Title: TheHoodScientist is back under a new name
Post by: anon911 on March 15, 2012, 02:42 am
Not very subtle. He has the same listings up from before he ditched his other account.

Pathetic. Thanks for the headsup Anon. Exactly the same listings as before. Hope this guy gets a bloodclot or a heart attack.

Part of me wanted to not even post this thread because I feel that he just fucked up on his last account because he hadn't done it before. But I DID get what I ordered even if it was underweight and took 15 days. I sent him a PM to see if he will admit to being TheHoodScientist so I can buy off him again. His prices are unbeatable and the quality was beyond there. I just wanted to make sure everyone knew in case he's going to try to make a run for it again.

I didn't get my product, or a refund, even after he sent his little apologetic message. He's a selective scammer. He'll send out the little weight in order to seem legitimate, and when someone purchases something of significant value, he'll take it and run. Don't take the gamble with this vendor.

was just about to post this!

yeah it wasnt too subtle, pretty obvious in fact. unfortunately a lot of people are going to have to learn this the hard way :/

Damn, he's prices are great but I don't trust him, I almost bought from him before he screwed everyone over. I'm going to watch and wait.

I got a  PM from him and I don't feel like waiting for his approval to post it here because he could be banned by then. I think I'm going to give him another whirl.


"Hello TheHoodScientist. I want to believe your story for the delay because the product was superb so I may order from you again. You ditched before I got to try your sample. Care to give me hope that my order won't take 2 weeks to get here?"


"Well I really feel badly for how disorganized things got. I've recovered pretty well and unfortunately while I was trying to catch up, the SR staff reset my password and locked me out. I'd really appreciate a second chance and also some discretion because paranoia, as I'm sure you know, spreads like wildfire here and reputation is basically all I have. So let me know what you'd like to order and I will hook it up to make up for it. Thank you I really appreciate your empathy. :]"

LOL


wow he actually responded to you calling him thehoodscientist?


fail.


although people do make mistakes. if he is trying to turn a new leaf that is good, but it doesnt make up for him ignoring the tons of messages he got from worried customers, and filling out orders the he couldnt ship at the same time. he still owes 14 dollars that asshole lol

i hope everyone the orders from this guy gets 100% what the pay for and that he treats them right.
Title: Re: TheHoodScientist is back under a new name
Post by: anon911 on March 15, 2012, 10:55 pm
I placed an order for a gram of MXE and a gram of DXM. Hopefully he comes through.  8)
Title: Re: TheHoodScientist is back under a new name
Post by: anon911 on March 20, 2012, 05:24 pm
6 days later and nothing.  Marked as shipped a few minutes after I purchased. Here we go again..
Title: Re: TheHoodScientist is back under a new name
Post by: bigblack on March 20, 2012, 06:42 pm
he got a lot of people to finalize early again too. poor souls.

honestly he probably already made enough to start another account. so this might become a reoccuring trend.


whats the deal with all the scumbag vendors lately?
Title: Re: TheHoodScientist is back under a new name

Should we give this guy another chance or what?   I will, but no FE
Title: Re: TheHoodScientist is back under a new name

Just wait for me to receive something first.
Title: Re: TheHoodScientist is back under a new name
Post by: tcobambientAgain on March 20, 2012, 08:33 pm
In my gut, I knew it was him.  Something clicked inside of me and I just knew it. 
Title: Re: TheHoodScientist is back under a new name
Post by: tcobambientAgain on March 20, 2012, 08:38 pm
I was the first guy to place an order with TheHoodScientist (never again will I be placing first orders with new vendors).  For those of you who don't know about THS, he lied about shipping.  Said he shipped and then I got my order like 2 1/2 weeks later with a postage mark of 2 days previous to when I received it.  He NEVER responded to my messages and the product was underweight. 

