Title: Doublemint Offical Vendor Thread
Post by: FreeLife1 on January 29, 2012, 09:47 pm
This guy came through huge for me... MONEY PAK TO BITCOIN... The bitcoin market is rough right now but not with doublemint.... I talked to him in the forums after all the boss MP to BTC vendors where in a drought.... This guy is stacked. I trusted him the whole way through after i supplied him with my MP. I strongly suggest this man if you need a good price on Bitcoins..

He sometimes has products up I think but have not tried any of them but will in the future after his professionalism and prompt service!!!

Five stars to DOUBLEMINT!!!

Thanks man

Seems I've just been scammed by this guy. Sent him my MP# through pm 1 1/2 hours ago. Just checked, balance is empty and of course no BTC in my account.

^ more likely, you don't understand how it works and you're talking shit about a vendor before he even has a chance.  Vendors don't sit at their computers all day waiting to jump on a transaction the minute you request something.  1 1/2 hours, please, you're obviously not familiar with the speed of things around here.

when he gives you your coin you better delete this shit talk..did you talk to him prior? how much was your MP? and did you even check if he was online?
Title: Re: Doublemint Offical Vendor Thread
Post by: rbx6jm on January 31, 2012, 12:46 am
of course I spoke with him prior and he was online at the time. if I'm in the wrong I apologize but the "20 minutes" talk combined with doublemint now being offline and 0 balance on my MP raised a red flag.

He's a scammer, still no Bitcoins received to my account after several hours

I didn't even know he was a vendor, but he has been online in the last 15minutes according to the forum stats so I am sure he saw this thread and everyone's PMs.
Title: Re: Doublemint Offical Vendor Thread
Post by: rbx6jm on January 31, 2012, 01:37 am
yes, I'm sure he has. this is a reminder why no one should do business outside of official sr.
Title: Re: Doublemint Offical Vendor Thread
Post by: rbx6jm on January 31, 2012, 01:36 pm
This is now an official scam. Doublemint has jumped ship and I doubt we'll ever see him again on the forums. $400 vanished.

NEVER TRUST ANYONE ON THE FORUM. ONLY GO THROUGH SR.

Attitudes like blueangel and FreeLife1 are the reason trusting people like me get robbed of their money. Let this be a lesson to all.
Title: Re: Doublemint Offical Vendor Thread
Post by: blueangel on January 31, 2012, 01:45 pm
Yes, our attitudes, not your lack of research, is the reason you might have gotten scammed.

Still not sure how you confirm this as a scam.  How do you know he isn't unable to access the main site?
Why is staying in escrow so difficult?
Title: Re: Doublemint Offical Vendor Thread
Post by: rbx6jm on January 31, 2012, 01:53 pm
my research consisted of FreeLife1's multiple "glowing" reviews. This was not done through Silk Road it was done through forum pm. There has been no response to further messages when he was clearly online.

Escrow was not an option as doublemint does not have a vendor page.
Title: Re: Doublemint Offical Vendor Thread
Post by: rbx6jm on February 01, 2012, 02:55 am
sorry, but I still have not received any coins from you.
Title: Re: Doublemint Offical Vendor Thread
Post by: nexus68 on February 01, 2012, 03:12 am
So any update on this? This situation seems a little fishy, especially now since someone is accusing freelife1 of scamming someones moneypac. Also more strange freelife1 seems to have disappeared after all these glowing reviews of doublemint.

I'll reserve my judgement for now but it seems to me there is a freelife1/doublemint team scam going on (or one person with two handles).

Doublemint, perhaps you can take a screenshot of your account page to prove that you sent rbx6jm his coins...cause this isn't looking good for you.

When i got my coin from frelife he would go offline then doublemint would come on trying to get me to do a big ass money pak deal at a super big discounted rate...
My conclusion Doublemint is frelife..I was going to do as deal deal with him too until he jumped bail and stole.
Title: Re: Doublemint Offical Vendor Thread
Post by: societyagrees on February 01, 2012, 03:35 pm
I got a message from DoubleMint offering me domestic Ketamine for $55/gram. I asked him for a link to his seller account, which he does not have. This set my scam alarm off. Buyer beware.
Title: Re: Doublemint Offical Vendor Thread
Post by: rbx6jm on February 01, 2012, 03:42 pm
I'm also beginning to think Doublemint and freelife are the same person, or at least in it together.

doublemint is a fucking retard, he also owes badboy some money too due to his loan pool.  I can't believe you guys fell for this.  Stop throwing your money at people.  Are you all American?
Title: Re: Doublemint Offical Vendor Thread
Post by: DigitalDong on February 01, 2012, 04:25 pm
i wouldn't trust him.. i was reading that he took a loan from bad boy in the forums and didnt pay it back but kept telling BB that he did over and over.. then he said bb was a nice guy and that he will repay his loan.. and a few mails later he says that he repayed it again....
Leave Doublemint alone.. IMO hes unstable , dishonest and untrustworthy ... just my 2 cents..
lemme guess holly is a prick from the EU?  even so i will agree with the prick and say that double is a d00sh as well for trying to start shit with me in the forums ...

