Hello,

I am very sorry, to come back from vacation of 3 months, to find my account hacked, and a lot of people lost money. I also lost maybe 700 BTC. I don't know yet how they hacked my account, my password was very very good, maybe via password reset of SR. I will look into that.

When somebody has a idea who is behind this, send me message.

I will never use this account for selling on SR again. You are warned, NEVER buy from planta EVER EVER again.

Planta

Wondering what happens now. Sugar Punch is still the best stuff here on silk in the western EU.

I got exactly the same email, only thing is.... what if this guy is still hacked into plantas account and sets up a new account with the money that he scammed from everyone and then sends a message/posts a topic on the boards from plantas account saying "hey guys i was hacked, but here is my new account buy from me here |----|" and then just scams a whole bunch more people again, im sorry but even though i know if this is legit and planta really was hacked and fucked over he is going to have to do something to prove he is genuinely back before i even consider making another order from him, i am very annoyed as he is the only guy to ever scam me and it was because i had previous purchases with him and blindly put my faith in him again. I hope this is legit and he is back as his bud was incredible for the price, but i am wary and so should everyone else be.

First we must admit, that his account really got hacked.

1. Planta never asked for finalizing early, even though he wouldn't give refund.
2. Planta speaks proper, well written english. The scammer couldn't even write "Sugar Punch" correct, he named it "suger pnch". Obv this scammer was in a hurry to get as much money before the bubble explodes - I don't know if silk or the scammer itself went into stealth mode.

3. If planta didn't got scammed and made this on his own, he should open a new account and sell weed with no name (i.e. no sugar punch or shackazilla so people can relate), establishing another base and then scam again. Basicallly this could happen over and over again, with ANY seller, so I don't think this is a real issue. For a new seller you always have some guys who need to do the first orders so others can see if it's legit.

4. How is he going to "prove" that he's the real planta? Maybe sending out 3g of free weed to anyone who got ditched? Don't forget, that if it's true, planta lost 3500$ too, so it's not like he's in good shape to give out freebies.



I suggest he would make another account, higher the prizes a bit, give out refunds this time and give special offers to users who got scammed as well.

 Keep in mind, that not planta scammed you, it was an asshole who can't even write proper english. If planta wanted money so badly, he could easily sell his weed at 15-20$ per g (its worth it in comparison to other sellers who charge the same for weed that's definitely not better) instead of ruining his whole reputation he build in months.


The thing is pretty easy, Planta HAS to give out refunds this time if he wants buyers to come back. Out of 5 packages into all directions in my country, planta packages have arrived, the only downside for giving out refunds is the possibility to be scammed, but that's what the buyer details are for.
