Title: Bitcoin Vendor Ig0wdaflo SCAMMER is blocking my feedback what do I do??
Post by: RevDrGod on May 24, 2013, 03:10 pm
I purchased Bitcoins with a MP from Bitcoin Vendor Ig0wdaflo. that was 2 days ago I have yet to hear a word from him, he ignores my emails. and has provided no coin. He promises to have coin ASAP with in 24 hours, that is not happening.
 My order is still "In Processing" meaning that I cannot submit honest feedback, while this guy is padding his own feedback. Can the order Status be changed buy Admin, if so will you please do it.

Mate, if you have FE for this vendor and I suspect you may have, your screwed. Sorry to be so blunt but once you FE for any order, SR Admins deem that transaction to be complete and will NOT do a thing for you, regardless of the circumstances. All you can do is raise the issue here as you've done and continue to try and make contact with the vendor. Bitcoins purchases on SR can't be made using the Escrow system and therefore if something goes wrong, it's all on you. For this reason alone, I would never purchase coins here off the Road. Some have with success but many have been burned like yourself.

Please see the SR Wiki here - the Buyer's Guide should have been read before you attempted to spend any Bitcoin on Silk Road:

Please note that, while there are many vendors offering to sell Bitcoins directly from this site, we are not set up to facilitate this and it is very easy to get scammed this way. Until we are set up for it, we recommend you get Bitcoins from a third-party exchange. If you do get scammed we will have no way to help you.

I need help with a bitcoin transaction from a Silk Road vendor.

Unfortunately we do not offer support for these kinds of transactions because we cannot hold your payment in escrow. If there is an issue, you'll have to work it out directly with your vendor.

Silk Road explicitly advises against using Bitcoin exchangers that operate here.

Thread locked as resolved.
