I think that having a good horror story thread is vastly more useful than it might at first sound. There aren't any statistics on this but, based on what me and my friends have experienced, almost every consumer of illicit substances has been ripped off at least once. It's a right of passage in many ways, you get knocked back, but you come back stronger and better than ever. That's why Silk Road in particular appeals to me. The only time you get mugged off on here is if you don't use the site correctly (checking feedback, forum posts etc) or you got phished.
Anyhow, I'm just being long winded. STORY TIME CHILDREN!
At the tender age of 14, I had an acquaintance a couple years older than me who had just began experimenting with cannabis, pre-ban mephedrone, ketamine and MDMA. I was obviously very keenly interested in what this guy had to offer, whenever I'd had any such drugs in the past it was alcohol or very shitty weed. I began giving him money to buy weed and ketamine for me, in return he could pinch a bit off the top of whatever was in the bag. For some reason, he started taking a particular dislike to me, and I stopped buying from him and talking to him.
A couple months later, he started speaking to me again, about how he had found this new dealer from a few miles away who could get "anything". I trusted him, that was my mistake. I asked for the dealer's number and was given a mobile number. I have a good long conversation with this guy about what things he could get ahold of, prices and rates. We eventually agree that a few days later, I would buy the most I'd ever spent on drugs.
We arranged to meet at a half way point by train. I arrived at the meeting point, and got a text from the dealer saying that he didn't have time to get off his train as he had to be elsewhere by a certain time, and I would meet him at the door of the train and he'd pass me the goods and be on his way. Alarm bells were ringing but I didn't listen, because I couldn't imagine that my mate would set me up. The train pulled in and standing at the door was a scruffy looking 20-something. He yelled my name and I shuffled over to him, passing him the cash. He pushed a weighty plastic bag at me and skulked off back into the train. I quickly left the platform to somewhere I could check out the package.
It's contents were
-A weighty rock (supposed to be soap-bar hash - just realised now it's sat on the window sill opposite my desk)
-6 fruit pastilles (think he just put that in there to piss me off)
-A bag of crushed up paracetamol (meant to be ketamine)
-A jelly bean in a baggy (ecstasy pill apparently)
I didn't quite realise how solidly I'd been screwed over until I was nearly all the way home. Just that sickening feeling in your stomach. But that wasn't the worst. My begrudging older mate began to brag about how he'd set me up and then spent all my money on drugs to his mates. Word spread, all I felt was shit, I wasn't even angry enough to face up to him and settle our differences. From then onwards I've become so good at gauging whether a deal is genuine or not, and I've saved a fair few people from getting screwed since then as a result.
Damn, feels good to get that shit off my chest. Post some of your horror stories of being scammed while I roll myself a doobie.
(P.S. Anyone who says you've never been scammed: Fuck you! :P)

I just got scammed for the first time the other day. Unfortunately it was pure stupidity on my part. In my rush to order things for 420 I failed to do research and made the rookie mistake of not hitting the forums first. Xq
I finalized early for a new vendor after letting my greed get the best of me when he offered free product. It was EJDriect and while he only got me for 40 bucks It's still a piss off that I was so dumb.
Moral of the story is never FE unless you already Havre a good relationship with vendor and make the personal choice to, and even then it should've avoided.

Very true, trust is important, but it takes time to establish properly.

i've been ripped off multiple times buying opiates. It's like you almost expect to get fucked over, either by weight or by the product itself. too many heartbreaks if your are an opiophile, i am 2 years clean now of opiates/opioids

codeine is the shit

I saw an episode of a British fly on the wall police show on TV a while a go. They apprehended a shop-lifter, searched him and found what he said was heroin.
When they later ran tests on him they found out that his "heroin" was a bit of dog biscuit in a wrap. Poor sucker, judge ordered him into drug rehab anyway. :-\

FE'd with Binxster a while back. First & hopefully the last time getting scammed. As everyone always says: If it's too good to be true, it probably is.
