    I bought anavar and the bottle was cheaply labelled with a sticker that said, "Var" lol. I'd say that's a sure sign!

    I am amazed with all this great info available on this forum, that so many people still get fake gear. I have not purchased any yet, but I will for sure take advantage of all these experts before doing so.

    really good for spotting fake gear, this should be stickied so new members can read it easier.

    what do you guys think of "reference" sites. where the users vote on the best sources? a lot of them seem legit and have mods and a lot of members. They have a lot of mixed ratings on the sources. The ones that are voted the best by the users are at the top of the list. I went on and created my own account to make sure it wasn't a scam. I was able to make any comments I wanted and rate anything, and my comments and ratings were not removed.... was it a legit site?

    So let's just say you run a scam site and you get put on that reference site. What's to stop you from making a bot that will create a lot of accounts on that site and thus vote for your scam site? And what's to stop you from giving bad reviews to legit sites? Seems like it's easily possible. I think the way they do source checks on this site is probably the safest way to go.

    agreed. I am always skeptical since i got scammed my first time. I'm making sure they are g2g before ANYTHING else.

    There are only two ways to tell if your gear is fake
    1) get it lab tested (expensive)
    2) inject it and see what happens.

    Just by looking at gear and rubbing off numbers doesn't tell you anything. You're forgetting that a good portion of this stuff is home-brewed or come from UGL's. Sure, if you buy a legit name brand and the lettering wipes off it's probably fake but that just applies to legit pharmaceutical companies not UGL's.

    Here's a tip for not getting scammed, even though it's not 100%... Go to a reputable source board and look at the reviews. If you see hundreds of reviews praising their product chances are good that it's legit. Don't just type in test e on google and expect to find legit gear. It can happen but chances are you will get scammed a few times before finding a legit source.

    Your fishing mate and we aren't a source board so asking for sources isn't allowed and by the way by doing that you will 99% get scammed

    Please read the rules

    Thanks

    I work in emergency medicine and Kale is absolutely correct, DONT INJECT ANYTHING in question. An abcess or celulitis is the real deal bro and can lead to serious tissue loss or worse. I would ask him to use it first if he insists its good gear, then check to see what issues he may have from it. Personally it would still make me nervous......

    there is literally no way to verify the legitimacy of any black market steroids, even so called "hg"... know your source.

    As embarrassingly as it is to admit this i got bunk gear a few years back. It was some home cooked garbage that I paid top $ for, but I was an ignorant noob, so I deserved it. I agree with what has been said over and over, don't put anything in your body you aren't absolutely sure about, the risks are far too great not to.

    I have my own way to spot fake/underdosed gear.
    1) For pharma gear, taste a drop on your tongue. you'll get used to the flavour, and the first fake amp, you'll bust it.
    With pharma amps, normally either its 100% bunk or its 100% legit, i dont think there's warning for underdosed.
    2) For UGL stuff, I'd always use short ester, beacuse even if its not total bunk, Its often underdosed, and some batches are severely underdosed even if the lab is legit. So if its the case, you use short ester, and adjust the dose day by day to get the best out of it, for long ester, you'll notice underdosed stuff when its too late and screw up the whole cycle.

    I normally drink the whole bottle, if I gain 10 pounds I know it's legit

    Western Union give information to the Australian Customs. If you have had too many!!!!! transactions customs knock on the door. They did it to me and it was a full scale raid and included sniffer dogs. Don't trust any financial body. Nothing is safe. Good Luck John

    Nice, hardest part buying from an online source is you dont always get to check the vials/amps until you've bought them and got them delivered so research beforehand is vital
