SOURCE CHECKS 101 (or How NOT to get Scammed)Copy

[T-MOS]

Are you NEW to the world of steroids ?

Are you impatient about finding REAL steroids online?

Are you asking for sources in your posts? Or posting your email address in hopes some NICE guy will contact you and sell you illegal substances without knowing who you are or if you are Law Enforcement?

If you answered YES to any or all of the above questions, then YOU my friend are a prime candidate for getting scammed !

Scammers prey on NEWBIES like you because they know you don't know how things work in the online world of Steroids. They know you are in a hurry and want to find them as quickly as possible without waiting around

THINGS YOU NEED TO KNOW TO PREVENT GETTING SCAMMED!!

1. NEVER ask for sources in ANY post you make in the open forums

2. NEVER put your email address in ANY post in the open forums

3. NEVER look like you are impatient to find a source or to have your source checked

4. NO legit source will EVER contact you to offer you illegal substances (can you see how much sense that would NOT make?) SO , ANYONE that contacts you with ANY reason saying that they have a source, will be LYING to you and trying to SCAM you !!

5. IF any member of this board contacts you offering any source, you should immediately forward that to *ADMIN* so that we can get rid of them from this board

6. From time to time, someone creates a ROBOT account and posts what may look like a Legitimate Website to sell Steroids. These are 100% SCAMMERS. They get on here in hopes that newbies will fall for them since they look like a legit website!! NEVER buy from a website that posts on the open forums as this Site would NEVER allow a site to advertise ILLEGAL substances here. BE WARNED !!

THE ONLY WAY TO GET A SOURCE CHECK

1. You must be a member of this board in good standing for a minimum of 45 days.

2. You must have a minimum of 100 quality posts. (postwhoring doesn't count)

3. Then and ONLY then, you can PM a WILLING VET/MOD to ask about your source. (DO NOT ask in the open forum for them to PM you!)

4. NEVER order anything without getting your source checked by the VETS/MODS. DO NOT count on other members to give you references as scammers will OFTEN make multiple accounts in order to give out references for themselves.

5. DO NOT settle for just ONE source check. There have been dishonest mods/vets in the past, so make sure you get confirmation from at least two or three VETS/MODS BEFORE you ever order anything online.


IF you can not follow these guidelines, then you are setting yourself up to be scammed. Do NOT come crying to this board if you have been scammed after you chose not to follow these steps.

Unfortunately we have several here that think its cool to scam members that do not understaand that they need a source check from a reputable person not a made up account in favor of the scammer....

Well, its in the rules, but no one seems to want to read them when they first sign up......so hopefully this will help others from getting SCAMMED !!!

good post, hopefuly this stops new members emailing other members asking for sources, and members being scammed. I personally dont use online sources but thats just me.

One question why has it changed? I thought it was 100 posts and 6 months??

Excellent thread. I have known a few good sources in my day, and none of them would ever consider approaching a total stranger and offering to sell them steroids . Any good source I know would not touch a new customer without an in-depth series of references from well know people in the community. It seems almost daily there are new scammers popping up, and new members falling victim to their tactics. What a shame, and so avoidable. People, a good source will NEVER need to solicit new clients, and will NEVER approach stranger via pm or email. Protect yourselves. Be smart, and never take a reference by just one person as gospel no matter who it is.

How do you really get a 100 posts without post whoring or asking stupid questions?

[T-MOS]

Well it is our hope that you are here to LEARN and not just find a source

so, if you are spending your time reading, you can ask questions that you need to ask to learn, or if you have good information, you can help out those that may need help.

this is a community here and the more you get involved, the more you will learn and the more others will be willing to help you

the problem is all the newbies are so impatient , they don't want to put in the time, so they are easy pickins for the scammers

[The_Dark]

Great post, bro..as always..

[DKU]

Everyone I've talked to have been more than helpful, so I hope to be able to pass it on in the future.

[8iron]

[luxifer93]

So where can I buy some?

Nice job T

[Mojo Football]

Very nice post. It helps the new guys on the site. I'm not sure why they would buy them from someone online anyways. I'm new to the site, but smart enough to know at least that much.

[PT]

good post t-mos. i wish it was essential for newbies to read it. my favorite are the scammers admin spoke of who start 4 different accounts under different ip's then use themselves as a referel. 99.9% of people who approach you will be a scammer. sources just wont do that

[T-MOS]

[vpchill]

I confess.l I am an Impatient NEWBIE!!!! Thanx For setting me straight. That was the best advice ive gotten so far!

I'm on about 8,600 and you'll rarely see me in the lounge or whoring.

He was always cool to me but thinking back to some of our exchanges I cant say it surprised me.

[10nispro]

I would edit that post and send it to admin. before lots of newbies see it and get ideas.
