whats legitimate?

**waitintildawn** · 10-09-2007, 08:46 AM

how can you tell if your buying the real stuff n not bs from a website?? n is it safe to say im better off buying one or two thing to see if its real first?

**Ir0n** · 10-09-2007, 08:58 AM

you can do source checks to see if the source is legit. read the forum rules before you do that though.

**waitintildawn** · 10-09-2007, 09:16 AM

ok thanx. but im new to this stuff n dont really know what to check for

**Big** · 10-09-2007, 06:07 PM

for starters what are your stats, age, etc.

**MACKATTACK** · 10-09-2007, 06:13 PM

You need to get personal reviews of the website, there are places to find that, I know for fact there is one online website that started their own personal forum and you can talk to people through there.........

there is also an online website supplier with their own forum who deletes any negative posts about said supplier, giving a rather slanted view of their approval rating.

**MACKATTACK** · 10-09-2007, 06:52 PM

ok well the site im talking does not delete threads and there are negative posts about the site, but mainly about the length of time it took to get or that it didnt come in one package and what not, etc....

**domeyeahaigh** · 10-09-2007, 08:18 PM

how do you know they dont delete threads????

anyways man, just do research, if the site has a forum, ask questions..sounds like you got it covered, if you know so much that you konw they dont delete threads, you must know them quite well.. eh?

Please bro, read the rules!

No listing of sources, suspected source websites, emails, labs, etc. period!

Read some of the educational threads (especially with a B/F of 30%) as well while you're at it. You'll learn a lot.

Welcome to AR...

i just wanna get ripped.... i was workin out for 7 months n got down to 221 without cardio (was waitin unil i got aronud 215 to start that) but i broke my hand which required surgery n i couldnt workout for 12 weeks n i lost most of my strenght n size in my upper body... plus my diet went 2 shit.... the bf % is only a guess thats where i was at when i was last tested (age 21)

**Big** · 10-10-2007, 10:37 AM

diet and cardio until you get the body fat% under control, then go from there.

**waitintildawn** · 10-10-2007, 10:55 AM

ok.. do u think i should hold off on getting gear

**pr0digy9daniel** · 10-10-2007, 10:58 AM

This is how you tell...

A) Are they using a hotmail or yahoo account? If yes, they are a scam
B) Are they advertising openly on a ton of boards and/or sites, and/or google? If yes, they are a scam
C) Have they got a fancy website with an online trolley system? If yeh, theyre a scam
D) Do they accept credit cards? If yes, they are a scam, no source would run that risk unless it was with a trusted customer
E) Is the price too good to be true? If yes, its a scam
F) If you google their name, do you get a ton of questionable references? If yes, its a scam
And finally
G) If you email a mod, and they havent heard of em, or have heard bad things about em, then they are a scam, or will send fake/bad gear...

More than likely...

**waitintildawn** · 10-10-2007, 11:02 AM

thanx alot

**waitintildawn** · 10-10-2007, 11:53 AM

is it possible for somebody to pm me so i can ask about the sites?

**Error** · 10-10-2007, 12:03 PM

I’ve received steroids from an online site that accepts credit cards and got them very quick.

Also some labs have an online site which you can use to verify the suppliers site and email, I know this is still not 100% but it narrows it down and once you receive your goods from a lab that allows you to do it, the serial can be verified to check they are legit.

Always research.

you must have 25 posts to send or receive pm's
you must have been a member for 45 days and have 100 posts to do a source check.

Not true on that one, One of my Favorite and most reliable sites is credit card friendly...

Very true... I'd personally say, if the source has its own forum.. stay away.. (but that is just my thoughts.. been there and gotten burnt)

**J*U*icEd** · 10-10-2007, 03:38 PM

needtogetbackinshape you got a PM!

**waitintildawn** · 10-10-2007, 04:02 PM

Well, they are a dumb source. If they are willing to take credit card payments from any tom, dick or harry they dont know, they are risking alot... Its also possible for chargebacks to happen. Most sources I know demand moneygram/westernunion/egold up front unless you are a regular trusted customer. I hate the fee, but its not that much and its a small price to pay for the anonymity and untraceability... Not to mention when you pay by credit card they will know your home address...

I don't totally agree with the things I highlighted in bold. Some can take credit cards because they might be in a country where it is legal. and the people that advertised on boards some of them were legit, but look at the mess that happend a few weeks ago
