alright guys,
I'm always on the lookout for decent vendors that ship to UK/EU, noticed these guys have been on here recently..
Now I don't like to bust balls or cause hassle to ANYONE let alone sellers (esp. after they've shelled out cash on the sellers acct fee) but I have a bad feeling about this one.
First of all, a shit ton of "finalising early" feedbacks (almost 2 pages) and even though the sellers has been on SR for 13 days a majority have been left on the SAME DAY by the looks of it:
5 of 5 finalizing will update once recieved item 1 day
5 of 5 Finalising early on request. item 1 day
5 of 5 Finalized Early. item 1 day
5 of 5 Finalizing early. Trying out seller for first time. Will retract if product isn't as described. item 1 day
5 of 5 finalize early because seller ask, will update later item 1 day
5 of 5 Leave feedback here item 1 day
5 of 5 finalising early as required item 1 day
5 of 5 finalising early as required, let you know the quality item 1 day
also..
both of their strains cost the same amount of BTC...
their weed prices are extremely cheap...
they use the same photo on all their listings...which looks like a stock photo with mario pasted on top..
and finally I've never heard of a weed strain called "respect" or "channel"
as i've said before...I hate to bust balls but this one just seems dodgy...perhaps vendor or people that have ordered can chime in?

that's what i'm saying mate, cos their only a day old i'm guessing this guy has signed up to multiple buyer accounts, funded them with btc, whacked on feedback e.t.c
when i first discovered it a week ago this guy had zilch feedback and I thought "nobody's going to fool for this one" , then blam all this feedback lol
could be buyers but the whole 1 day thing makes me think it's shill accounts.. ;)
-
good looks, some sketchy stuff.
-
We noticed this vendor the other day also. Willing to put our entire stock into saying it's a scam.
-
this vendor is really strange.
Yesterday put 50grams and 10 grams on sale and today i find those two items removed.
Probably a scammer.
-
very interesting startup.
Hopefully some reports from my EU friends start coming in.
-
Never finalize early!!!

Annnnnd he's gone. No listing anymore.
Don't know if he's tricked enough people into his scam or if this thread scared him away though.
-
My order is still in escrow, not sure if I should trust this person anymore..
-
I ordered 50g of critical to Mario, and i'm still in escrow, i think this guy is legit.
-

Same
Here's my input guys, I saw how cheap it was and thought I'd try a gram, the cheapness I put down to a new seller trying to build up a good rep fast, nothing wrong with that.
My order still says "processing" even though I placed it around 30+ hours ago now
In my original order I expressed to him my desire for a fast shipping vendor and we could do good business in future, he responded with
"Hello!
I've got lots of orders this week and I could take a days to ship.
Please be patient.
I'll keep you informed
Regards
Mario"
I then checked his feedback and saw something worrying and sent him this message 5 hours ago (he HAS read it, but chose not to reply..........)
""SCAMMER DONT FINALIZE HE SENDS EMPTY LETTERS"
Hi, for this reason I wont be finalizing early, no offense to you but you are a brand new seller.
I am a 6 month member, you can go ahead and check out my stats, they're all perfect and once this order and another order clears 13 successful transactions.
That cool with you? sellers are usually only wary of new sellers."
Yeah meant to put wary of new buyers.
Anyway, what do we think guys?
-
Hey guys,
I've talk with him 2 days ago asking why he's list disappear and he answer me like this:
"I'm running out of weed. That's why ;)"
I don't know if that could help everybody but i fink is very important.
-
I bought from him.
Didn't arrive yet, but was only some days ago.
At least one of the "Finalize Early" comments is from me.
At that time he had only 1 Feedback and I bought only a small amount so finalized early. Seems like some other people thought the same?!
5 minutes ago I sent him a message about this Thread and if he could make a statement.
I hope everything is ok and that he just ran out of stuff. His prices were low, so i wouldn't wonder.
And this one 1of5 Rating he is is a bit weird. I mean why would he send "empty letters"?
-
Hi everybody. I'm Mario
First of all, I'm not a scammer.
I'm a common guy with a common job which try to make a little bit more money selling weed. And it's really hard for me to respond all those mails, package everything and send it (and ofcourse work at my job).
I've got a lot of orders, I did not expect to ran out of weed that fast maybe I put it too cheap.
I created the 10g and 50g because many people asked me big bulks but I don't have that much weed. That's why when two people bougt i take it away. I also buy to some friends so when I saw that I got no more weed left I take it away from SR.
Actually I did not want to sell all the weed because I would know that somebody will experience problems. And I wanted to have more to resend it.
In order to package properly yesterday I bougt a vacuum machine and yesterday I packed everything. Today all packages will be sent. And I wont ask for finalizing to anyone since they get it.
I'm sorry if somebody did not get that weed. I promise when I've got more I'll send it for free.
I really trust silkroad because I bought here before and I've got a good experience.
sorry for all the inconvenience I've caused
I'll try to make it fast nwxt time
Regards.
See you soon
Mario

Just dont list what you dont have.