Use this new vendor name at your own risk.  Not sure if he's a scammer or just a fuck up but either way I have ZERO time or patience for bullshit.  There are so many great vendors that there's no need to risk it. 
Title: Re: TheHoodScientist is back under a new name
Post by: anon911 on March 21, 2012, 05:13 pm
7 days in transit no item or communication. No feedback on his page that says anyone received anything either.  What an asshole.
Title: Re: TheHoodScientist is back under a new name
Post by: vicodin on March 22, 2012, 05:08 am
i bought some MXE when he was The HoodScientist. it took me 12 days to receive my MXE. i didnt measure it, but it wasnt even sealed properly. just folded in some paper, then vacuum sealed. so i was left with as mess to deal with while opening as the powder had leaked out everywhere into the sealer.   the product was decent, but i havent had the stuff before, so i have nothing to compare it to.
Title: Re: TheHoodScientist is back under a new name
Post by: anon911 on March 22, 2012, 08:26 am
The quality of his MXE is fine. I've had many sources and I would say it's 7/10. It's also <$10 cheaper.

Title: Re: TheHoodScientist is back under a new name
Post by: anon911 on March 22, 2012, 03:55 pm
8 days and still nothing. This guy needs to be banned again to stop more people from buying his false ads. 4 more days until I can get my money back.  He reads my PMs and doesn't reply to them when I ask where my orders are.
Title: Re: TheHoodScientist is back under a new name
Post by: anon911 on March 23, 2012, 06:41 pm
9 days and NOTHING. No response to PMs. How long are you going to let this shithead scam people? Look at his page 'finalizing early'. All that money is GONE and even more people are getting scammed. YOU KNOW THIS IS TheHoodScientist AND YOU BANNED HIM SO WHY ARE YOU LETTING HIM COME BACK AND FUCK MORE PEOPLE OVER?
Title: Re: TheHoodScientist is back under a new name
Post by: anon911 on March 24, 2012, 08:06 pm
10 days later and still nothing. He is reading my PMs and ignoring them. More people are steadily getting scammed. No intervention by Support.
Title: Re: TheHoodScientist is back under a new name
Post by: asdfqwerty7654 on March 24, 2012, 08:47 pm
I think you are going to have to put this one in resolution and hope for the best.  THS strikes again.
Title: Re: TheHoodScientist is back under a new name
Post by: anon911 on March 25, 2012, 03:25 pm
Still nothing. More people getting ripped off. No intervention.

5 of 5   I've been asked to finalize early, which I think is BS, but whatever.   1 hour
Title: Re: TheHoodScientist is back under a new name
Post by: anon911 on March 25, 2012, 03:30 pm
I tried to buy a listing to finalize on and warn the other buyers but I forgot that he has to mark it as shipped first so I just wasted another 60 cents.
Title: Re: TheHoodScientist is back under a new name
Post by: anon911 on March 26, 2012, 04:36 pm
This fucking guy, man. He overnights my order to me right after I started a resolution. That's bullshit.
Title: Re: TheHoodScientist is back under a new name
Post by: asdfqwerty7654 on March 26, 2012, 04:41 pm
^ Was the cost to overnight it to you more than the cost of the order? 
Title: Re: TheHoodScientist is back under a new name
Post by: anon911 on March 26, 2012, 04:56 pm
It doesn't say. It does say he's like 2 hours from me though if the return address is correct.
Title: Re: TheHoodScientist is back under a new name
Post by: ParasiteEve on March 28, 2012, 05:06 am
 :-\ It has been 13 days since I ordered. He said he shipped 2 days late because of his "University Work"
I am new to SR, and I decided to take my first gut feeling with this new seller. And im pretty sure I just got fucked over.
Moniker replied once over the 13 days.
Weak.
Title: Re: TheHoodScientist is back under a new name
Post by: dr34dl0ck on March 29, 2012, 12:54 am
I didnt know about his prior account and gambled with a whole gram of 2c-p. Burnt. That was 13 days ago.
Title: Re: TheHoodScientist is back under a new name
Post by: ParasiteEve on March 29, 2012, 05:02 am
Yup. I got burnt bad too man. No response yet either. I guess I have learned to check the forums for fools like this. And I will no longer be taking gut feelings on new sellers.
Always have to learn the hard way.
Title: Re: TheHoodScientist is back under a new name
Post by: harpua25 on March 29, 2012, 05:11 am
What you should've learned is DON'T FINALIZE EARLY.
Title: Re: TheHoodScientist is back under a new name
Post by: ParasiteEve on March 29, 2012, 05:25 am
I had to with his policy and me being a new member with few transactions. Once again ill state, I have to learn the hard way.
Title: Re: TheHoodScientist is back under a new name
Post by: Hyuck on March 29, 2012, 07:38 pm
Mxe has been 4 days in processing. Sent a message 2 days ago and he hasn't replied, even though he was last seen today. This alone isn't enough to say he's a bad seller, but combined with the other feedback, I'm seriously considering canceling my order. This is my first order on SR, too.
Title: Re: TheHoodScientist is back under a new name
Post by: dr34dl0ck on March 29, 2012, 10:12 pm
I would cancel your order, but thats just me. My my first buy was awesome. Infact, all my buys except this one have been great.
Title: Re: TheHoodScientist is back under a new name
Post by: Hyuck on March 30, 2012, 01:16 am
He just replied to me and sent my order. To emphasize: I didn't mean to imply he was a scammer, I was just nervous considering the other things that have been said. I was a bit worried the processing time was abnormal, but I didn't really have a problem with it as long as he intended to send it within a week or so.