Haha I'm sorry if I offended anyone  :(  It's just that when I think of terms such as 'instant gratification', and 'needless money wasting', I think of an American.  Didn't really mean anything by it other than that.  ;)

Alright looks like I can safely make a judgement on doublemint being a scammer. The guy has rubbed me the wrong way and I called him out a few times on various things, so this does not surprise me at all.

One thing that stuck out for me was that doublemint had over 300 posts, yet has been registered a month less then me...yet I only have 100 posts. Goes to show post count means nothing and that you should not use it has a measure of trust on these forums.

Sorry to everyone that was scammed, but I hope others can learn a lesson from this situation.

Wow good job I spotted this thread! I put in a request for anyone selling bubba kush and he pm'd me about it offering it at $45 an 8th! Think I'll be avoiding that now, thanks for the heads up people!

P.s Can anyone recommend a good, trustworthy marijuana vendor that will do a deal on this such as mrouid, someone that is reputable? I only ask because I cannot access the silkroad main page, probably due to traffic!

Thanks again

So basically, you've learned nothing from all this?  Not trying to be a dick, but maybe we should all just stick to conducting business through SR.

If you are directing that at me then I would only buy from a very reputable vendor and would accept that this is a bit more risky than the official site! If I could get on to SR I would be doing it through that, not everyone is out to rip off buyers!

This problem is so easy to solve!

1. Dont ever do any business outside of the market
2. Always stay within escrow!

Is it really that hard? I know it can be tempting to fall for some of these scams. I have seen very reputable vendors turn into scammers...

I feel for those that have been scammed, it sucks big time. Learn from your mistakes, warn others when you can.

DOUBLEMINT is a scammer without a doubt. A few days ago I posted a thread looking for some heroin stamp baggies from the NE us. He msgd me and said he could do it. I said I could send him $20 to get things started. Then he wanted me to add the coins to his SR acct and also claimed he could do MP. Then I find out he had no seller acct and bells started going off. So I WAS going to do business through SR. He gave me a link to this thread (prob just when the first post was up) and that's when I saw what you guys had written. So I wrote him and said he'd have to send me product first because of all the sketchy tings being said. No reply at all. You may have only saved me $20 but big thanks to all of you! Now we just need to identify who he comes back as! lol I'm funding my coins through a slow but more reliable method now. I think MP gives away too much info (the store where you bought it and even video images of you) so I'm sticking to the slow but safe method. Thanks guys!!!

You are absolutely correct. The trick is being sweethearted or rushed into someone from the forums who SEEMS reputable, because he wastes time making posts and adding to his cred.

We need a thumps up/down system here. stat. please

No no nonono please no. That's a bad idea. A system like that is very exploitable, and unlike a simple post count, might give the impression of being some official sanctioning of highly upvoted posters' credibility. We don't want people lulled into a false sense of security by features like this, it'll make the scammers' job that much easier.

Here's what doublemint wrote me back when I PM'd him and called him a scammer, and a lame one at that, because he only tried to take me for $20.

"Whatever. I make $500,000+ a year, I don't care what you think. Purely from scamming. I usually make 1.5-2k per day. What the fuck do you know about that mr minimum wage target? I take money from the needy. The ones who can barely survive, who have to resort to selling. They put there money together for so long, all of there hope based on me. And I rip them to shreds. It makes me hard. Goodbye." -doublemint

First off, he's utterly full of shit. 500K??? lol what a joke. Secondly, this is more than he ever wrote me when he was trying to scam me, so he spends more time on his ego than on his scams. What a fucktard.

Have to laugh, this guy tried it on with me too. PM'd me on the forums here and said yeah i know the price of tar is mad huh, i can sell you a gram for $70. So i said yeah get the pics up etc and show me your vendor page...no reply, he's obviously looking for hungry fish. Sadly, i think there are far too many on here already....when things get commercial or go legit they always go sour. Shame but that's life, same when you travel ..you meet people who can tell you about great places off the beaten track, sometimes by the time you get there they are ruined by loads of assholes turning up and then in turn loads of local assholes ripping people off etc etc.
Do you think for 1minute the guys listening to the cool stories from a traveler in a party thought nah man i won't go because im some dumb a-wipe that only "thinks" he is cool?? of course not they thought hey man yeah lets go there i'm cool too. </rant>
