Got ripped off???

**JohnJenson** · 07-31-2005, 04:09 PM

YEah i think i got ripped off. i thought i had finally gotten a good legit source. I had found the source from this website. I was almost 100% sure that it was good becaus,,, after recieving the source from a well respected mod on this site i checked and triple checked by source check with other mods and came out that it was all good...... western unioned the money, money was picked up and have not gotten any emails back about being shipped or anything. since i have emailed him with no response and got nothing.....i guess its possible the guy is out of town or something but i seriously doubt it. it just really perks my butthole that i was told it was legit by some mods, and it turned out to be bad,,,,, kinda makes me think this whole site is a scam in a way..... u guys got any opinions?

**G-13** · 07-31-2005, 04:15 PM

If the mods say he's good then you have nothing to worry about, the guy is prolly a business man and wouldnt want his rep ruined from one bad deal. how long has it been? if it goes too much longer, contact the mods who know him and tell them the deal,they amy or may not contact him for you to see whats up. so before getting too upset and posting openly like this. Just kick back and take it step by step...just my opinion
good luck

**JohnJenson** · 07-31-2005, 04:22 PM

yeah thats what i figured its only been a week but it just seems like the guy stopped responding to my emails

**JohnJenson** · 07-31-2005, 07:46 PM

bump

**Sir Lifts-a-lot** · 07-31-2005, 07:51 PM

you gotta remember that this stuff isn't a sources full time job, and it is summer. He may have taken a vacation or somthing if he has a family or somthing along those lines.

The only thing that seems odd is that he was around to know to pick up the money but got quiet on you after he did that.

Let us know what happens in the coming days. Some of us might be able to check other places to see what is up with your bro.

Also was the order a big one (dollar amount)?

**JohnJenson** · 07-31-2005, 07:54 PM

well yeah i know he could be on vacation but he always responded to emails before then stopped responding.....hopefully coincidence....but it wasnt a huge order just test and nolva about 190$ not a big loss but u know...

**Sir Lifts-a-lot** · 07-31-2005, 07:59 PM

ya, for an order that small I don't think he would be trying to ruin his reputation but hey you never know.

I also hit you up with a pm that might be useful to you bro.

**JohnJenson** · 07-31-2005, 08:22 PM

Well i cant pm yet b/c i made a new account b/c i didnt want to offend any of the mods or vets that helped me out... but i assume the pm will be there after i bump a few threads in the lounge?

**Tazwell** · 07-31-2005, 08:29 PM

i wouldn't worry about it.. if he does scam you he will hurt the mods' reputations and they will hurt his business, bad.. has it been more than 2 weeks? if you send him an e-mail send him a forwarded old e-mail so he knows your info and your order.. these guys have a lof to orders they can't remember everbdy.

**JohnJenson** · 07-31-2005, 08:56 PM

sir lifts a lot could u resend ur pm i can now get them on this account

**THEMOSTHATED** · 07-31-2005, 09:02 PM

Wow, scary. Keep us updated.

BG · 07-31-2005, 09:07 PM

yeah i know that it will probably take about 15 days but its jsut that when i let him know the money was sent i asked when i should expect it to arrive and no response since......i guess u guys are right im just overreacting

**davesuma** · 07-31-2005, 09:35 PM

haha, its nerve-racking when you order something, and the person selling it seemingly dissapears....if he went on vaca, he could have let you know......but it usually works out fine...

**THEMOSTHATED** · 07-31-2005, 09:58 PM

Is this a domestic guy?

**JohnJenson** · 07-31-2005, 10:21 PM

no hes not domestic,,,,romania

**davesuma** · 07-31-2005, 10:23 PM

yea dude, youve got some time then.........wait it out

**USN DV** · 07-31-2005, 10:27 PM

If it's coming international it could take some time I've waited over 3 weeks some times.

**freakintraining** · 08-01-2005, 03:58 AM

I agree....but easier said then done when waiting for the shipment to come in....

**dirtyvegas** · 08-01-2005, 07:01 AM

bro your so over reacting.....Romania, thats gonna take alot longer then 5 days.

look at it like this, after he pickes the money up you should give hime a few days to get all your gear together and package it. Then he might be having one of those busy days where he cannot make it to the post office. so thats like 3 days already + shipping time and comming from romania its gonna be alot loner then 5 days. Try atleast 10 min...

hang in there and itll be @ your door in no time. your gonna regreat this thread cause if "mods said is all good, then believe me is all good"...

**Heracles74** · 08-01-2005, 07:04 AM

I wouldn't think legit sources would be easily found on a website?? hmmm.

Mine would never be found there...

**dirtyvegas** · 08-01-2005, 07:07 AM

yeah i missed that one especially with only 39 post and just registered

**jc#9** · 08-01-2005, 09:09 AM

This is vacation time in Europe they have a lot more vacation days then us in the states. I for one do not check my emails when I'm on vacation.

**beefjr22** · 08-01-2005, 05:50 PM

If the guy has "disappeared" after he got your money with no responses, I would agree with you it does sound really fishy but if you checked with the vets or mods and they gave you the all clear than its most likely gonna go through and the package will show up.....keep us updated

**JohnJenson** · 08-02-2005, 02:48 PM

Well looks like good news guys,,,, i got the nolva today so i guess i should get the rest sometime soon pretty fast considerin romania. but is that how it usually works? the package is split like that ? sorry for all the ?'s but ive just never done this out of country stuff,,,,its kinda shady lol

**Sir Lifts-a-lot** · 08-02-2005, 02:59 PM

well Im glad to here that you got your nolva bro.

International orders are always scarry ordeals even if it is a known and truested source.

Hopefully your other packages get through with no problem.
