online gear sites

[unvme9180]

Before I get my ass handed to me...Im not asking for a source. I know you guys say that 99.9% of online sites that sell gear are scams and that you should only buy online if its your absolute last resort. My question is to the guys who have purchased online, wheter it be domestic or foreign. Do you find that the places that take credit cards via a thrid party seem to be more legit than those ones that only take cash, check, money order or western union?

Credit cards can be traced. By feds, or anyone. Also if they got your number they can rip you off again and again.

[unvme9180]

CC's can be traced. But the company never get your CC#. Its done through a 3rd party.

[NEW_IN_THE_GAME]

I would go Western union, they tend to be straight 80% or so. everything has a risk though.

A lot of sites are just blatent ripoffs man. I hope you are careful and realize how easy it is to get ripped off. Be safe.

As for your question, well, I can't really say for sure but, from the sounds of it, I wouldnt use em. Stick around here, prove yer worth and check with some mods/vets before you waste yer money.

[unvme9180]

Skullmasher, I intend on doing that. Im not rushing into anything. I just wanted to get some honest opinions on the subject.

Companies that take WU are generally more legit imo. Any source who asks for a credit-card, I would never dream of using. They could rip you off, they could be tracking you for the police. Even with a third party company handling the money, there is a chance of getting ripped off or caught.

The site i order from takes Only Western Union and I have had at least 15-20 orders from them with NO problem at all, my shit gets to me in like a week after they recieve my cash

Yup, get a source check when you qualify.

Bump to this...I'm in the same boat!

[unvme9180]

y not, where in NJ?

[getpumped24]

75% are scams. if u easily find the site on a google search, its probably a scam site. i have a great source, discrete shipping, western union only, 1 week shipping. its always risky online.

how u get a source check

[unvme9180]

100 posts and 45 days on the board minimum for a source check. The vet/mod has to be willing as well.

Not all of them are scammers. They are pricey though.

[Swifto]

I know of some that are priced well and have good/fast delivery, I've also used some. All I have used only accept money order's and WU. Just my experience with them.


DO NOT PM ME FOR THE ONLINE SOURCES I HAVE USED. I WILL NOT RESPOND.

[big.wheels]

I've used the online sources and have never been scammed after many orders. I don't think there's a lot of difference in CC or WU. If the feds really want to trace it and track you down, they will. Even if you use a fake name at WU, they always have cameras and they'll find a way to find you. JMO

you have your answers mate WU is the way to go,this thread will be close now as it could go awry...................
