Check this out: I posted a topic about two weeks called am" i being scammed or not", well this is a follow up the follow up to that post. To make a long story long, i sent my very reputable domestic source about 900.00 almost one month ago. He claimed he never recieved the money even though the tracking said he did. I called the mailboxes etc where he recieves his "mail" and bitched that i had sent a package to this person and they never showed up in his box. He knew of the person i was talking about, as they had been looking all over for it the day earlier. The whole pointe of this novel is give your source the benefit of the doubt and dont be too quick too call him a scammer. I had many chances too and i didnt. I waited and am very glad i did. I would have made a horrible mistake. Peace     | ||

Thank God for nice sources like that. I had a simialr situation happen where packages were sent by someone we all know and only 25% of the order got to me. I wrote him and explained the situation and swore to him that I wasn't trying to rip him off and thankfully he agreed to resend. Glad to know there are still a few people in this world who know what it is like to lose alot of money and are generous enough to offer a helping hand. To all newbies, always give your source the benefit of the boubt until you are sure that something is not right. Even then, still give them the benefit of the doubt while you are questioning what happened. You go pointing fingers and cussing at them and it would be all too easy for them to "forget" that you even sent an order in the first place. You will only hurt yourself if you go making false accusations. [This message has been edited by Maverik (edited September 11, 2000).] | ||

This is all a bunch of bullshit, dont tell people what they should and shouldnt do when it comes to sources because there are way too many sources out there that are scammers. A source has one simple job to do: He either has the shit in stock or he doesnt. If he does, all he has to do is package the shit and send it out. There is no reason for this type of shit to happen to anybody. IF A SOURCE CANT DELIVER IN A PUNCTUAL MANNER THAN HE SHOULD FIND A NEW LINE OF WORK BECAUSE IT DOESN'T TAKE A FUCKING BRAIN SURGEON!!!! As for myself and others who have been scammed, we have a right to know where our hard earned money is!!!! | ||

Home wrecker. The above example states that shit does happen that is beyond the sources control. If vdevil would have cussed the guy out and made accusations, he might not have any gear right now. Same for me. I was nice to my source and they resent my packages. I don't understand where you are coming from and your advice is not very good to say the least. The bottom line is that you don't always know what happens to your money once you put it in the mailbox. You think it is going to the place you addressed it to but that isn't always the case. Mail gets lost, misplaced or stolen all the time. Mail is handled by people and people are known to be dishonest from time to time (Duh!). Being nice and courteous and giving your source the benefit of the doubt is pretty much your best bet if you want any gear at all. With an attitude like that you will probably get scammed again. Piss people off and they are more likely to keep your money and ignore you. What are you gonna do? Get pissed and fly to their country and beat them up. Courtesy is always your best bet, bro. Wise up man. [This message has been edited by Maverik (edited September 11, 2000).] | ||

Like mav said, the whole point of my post is that ANYTHING can and will happen. If your source is trustworthy, than give him the benefit of the doubt and wait it out. I would not send out nine hundy to anyone but him. | ||

Homewrecker, you're probably one of those people who always get shitty service when you eat out. Bottom line, people do not respond when they're bitched at! Period. | ||

No. I am almost positive that he really did not recieve the money, but i cant say for sure. If he really didnt, that makes him a helluva guy. | ||

Bump, what if he was an employee of M/E, and it was him who you spoke to? Sounds like a solid guy. ------------------ | ||

Hey check this out bro. That would be a hellacious scam though. He tells you he didnt get the money and sends the shit anyway, so you send another 900 bones. So he gets 1800$ and still upholds his reputation. Think about it! | ||

I know if I sent $900 and he said he didn't get it, I definitely wouldn't be sending any more. If he wouldn't resend I would be looking elsewhere. Sources with good reps usually don't scam people out of the blue. Just make sure he has a good rep and you should be fine. | ||

Hey Maverick, you flamed me in my post how suggesting anyone buys gear thru this board is a bad idea. But now it's ok because your doing the talking? Kinda fickle aren't you? | ||

Davidd this is Mav under a new name. One question. Can you please retype that sentence so it can be read? WTF are you trying to say? I really think that you have absolutely no clue what you are talking about. It must be fun to type sentences that make absolutely no sense. | ||

What does fickle mean? | ||

And BTW Davidd, I don't buy any gear from individuals from this board which is what your whole post was talking about. The reason I flamed you was because you were implying that there are drug deals going on this board and that is both untrue and a stupid thing to say. Look, don't get your panties in a bunch and get mad at me. Posts that imply there is drug deals going on through this board are just plain stupid. Please don't cry. We all know how the board works but to come out and post about it is not a bright idea bro. Call me what you want. Yesterday you told me to go f*ck myself and now you are saying I am fickle. What is it gonna be next Davidd?? I am very interested to see what clever little cutdown you can come up with next. Please, amuse me some more! | ||

Well Maverick, that is sound advice, however I don't think it's appropriate for a newbie to be commenting on things such as scammers and what not. You've got a lot to learn, newbie. LOL | ||

And since you are a newbie, I don't think it is appropriate for you to be telling me what to do!!! |
