Title: Scamed :/
Post by: eye on November 03, 2012, 09:20 pm
Pretty sure I got scammed out of 120 USD, But I'm not going to post any names or anything until I am confident. Have you guys ever been scammed on silkroad? Is it a frequent problem?

Unfortunately, there is some scams going on on silk road. You can start by entering your vendors name in the search bar of the forum to see if he has a history of scamming. You can take it from there but if you do find out he scammed you let us knew what happened.

your lucky it was only 120 usd. i got partially scammed by skyy back when he was still around and selling. i payed for 50 grams of mdma, and had to finalize early. he was however a trusted seller back then, and i received 30 grams. i never did get the rest of what i was owed, but i was very happy to a tleast have gotten something.

First there is a scam section of the rumor mill and this should of been posted there.
Second if you have to ask about scamming here you should read more before spending money
Third you could post the details of the transaction so far without using the Vendor name and let the community decide if it is time to out the vendor, if you are in this spot then the Vendors name should be come public so others dont get sucked in.
If you uncertain I would not post the Vendors name yet just your situation
If you Finalized early suck it up as people will tell you you put yourself in the situation by not being careful
hope this works out for you and it is a false alarm

I was tradeing moneypak for bitcoins, Which now that I think about it, is a horrible idea.

Don't FE or do moneypak transactions and you'll never be scammed on here.

Always research a vendor before you buy from him and always keep up to date on the latest feedback for vendors you repeatedly buy from (incase they end up going bad).
