This is the JimmyInkedUp story: The rise AND fall of a once trusted and well liked member of the bodybuilding community.
Bodybuilding in general has a small community of people. Most of us got started by reading magazines or asking other big guys what we needed to do to get big. Over the years the community got bigger and eventually forums came about. We now had a place where we could ask direct questions and then receive feedback from men and women that have gotten to where we want to be. Forums are a GREAT resource for many of us. They certainly have been a great resource for myself. Over the years I have gathered a wealth of knowledge on the subject and decided to give back to the community. Everyday I still continue to learn but I also do the best I can to answer questions that many of you have..... Along with the many other mods, vets, and monitors on this forum.
Being a staff member here is a bit like being in a club. It doesn't mean anything in the real world, outside this forum. It doesn't mean anything to other staff members at other boards (and there are some ignorant mother fvckers out there). It doesn't mean that anyone here is any better than another. It's just something that I can't really explain. Each and every staff member here has the best interest of the members at heart. We try to pass along critical information about known scammers or bad labs along. We try to give the best advice possible. We try to keep the spamming and the attitudes of thousands of alpha males in check. Being a staff member here is a privilege and something that has to be earned.
Now..... Onto why I'm making this post. Being on a forum does leave one vulnerable. A lot of members are desperate to find a supplier. This leaves them open to random people sending them messages to purchase AAS without actually knowing who they are buying from. The scammers that rip off newer members are all over the forums. They're fairly easy to stop also..... Just don't send money to someone who you don't really know! So what's the next level for a scammer? Building a relationship. You'd think these guys would put their time in to actually earning a fvcking living in the real world. Instead they'd rather log in daily and give advice to hundreds of people just to gain trust. In Jimmys case - he was here for years. He became a staff member. He even wrote threads about scammers and how to not fall victim to them. This guy was a wealth of knowledge and was consistently posting and helping all the while his inner demons were at work.
Let me fast forward a bit to after jimmy had failed to send out some stuff that he'd promised a bunch of people..... Jimmy maintained contact with me personally via the forum and text message for several months. Normally I'd have told everyone that jimmy had taken their money and to write it off as a loss however he explained some stuff to me that seemed like it could be credible as I had gone through similar rough times in my life. I see no reason why I need to stay confidential anymore as he has fvcked so many people. I won't be naming names though. So Jimmy tells me that his life is falling apart. His wife is addicted to painkillers, she's taking his kids, she has a new man in her life. This really hit home for me. I myself was a single father fallen victim to a wife who became addicted to prescription drugs. Over the next few months I had been jimmys shoulder to lean on. I gave this guy advice based on my own experience. I won custody of my daughter and I figured I could maybe coach him through his troubles. Jimmy actually listened, or so I thought. He asked questions every single day. This didn't seem like any scammer I've known. A scammer takes your money and never logs back in. Why would jimmy take money and then stick around this whole time?
Ladies and gentleman..... Meet the new scammer. This guy has been soliciting members on other boards for the last few months. He's been earning the trust of their staff members, their members, all the while knowing his time will be limited. Why on earth would someone spend all this fvcking time trying to take $200 here and there? That's beyond me and only for him to answer.
Now..... Let me rewind back to when we first thought jimmy might have taken money with no intention of sending the products. So other people have reached out to us and through our investigation we've found out that jimmys story and his contacts go way deeper than we've thought.
Members..... Meet TRAPOLOGY. Trapology was a member here. Not overly productive..... Just productive enough to get his name out there. Well.... He links up with our friend JimmyInkedUp. Trapology operated a UGL. Why on earth would Jimmy and Trapology be interested in eachother? Are you ready for this? Take a seat..... We have evidence that shows Jimmy was soliciting members and sending them to Trapology for a kick back. Jimmy would make "commission" so to speak. Jimmy however would only send smaller orders to Trap. The bigger ones he'd say was for himself and he'd keep the profit. Here's another issue..... We received info that Trapology would make AAS dosed to whatever you wanted and would label it whatever you wanted. You could ask for 75mg/ml test E and to have it labeled 250mg/ml. So the question begs to be asked..... Just how good was ANY of the gear to begin with? Jimmy knew all of this and it didn't phase him. Why? Because for him it's about the hustle. Ok so now we get to probably the best part of all. Jimmy has been consistently sending business to Trap. So before Jimmy goes full blown scam artist he asks Trap for a front. Money up front in exchange for a promise to send business his way. Trap agrees like an idiot and guess what jimmy does? He bounced on Trap like he did the rest of us. For fvcks sake..... Is there no limit to how badly someone will fvck people?
This guy is one of the lowest, most useless, and definitely the shadiest member to have ever graced these forums. What's the worst part of all this? JimmyInkedUp is still out there. He's not welcomed here anymore but many other boards are unaware of his bullshit. I'm asking all members to be aware and if you visit another forum just let your friends know. I don't want to see anyone else fall victim to this guys shady practices.
