Title: Selectively scammed?
Post by: sruser85 on May 10, 2013, 11:07 pm
First off this is really long, sorry, but I feel like I need to post this here now as much as I hate to do it... but I can't afford to just lose money like this to such an obvious scammer and get nothing for it. I've tried to work with the seller but they keep replying w/o ever answering my questions...

Ok so I finally made my first order here on SR, but unfortunately it's not working out so well for me...

I wish I would have done more research before I ordered from this guy, but if you go by his stats without really looking into him everything seems fine bc he has sooo many transactions and a lot of them sound great. Also I don't want to publicly name him here because I'm new to this (and he has my address) so I'm just going to post here for now and hopefully someone can tell me what to do next to get this issue resolved...

I thought things were just taking awhile to get to me, but then I noticed that plenty of other people who live in the same country as me have ordered from this guy after I did and most of them have already received their mail from him, while it's been almost month for me and still nothing. I'm assuming they have good buyer stats while I have none so that's why they've gotten orders and I haven't. Also I've never used this address before and this guy's stealth is supposed to be top notch so I doubt that's the problem.

 I've tried to ask him what's going on but now he's not even reading my messages, and of course I'm a new buyer so who's going to believe me over him? Well except for the fact that plenty of other people are also having issues with not getting orders or getting the wrong thing, bunk product, etc., only most seem to not be complaining about it and still giving 5 out of 5, probably bc he threatens to put you a vendor blacklist if you don't.

 Also he has sooo much feedback that a few bad scores don't really bring it down at all so he can afford to have those, and they barely even get seen bc you have to search through it all to find them. Well I took the time to do that because this is my first order and I'm upset that it worked out this way, so I went through just the last month of his feedback and picked out all of the no shows. Keep in mind these are all just from the last month!! I also have links to some forum threads about him where people are complaining and apparently he's a known selective scammer but I didn't read that before I ordered...

I already went to resolution and requested a time extension like his seller page says to do, but now after reading all these complaints mixed in with perfect reviews and people saying "quick shipping", and the fact that he's now ignoring my messages or replying without really saying anything I'm pretty sure that it's just not coming and I've been "selectively scammed". I'd much rather work things out with him(actually now someone else is talking to me from his account...) but he/they are making this hard so here I am.

There's NO reason why I should get only a 50% refund from this guy with all this evidence that he's obviously making tons of money by just not sending out certain orders and then only refunding half when buyers never get them. Also lately it looks like he's just asked tons of people to FE AND he's changing his name on here which is also pretty damn sketchy...

And here's some of his reviews all of which are from the last month and AFTER I placed my order with him. Obviously if I had seen these I never would have done it, and I tried to cancel it anyway when it took him forever to process but right before I could do that he marked it "in transit", which I seriously doubt ever got sent and he even admitted to someone else that there was a "bug" so he had to do that:

1 of 5    Wow what happened to this guy? Selective scammer? I order with tracking, gets marked in transit, says he will send tracking within 2 days...4 days later he says sorry will send it now...doesn't send, then says there was a bug and he had to mark all orders in transit...What? No more Mimms for me, Im taking my btc elsewhere

Ok now here's the rest...

2 of 5    very unprofessional,how his stats are so high baffles me.i have watched a decline in his stats and a rise of complaints yet he goes on his merry way.
he did accept my request of 50% refund,but the way i see it is if "you say you sent,but really ,you did not,then you still get 50% of the money and you still have that product to send again, or scam again" no communication,it was as if i was to insignificant to bother with.
only reason for 2/5 and not 1/5 is at leaset i got 50% refund
i reccomend staying away,especially if your from down under.3 no shows to Oz just on this feedback page    3 days

5 of 5    Giving seller benefit of doubt on the 5/5. Ordered over 2 weeks ago, still hasn't received product. Seller hasn't responded to message from 3 days ago.

5 of 5    Product never arrived, P refund was given.    13 days

3 of 5    This is 50% of the rating corresponding to the 50% of refund I've been given. No reship no full refund no lamb's breath due to likely improper package. Ordered from EU    13 days

5 of 5    Never arrived. I assume problem is on my end, and will try an other address    13 days

1 of 5    Three large orders all to different addresses and not a single one arrived.

