    On a certain open source posting board, several of the sources being pushed were very well known scammers. Why would a source be plugged openely? It makes no sense, if they are in fact legit, they won't be around long at all.

    Good sources don't have to boast about it and look for business.

    If a source comes to you, there's a problem. It's like someone saying, "Here's a million dollars". There's a catch.

    Thanks for the replies everyone. Are there ANY legit open source boards out there? to clarify, i have not been approached nor would i trust anyon that approached me. i just happen to find a couple of sources that were known at a couple of boards from doing my homework... question is though, if any of the boards that let people comment about sources (both good and bad) are legit..

    I frequent one board where I there are sources posting openly, but it's not them saying obserd things. Funny thing is alot of these guys I've seen nothing but good info on and even spoke well of around AR. I wouldn't just jump in without hereing legit shit, but so far what I have delt with has been 100% legit. I guess it's somegood somebad and who and where your at!

    International sources are more likely to be legit on an open sourcing board but the truth is it is generallly only a matter of time before a bust, a poor supply line, or a scammer turns up on these boards. In my experience the best domestic sources are very low key and minimize their clientele.

    This makes sense with regard to domestic. with international though, would they even ben able to be arrested in they were in a place like belgrade where they could just mail out packages to the US after buying gear at a pharmacy legally?

    Well guy's, there are legit International sources who hang out here on AR who are also posted on open source boards.

    The only thing is they respect AR's "No source posting" rules.

    Holy crap where you been?


    I agree also though...

    I know quite a few international sources that open post that are good guys and have been around a long time. Very few domestics that I woudl trust on a PUBLIC open source board, but there are some on PRIVATE open source boards that I do.

    I've contacted several "sources" on the open board. Of those, who replied several are listed on the scammers' list.

    Also, some of the prices are way too high, others are too good to be true. - Not a good sign. - I think all these posts are made by the same peole.

    Check out other places before you make your decision.
