.
I bet they aren't paying SR fees either.
That will get them put on hold, game over.

Moneypak is the latest scam.
I think we will see a way of these until we find a way to stop them.
My vote forget moneypaks, use Bitinstanst.
Their a few honest vendors for moneypaks in a sea of scammers.

Same thing here.  Placed a $500+ order over a week ago... he promised it would go out next day...  then messaged several days later saying he was messed up over the Greendot stuff and it would go out first thing Monday and arrive Tuesday. 

It's Wednesday and still has not been shipped.

I've messaged him 4-5 times, and all of them display as "unread", yet as you said, he has been active on the site as recently as today, so he is deliberately ignoring messages.  I'm now convinced that this guy is beyond disorganized...  Scammer?  I don't know...  But definitely dysfunctional...  A shitload of people aren't getting their orders. 

Yet, he forces people to finalize early, and offers "bonuses" for future orders (which he doesn't fill) in exchange for positive reviews, even when the order doesn't go right (he promised me an extra 30% on my next order, which never shipped).  Thus, I believe the vast majority of his positive reviews are based on bribes and forced early finalizations :/

If he does not respond, and I have to use the resolve button, will this show up on my record and hurt my reputation with other vendors?  If so, that is terribly unfair.  I'm just glad I didn't finalize early, at least.

Good question.
All you people message SR support.
Search for user "SR support"
I'll bet any money his scamming, and not paying SR fees. ;)
Give them the vendor's name, the scam, and the money ripped.
After they get a few of these, they will pick up on it.
Why did this last so long?

I shut my last vendor down in 24 hours.

For the few good dealers, I'd say these scammers will ruin the moneypak trade.
Maybe we need a good Moneypak to BTC list?

This shit has to stop.

So "Finalize" order finally popped up after a certain # of days. I finalized so that I could leave him feedback to warn others. I left this feedback:

"DO NOT BUY FROM THIS SELLER. SAID HE HAD BITCOINS IN HAND AND READY TO GO, SENT HIM A $500 MP FOR BTC CONVERSION. THEN HE DISAPEARED AND THE WHOLE MONEYPAK HAS BEEN SPENT.

FULL INFO HERE:

Then he cancelled the order, This guy is a fucking scumbag.

I sent a detailed report (including links to all the forums posts with you guys' stories).  They cancelled my order and I got a refund.  Hopefully all of you can find some recourse from this idiotic scammer.

You buy drugs, chances are somebody will figure a way to rip you off.
Hopefully all you loose is money.
It's why we need to protect each other from these creeps.

Yeah, I lost 200$ just now in an MP. I love how he comes on and says the coins are on the way. Probably just to buy a little more time. 200$ coulda been a good time, but it is true, hopefully that's all that happens from this game.  I'm guessing if everyone sent in the scam messages to SR then they must have shut his account down, if he didnt shut it down himself. Sigh.

Another good reason to NEVER FINALIZE EARLY...  Once that's done, there's no getting your money back, ya know?  It's gone.  I'll never do business with another vendor who says all this "finalize early" crap.