Given 50% refund in resolution.

There is no way these were normal customs seizures. This was either:
- Selective scamming (badly selected at that)
- Some kind of serious shipping issue with the vendor.

3/3 orders not arriving is NOT acceptable.

DO NOT ORDER FROM THIS VENDOR IF YOU WANT YOUR PRODUCT TO SHOW UP.    13 days

5 of 5    Never arrived but received 50% refund    13 days

1 of 5    FE- Very dissapointing! Only thing this guy does promptly is pm asking you to FE. Asked several times for tracking # and pms either not replied to or not opened.    13 days

5 of 5    Package never arrived to oz, but seller refunded 50% as per refund policy.    14 days

2 of 5    25% refund after 7 weeks ...good communication until i fe then not even a msg to let me know there was a hold up    14 days

5 of 5    Item never arrived but I received a refund of 50% as stated in the vendor's policy.    14 days

5 of 5    Auto Finalized. Item not arrived yet    15 days    item

1 of 5    Total scumbag, if you dont use tracked shipping dont expect to get your product. It seams to be a common occurrence with this seller.    15 days    item

4 of 5    Product did not arrive in Aus. Not too sure whether it was stealth or just not sent.    15 days

5 of 5    Things didn't turn out exactly as hoped, but got a refund exactly as promised, would try again.    15 days

1 of 5    GHB arrived ~10 days after marked in transit to southwest USA. Haven't tried product but everything looks to be in order. Will update once tested (first time trying GHB).

Update: tested and really did not think the "GHB" did anything. Either the solution dosage wasn't enough (MIMM didn't clarify the mg / mL anywhere on the product page) or maybe there's something else in it... didn't feel any effects from taking 2 vials within 2 hours (and drinking a few drinks). Would not recommend.

Update #2 after talking with other members it seems MIMM's GHB has not been working for other buyers as well. A shame...    15 days

1 of 5    Absolute bullshit. Ripped off - tracking and all and lost way more than I bargained for. Shit seller and RUDE. Said he refunded half - refunded not even 10% of original order    16 days    item

1 of 5    Tracked item taken by customs. His refund policy is bullshit. Lost out and he not only gets all the money, he profits on bitcoin and doesn't refund what has been paid. Absolute disgrace    16 days    item

5 of 5    Asked me to FE which I did when I saw high ratings. 1 month later, no goods, no response, no BTC. AVOID!!    16 days

4 of 5    Item no show, hoping for refund    17 days    item

5 of 5    Have not received order. Resolving with MIMM.    27 days

3 of 5    Ordered 1.0g MDA
Transit Time: took ~8 days to southwest USA
Stealth: 5/5, highly doubtful that any scent could get through and looks like any other piece of mail
Quality: will have to update when I try it in a few days. Marquis test showed that it was either MDA, MDMA, MDE, or MBDB (I need to find out if I can get a more precise tester) which is a good sign.

All in all a good transaction, wouldn't mind a slightly process-to-"in-transit" time (took a couple of days) but that's just splitting hairs.

Update: took a good 200mg and did not feel a thing. Although it tested positive for MDA or an analog, it may be weak or cut with something. Would not recommend.    27 days

1 of 5    never received    28 days

5 of 5    Never turned up but we came to a mutual agreement.    28 days

This may seem like a very short reply in response to your rather long post, but the resolution administrator's decision is final. They take into account the histories of both buyer and seller, along with any other evidence presented during the resolution process and come to their decision based on that.

You are advised to read and search the forums before placing an order with any vendor. I'm glad to see that you stayed in escrow, and sorry to see that you didn't get the resolution that you'd asked for, but as mentioned above the administrator's decision is final in such matters.

Regarding 'changing their name', neither vendors nor buyers can change their account name on Silk Road. If they wish to use a new name, the only option they have is to start another vendor account from scratch - the same as anybody wishing to become a vendor.

GoingPostal is a new vendor account with 0 feedback from 0 purchases. If it is found that MarijuanaIsMyMuse has been scamming people then both MarijuanaIsMyMuse and GoingPostal accounts will be suspended. Indeed if you feel that MIMM is scamming, please use the "report this vendor" link on their profile page, and include a brief description of why you are reporting them.
