    ordering online (through email) scares you because?

    i was wondering what peoples biggest fear about ordering online is, and i mean through an email source, not a website or anything like that.

    Just that a trusted source has turned scammer.

    I hear that...they say every source eventually HAS to follow one of two paths. Get busted or turn scammer. I suppose the third option would be to just get out of the game altogether, but I don't know if many can turn away from it before one of the two bites them.

    Haven't had anyone turn scammer on me yet (knock on wood), my biggest prob so far has been 'contacts' just up and dropping out of the biz.

    well my bigget fear is running into a agent or something and i dont mean a Matrix agent ........ok that was a bad joke. i mean i got a goop tip from someone who is well respected on the boards (a mod), and i have contacted this source. we are building our client source relationship right now . i guess its that initail step of actually placing an order that i am fearful about. its my first time doing anything like this. just nerve racking.

    I would be concerned with being scammed. I guess you could always hunt them down like a dog and ripp his ears off or something. People don't like it when you take a body part from them. (hehehe)

    I stopped ordering in person when my gym source was involved in a shooting with a client wounding the client and killing the source. I don't like dealing with people face to face like that.

    Never spend more than you can afford to lose. Always check references. Always be willing to walk away if something doesn't feel right. Always have everything you need to complete your cycle and PCT before you start and you should be ok.

    I just got this source but he doesn't want to sell me anything that he won't make much $ on.

    I wanted to do a test order of like $300. DBol , Nolva etc. (I got a friend with 20 amps of sust). The source doesn't wanna sell it so oh well. I'll deal with face to face instead because too many shady/greedy people.

    Some people just don't understand. If someone buys small (Say $200-400) and gets the shipment and is pleased.......obviously the buyer would most likely buy from again.

    I'm too afraid of getting ripped off online. It just seems like any company advertising online would be a scammer!!!

    FUCKING EXACTLY! You hit it on the dot man. No way in hell I'm gonna throw out $500 without doing a test order.

    #1. I don't make alot of money to throw around like that.
    #2. I got car payments, bills, insurance so most of my $ goes there.

    I can't afford to piss off much money on a scammer or a chance of getting my package seized.

    I've gona few different routes in the past...websites, email, and gym sources. I never order more than I could afford to lose from the websites, and really only use them in a pinch. For the email sources, I've done countless hours of homework before even contacting them. And gym sources are just too damn expensive when I have other options available to me.

    But to answer your poll, my biggest fear so far has been getting a controlled delivery on a big order from an overseas source. That was a nervous week or so.

    Well if all else fails and you are over 35 you can always go to a script doctor, get diagnosed as having andropause and get a real prescript for steroids under the guise of testosterone replacement therapy. The FDA really frowns on anyone under 35 years old getting scripts for testosterone so you are kind of out of luck if under this age and its also more expensive because pay for doctor visits and blood tests, etc, but then if the alternative is getting scammed occassionally, then maybe its not so expensive.

    Some of us only have face to face contacts...no online/email sources.
    I have known my guy for a long time (and I know where he lives ).
    I know the other sources are a lot cheaper, but I trust this guy.
