Looking for a Scammer List? Read this...

[Big]

There have been several threads lately asking about scammer lists. For starters, this is not now, and will never be a source board or a board where sources, good or bad, are openly discussed. This is a site where we provide information concerning the safe and responsible usage of compounds you may or may not obtain on your own, and I feel that the information we provide here is second to none.

That being said, let's take a moment to consider the dynamics of the so-called scammer lists.
For the sake of hypothetical discussion, let's consider that there are 2 sources, source A and source B. Source B is a scammer or a selective scammer (a selective scammer would be someone who lets some packages arrive and satisfies some customers, then larger orders are placed and surprise, nothing).
Representatives of source B join the board anonymously, and fly under the radar. They answer some questions, chat with people, and build a relationship with other members. Then those representatives go to work telling people how source A scammed them or ripped them off. How is this information verified? Well in this game, it isn't. It can't be. Now let's imagine that on a much larger scale. How accurate is the list? Source A could be solid, responsible but develop a bad rep just because there is no way they can come on the board and provide factual information defending themselves, it's not like they can give the personal information of their satisfied customers, so it's one person's word against another in a world where the actual people involved seldom if ever meet face to face.
Now let's imagine that someone orders a package from source A. The package never comes, neither does a seizure letter. That happens more than you might think, there is certainly not a letter received for every package that is seized. Well there is another strike on the list against source A, even though they provided the service they promised.
In the end, the list doesn't mean much.
Keep in mind this isn't like ordering a pizza where if it never comes you go to Domino's and raise hell till you get your money back. People take risks to provide a service, and if you chose to utilize their service, you share the risk, whether you want to or not.

Great read. I was guilty of asking for a scammer list by individual, not by source. I had someone trying to sell me AAS through PMs, so I made a thread about a list of scammers after only being a member here for a few weeks. Anyway, Big, your thread makes everything clear. Once again, great reading right there

it's a shame we have to even have posts like this. If only this stuff was more easily accessible and no one had to worry about getting ripped off. Oh well, reality sucks sometimes
