Title: canadianknowledge VERY VERY SUSPICOUS ACTIVITY - POSSIBLY A BIG SCAM
Post by: Imperialised on May 17, 2013, 07:38 pm
This guy is offering massive amounts of weed, to anywhere in the world with free shipping at crazily low prices. He has recently updated his profile to state that he has been scammed for 5k and now requires everyone to FE

He has numerous early finalization's on his account, some for thousands of dollars, for lb's of weed

The pictures he is using to represent his product are not his and have been taken from the internet. If you save any of his product images and perform a Google image search with those images, you will see where he is getting his photos from

His MK Ultra listing

Has a picture copied from here, CLEARNET:

His Jack Herer listing:

Has a picture copied from here, CLEARNET:
http://www.budsmagazine.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/01/July-4-Jack-Herer-Sativa-004-150x150.jpg

The same goes with all his other photos

I hope I am wrong about this, because people have clearly already finalized on 1000's of dollars worth of transactions (2 in his $1750 1 lb listing of MK Ultra alone)

Here is some of his recent feedback:

DO NOT FE -
CLAIMING HE WAS RIPPED OFF
WILL UPDATE LATER -
DO NOT FE -

Didn't want to FE, canceled order. No problems.

Order canceled by request because I didn't want to FE.
   
Order canceled by request because I didn't want to FE.


Although some people have already smelled something fishy, many others have not done the same and have possibly fell into a very costly trap

All in all - a new seller account (only 2 months old), recent feedback, prices that are too good to be true, a very suspicious story that now requires everyone to FE and proof that the pictures he is using to represent his product that are not his and have been taken from the internet are all signs that send of alarm bells in my ears, in a major way

As I say, I hope I am wrong, but it does not look good!

Awesome!  Thank you for putting this post together - it helps to be able to refer to the facts when they're all presented in a single post!  :)

Thanks for this, Imperialised! As scout has said, he has reported it up but having everything here the way you've laid out will be VERY helpful! +1

SCAMMER - for sure

All his listings are now gone...he asked a bunch of people to FE on large orders...

And all his positive feedback was from small listings (under 100$) from couple months ago.

Definitely took the money and ran...

Fucking scammers -
