Hey guys. I'm in the middle of paying for an order of Sarms and at checkout my debit card would not work. I emailed the source and they quickly responded to try this and that with none of it working. Then lastly they said we can just do through here, meaning email. I'm very hesitant to give my debit card info and complete this transaction through email. This is a well know research Chem site. But I just don't know. What do y'all think?
Most Chem sites now use over seas system to use credit cards. So what is probably happening is your back is declining the over seas purchase.Quote:

I sent you a pm Sfla80. Thanks!
I'll be dam if my card still didn't end up getting charged twice for $138 each!
if you question the fact if you should give em your card details over email, it shows you dont trust them 100%, so dont do that. odds are high that there database of payment cards processed via email will get "sold/stolen/leaked/hacked" in the future, so why risk. like sfla said, thats the best option to do.
Not a chance, i would never do that for AAS never mind daft SARMS.
Never EVER use a debit card for such a transaction.
Thanks guys! The charges came from their supposedly secure server. I clicked the payment key twice trying to make it take my card. But, I know it's crazy as hell to use a debit card for this stuff. I'm never doing that crap again!
another perk of sticking local. A traceless cash transaction.
Feel free to private message. But how might one go about that option if they don't have a local source in the neighborhood like that lol...wish I had more options. Still weighing mine outQuote:

Make friends. Everybody knows someone. You might not personally know a bloke in the commodity trade but someone you know could or someone they know. Theres no law about making friends and socialising.Quote:

I worked up, now I buy direct from source. Yes, its an UGL, but I have used the same guy for 4 years, never had a hiccup with orders, and I have never had suspicion of anything bunk. Plus it doesnt change hands before I get it, so the price is much nicer.
Previous to this, i worked my way through several sources.
So as much as I hate to say it, Euroholic is right. Networking is key here.
Send me your banking info for verification - I'll make sure it's GtG
Jk jk
It's all about gut feeling
I have done transactions that seems sketchy as fuck - yet they were legit. Yet, I have done a few which seemed 100% that stole my info & bought furniture in the UK with my info - yes, really
Yes. All of you guys are 100% right! Its just another example of yet another hoop to jump through in the wonderful world of UGL business.
1 of the 2 transactions that were pending on my account has already been removed.
Why wouldn't you just use a prepaid cc?
The online processors are notorious for creating an order every time you click the payment key. I've literally sneezed and made a double purchase of research supplies years ago. Luckily, I was able to get my CC to strike one of the transactions. They still double shipped the order, so I ended up sending the extra order back.Quote:

Call me paranoid, but I don't think the government liked the anonymity of using gift cards online?Quote:

Big brother :?:
I wouldn't ever put my debit card online anymore.
I agree, Bio. Amazon is one of the few places I do, and I'm getting ready to change that as well.Quote:

BTC is the way of the new
even on Amazon I would use a cc. I use my cc for everything that way in the event that it gets compromised I am only out the minimum payment until things are fixed. If your debit card gets compromised it creates a real mess. I also like getting the airline miles for just paying my bills :)Quote:

Took over 4 months to get my $$ back because at first the bank "didn't have" surveillance video, then they had it and said the guy looked like me. :lol: He's 5'8" and ~ 157lbs. I'm 6'1"+ and 260 lbs.+. Finally got a copy of the surveillance pics and showed them to my mail carrier because she had mentioned mail theft in our area. She was able to ID him and I provided all his info to the Sheriff's Office. They conveniently had no idea of who he was before then. Later found out he is their local snitch for info, which really pissed me off. :(Quote:

Edit: The other kicker was he hit 5 different banks in my area, I notified the Postmaster and reported the mail theft. Guy served a total of 5-1/2 months for financial card fraud. That was all. While on house arrest/probation, this genius stole items from the car of a lady who owned a pawn shop biz with her husband. Guess where he went to sell the shit that he had stolen. :lol: For that, he got another 4 months.
