question about scammers

[Enhanced777]

Hey guys I know you cant mention the source on here but I was wondering is a website who offers Visa debit/credit card payment a scammer for sure? It seems more safe than all the western union payments in terms of getting ripped off. I am VERY hesitant to buy online, but i have no other option since I dont have a source locally. Any help would be much appreciated (*** not asking for a source FYI***) i know the rules.

Actually, I'd be more wary of a website that DOES allow a credit card payment. People who send actual steroids in the mail don't want a paper trail which can lead back to them. If you're selling fake gear, then it wouldn't matter if it ever got traced back to you.

Here are my tips for finding a site that is legit:

If a website carries every pharmaceutical under the sun, it's probably a scam. They want to snare as many people as possible, so they offer as much as possible. Look for sites that sell a limited product line.

If a website is attached to, or sponsors, a forum, it's probably a scam. Scammers use forums and fake accounts to create all sorts of "positive feedback" about their scam site.

If the website seems like a clone of another website you've seen, it's most definitely a scam. Scammers often have dozens, even HUNDREDSs of sites, all clones of each other, and all scams.

If a website has a "Customer Feedback" section, it's probably a scam. Scammers post tons of fake "success stories" to give the illusion that the site is legit.

A great way to tell if a site is legit is to check their products against a manufacturer's website. I'll use a fake lab name for an example: if a site carries a drug made by "Ultrapharm", visit Ultrapharm's own website and see if they have a box where you can check the site in question to see if they are an authorized dealer. Most lab sites have this feature.

Look for a site that ships from a country where steroids are legal, such as Thailand or Turkey. They are more likely to be shipping legitimate product.

When in doubt, consult google. For example, if you are thinking of buying from a site called "Ultraroids.com", go to google and do a search for "Ultraroids.com scam". if it comes up with a bunch of results where people are bitching about being scammed by the site, you can bet for sure it's a scam. If nothing like that comes up, it's probably legit.

If you find a site that seems legit, order something relatively small from it to test it out. If you spend 50-100 bucks and the order comes through and looks perfectly legit, you'll probably be safe to spend 500 bucks on a full cycle.

Scam most likely.

WU or Green dot are more likely to be safe.

*chuckles* You're welcome!

See, because I'm such a massive geek and have been using the internet pretty much nonstop since 1995, I've seen how all the scams have evolved, and understand the basic means by which they can be carried out. This knowledge applies to most any internet scam, not just online pharm sites. I'm astounded by what people will fall for these days. For example, sending your user information to someone who is pretending to be hotmail staff.

I've often thought of offering to speak at schools regarding basic online safety and security. Maybe I should make a youtube series about it or something. Of course if I were to do that, I should PROBABLY leave out all the information I've given above regarding steroid scams. I think my mother watches my channel from time to time. *laughs*

ditto on the "everything under the sun"...no one has everything....ditto on a limited product list.

I know a site that takes credit cards....whatever my buddy orders he gets w/tracking in under a week. I think they are located in Hong Kong.....fwiw.

[laduem88]

even if there was a legit site that took credit cards, why would you risk it? you know how easy it would be to trace that back to you

Red section: 100% untrue. asserting that something is illegal and selling it as that is a crime punishable by law in the U.S.

Bold section: not always true but research is definately in order.
