Title: CAUTION!! HUMBOLTGREENGARDEN BTC EXCHANGE SERVICES
Post by: Siloenvy14 on July 20, 2013, 05:40 pm
Hi Everyone,

Fairly new to the Road and was looking around for some BTC to get myself started. HumboltGreenGarden's (HGG) listings caught my eye for BTC since his rates were so low 3% for anything under $1000.00 and 0% for a $1000+. I know, I know... to good to be true right? Since everyone else is charging like double digit fees. However I did my due diligence before committing to this transaction and he had over a dozen positive transactions for BTC exchanges. So I thought I was in the clear...

On 7/15 I went out and got a $200+ MP and proceeded with the deal and sent it to him through SR pm.
- 24 hours passed by.... nothing. 
So I messaged him about the status... he said he'll have it in by the end of the day, Cool.
- 24 hours passed by.... still nothing.
At this point I'm like something's not right... messaged him again about the status. Responds with busy harvesting... I'm like okay... and he said he'll have it in by the end of that day for SURE.
- 24 hours passed by.... you guessed it! NOTHING!
What... the... fuck... man... Messaged him again; haven't heard a response in the past 48 hours. At this point I'm thinking I got scammed (DAMMIT!) and was thinking of my alternatives. I figured it'd be a shot to see if they Money Pak hasn't been cleared out yet (was expecting for it to be cleared out) but to my surprise all the money was there. So I was like Oh shit, let me clear it out before he gets a chance to run away with it. So I emptied the MP and cancelled the transaction.

At this point I don't know if I should Report him. He didn't technically scam me out of my money but he did lie about transferring the BTC 2 days in a row and has been MIA since... so yeaa thats my tale. Take it for what it is. After this transaction I feel very lucky that I didn't get scammed and learned a valuable lesson. COMPLETE TRUST is needed between vendor and buyer for a transaction to complete successfully. After this experience I most likely won't be going anywhere near HGG.

Take caution if you will.

TL;DR - Bought $200+ worth of BTC with MP @ 3% exchange fee on 7/15. Vendor lied two days in a row about transferring the BTC to my account. After 5 days decided to cancel the transaction. Surprised to find that he didn't empty the MP so I emptied it before he got a change to do so.

Sidenote: I read through his other thread where he had issues with selling pure MDMA to a buyer. Buyer ended up testing it and saying it wasn't pure MDMA and it was something less or knockoff (BK - MDMA maybe?... don't really know what that is). HGG requested for the product to be sent back for a refund... that didn't happen. Dispute case came back on HGG's side. Now he has re-listed MDMA and specifically add in the description that he's selling BK - MDMA instead of pure MDMA. Soooo that's kinda suspicious...

Once again tread carefully; take caution if you will.

HGG is no stranger to sketchy dealings. There's a really big thread in this same forum where he's accused of sending someone an ounce of bk-MDMA and claiming it was MDMA. I would watch the hell out with this guy.