I'm going to finalize early because I'd only lose about 7 bucks if he was scamming me, and I need to build up transactions.
Title: Re: TheHoodScientist is back under a new name
Post by: msween27 on March 30, 2012, 01:21 am
Not saying he's a scammer, but why not come on the forums and defend himself, am I missing something?  I won't be ordering from this vender, Moniker or THS, has I think they are one in the same.

Luckily I placed an order with THS a few weeks ago, canceled after 4 days and got my refund.
Title: Re: TheHoodScientist is back under a new name
Post by: anon911 on March 30, 2012, 02:36 am
Oh don't get me wrong. This guy is a piece of shit and is sketchy, but he did come through for me. after 14 days or so. If I were you I would cancel your order and never deal with him again. His MXE is really nice, but not worth waiting 14 days for to save $5.
Title: Re: TheHoodScientist is back under a new name
Post by: dr34dl0ck on March 30, 2012, 04:28 pm
Moniker also wrote me back apologizing with an excuse yadda yadda.. I told him I'd grade him fairly if I truly end up receiving his product. I don't want to get ripped off 75 dollars. I'm never buying off of him again though. Two plus weeks for domestic shipping? Yeah right.
Title: Re: TheHoodScientist is back under a new name
Post by: Arrov123 on April 03, 2012, 01:51 pm
Ordered a gram of DXM and 100mg MXE from this guy. Both arrived in about 5 days if I remember correctly. The DXM made me break out in hives, totally ruined my trip, but I've heard of people getting hives from gelcaps, so it was either just an unlucky reaction or he fucked up the extraction. I'm leaning towards the former out of good faith. The MXE was good. I ordered 500mg today for $12; will post here if it turns out to be a scam.
Title: Re: TheHoodScientist is back under a new name
Post by: ParasiteEve on April 05, 2012, 06:37 pm
Got my shit. 16 days after ordering domestic. Got my excuses. Trying the 2c-I tonight.

Regardless, I will never go through this cat again.
Peace
Title: Re: TheHoodScientist is back under a new name
Post by: CeeLeeWabbit on April 05, 2012, 11:44 pm
I ordered 2g MXE and finalized early before reading this thread because I am fairly new to SR and do not have many transactions.

I received my MXE today after about 10 or so days.

Maybe there's hope for this Moniker fellow after all.  He certainly isn't gonna win business man of the year, but at least he seems to be sending some of the orders.

People.... DON'T FE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I ordered some stuff from this bloke on 30/3, its 11/4 and still nothing. :(

Although, it seems that this is par for the course with this guy. Still keeping my fingers crossed it will come through.
