This is a re-post of a topic that was active for the past few months, but since it was in the Newbie forum I decided that it can help many people if it were on the Rumor Mill. Freeway himself commented on the post as well, but instead of understanding the problem, went throwing blame on others.

This is a heads up about the vender 'Freeway' who has several different listings for #4 H.

I and a large handful of others were scammed out of our orders when the DDoS was going on, and still wasn't resolved when the site came back up. I would not trust this guy, he lied through his teeth the very few times he communicated.

When this shenanigans started, he had about 15 listings, and one was for a '1 gram of raw #4! DPR Respect Sale' The price was like $140. He had many 'great' feedback, that after the fact I realized was false purchases by himself or friends.

Every other feedback said "shipping time was a little rough, but he doubled my order!" and very similar to that. So in hope of the 'extra' I kept my money with him in escrow for 4 weeks, still processing...

On the 3rd week he started saying 'tomorrow yours is going out, i know you ordered express'. Then the next day "tomorrow man I was backed up" And then I never herd from him again.

Please read over the thread given at the bottom of this post for a more in depth view of what happened. And I hope this can save some future victims from falling into the same money trap we did.

I don't want this incident to get swept under the rug like it never happened.

Hey, its one thing to be upset with a vendor, its another to call him a scammer. i have only great experience with him and it seems like most of the issues with Freeway stem from the downtime from the website and BTC prices. He cant control that and while his reponses were uncalled for, so is this topic calling him a scammer.

freeway is 5 out of 5. communication, shipping, stealth, product, and even post transaction, is still helpful.

I am a buyer like you, so I am not biased. I would like to know...

1. what happened to your money in the end? did he keep it and not cancel or did he cancel and refund?

2. how much did you buy/lose?

3. how do you know his feedback were shills? I received my product from him and even got free cut that I asked for.

4. can you find even 2 other people who had similar experiences to yours? like i said, its one thing to being an upset buyer, its another to call dude a scammer. i hate that, being an ebay user.

Hey, I will answer your questions right now:

1. what happened to your money in the end? did he keep it and not cancel or did he cancel and refund?

I canceled after being lead on by freeway. I was getting a little impatient after the first 3 weeks, and he just kept responding to me saying that "all orders will be out tonite the latest quantity will be increased due to long shipping time", "I wasn't able to get to yours, tomarrow the latest" , "Tomarrow man promise". I finally threw in the towel after it has been processing for 4 weeks and he stopped communicating completely.

2. how much did you buy/lose?

50 USD due to bitcoin price dropping in the 4 weeks he held my coin

3. how do you know his feedback were shills? I received my product from him and even got free cut that I asked for.

During the time of the incident, There were several other people in my predicament who placed orders even before me, payed express, and still haven't even passed the processing process. There is a post that We had going during that time. Its funny how all these people have yet to get past processing from orders placed so long before that day, and he is still receiving feedback several times DAILY from 'customers' that say the same thing, "Shipping was slower then I would have hoped, but he made up for it by doubling, or tripling my purchase!" We had a nice amount of users that were in this predicament, but its funny that not any of us were the ones who actually got product to give feedback.

4. can you find even 2 other people who had similar experiences to yours? like i said, its one thing to being an upset buyer, its another to call dude a scammer. i hate that, being an ebay user.