By the way. Before voting me negative could you please contact me. I can make a refund.

I have it. That's why I took it off the website.
I don't have it in case somebody does not arrive the package.
-
Thanks for the statement!
That was exactly what I thought what happened.
He started small and got overrun by lots of orders.
Some people have to understand, there are not only full time sellers with a huge stock here.
I will update on arrival.
Greetings
P.S. Watch out with those bets ;)
We noticed this vendor the other day also. Willing to put our entire stock into saying it's a scam.
-
Oh my god. Please tell me he is NOT a scammer.... Last time I put my trust in a new seller I lost $200.
Supermariobros, your package still hasn't arrived (this morning) and you claim to have posted it 3/4 days ago. Please PM me or something, I need some reassurance before I shit a brick.
-
Could you please wait some more days?
It's christmas time.
-
Ok. I just read all of the prior posts in this thread and panicked. Lol. It will probably arrive tomorrow I hope!
-
I would also like some pictures from that user which says that I send "empty letters".
And please contact me on SR.
-
Don't get too worked up mate customs could have removed the product upon inspection but I've got a feeling it could be another vendor or a feedback extortionist trying to fuck with your rep for saying that.
Good luck with the business mate, sorry for the bad introduction just thought I'd double check the situation r.e your vendor page, I might buy some off you soon myself when the good feedback rolls through, can you give us more info on the weed you've got?
cheers
-
As soon as you get some good feedback in mate I'll be ordering. Would it be possible to not force early finalizing? This is a sure fine way for people to say you are a scammer when you're really not.
-
Yeah! No problem, next time I'll check the users statistics and depending on how much they've bought I'll ask or not to finish early.
I hope everything get fixed soon, weed reach its destinations and users get happy, and they give me good feedback so I can continue selling.
Thank you everybody that trusted me.
Will keep in touch ;)
-
Still nothing. Just saying...
-
Still nothing here also ;(
I will wait till Monday before I'm considering it lost or taken by customs.
Christmas season is over and I don't think an envelope will take that long from Spain to my country.
On your page you write:
For small shipments I put triple zip-bag and then inside a big bubble envelope.
I don't think that's a good idea.
You really should use vacuum bags and normal envelopes instead of bubble bags.
I know Supermario is new and maybe he doesn't have much experience in shipping.
I still hope it comes in on monday.
Greetings
-
Ok now I'm worried too. You should've used a vaccum sealer!
Still hasn't arrived, was ordered 31st December. What day is it again? Oh yeah, the fucking 9th
-
Still waiting my package also
-
Supermariobros give us an update so I can feel better about this. Did you vacuum seal?
-
Hello everyone, thought i could add couple of line here as well :)
i was the 2nd one to roder from SuperMario , he said he shipped last monday.
I also ordered from South Africa at the same time as Mr.Mario, that package arrived today,
still no sign of Marios postage, despite we're in the EU.
Starting to get a bit anxious aswell, one thing though...
Why would a scammer run out of "Weed in this case..." so he wont be able to scam more?
sounds pretty stupid to me, you wouldnt wanna rob a bank without having any petrol in the escape car...
anyway, just hopes someones confirms they got package from this guy :)
cheers all
-
hello, me too still waiting after 8 days
-
Me, again.
Nothing in the mail today :(
Shipping date was: January 2th
Destination is not too far from his place to take that long, i think.
Sent him a msg now.
I will update status.
-
Po.Box still empty today,
Where do you live schwippschwapp ? Switzerland ?
-
I'm close to Switzerland.
I have a bit hope left that he has trouble with shipment or something.
His comment here wouldn't make any sense if he just wanted to hit and run?!
But with now at least 4 people waiting, it doesn't feel well.
-
still nothing today, i have a bad feeling about this luckily i didn't spent much
-
Still nothing for me as well today, all we can do is hope.
but i have a bad feeling right now!
no ones receives any packages, that's not good :(
-
still nothing for me today, i think it was definatly a scam
-
I'm pretty sure it he was a scammer judging by the usual patterns of scammers and the reasons outlined in the OP...however I would love to be proved wrong ..
-
Someone left in his feedback about dont release early he sends blank envelopes so I messaged him saying I wont be, he said Okay
So not too worried can get it back in resolution center, although highly doubt anything is coming.
-
This all makes no sense.
I wonder why he even came here to make the statement if he only was out for the scam. By the time he posted on this thread. all the action has already happened. So he didn't do it it to get more time.
Either this was his first time as a seller and he became cold feet or some else happened?!
If he only was out for the scam, he could have gotten much more.
But that's only positive thinking.
Was the last time i did a "finalize early".
P.S. Is there something like a Buyers Feedback? I read about it somewhere, but cant find it.
-
Still empty today, but i receive my package from mr.ouid (canada), sent the same day ...
-

what date did you order? i take it you're in Europe waiting this length of time? i'm getting something from Canada and just want to know how long to wait
I ordered 9days ago, so it take approximately 7/8days (lettermail not xpresspost) for West Europe.
-
P.S. Is there something like a Buyers Feedback? I read about it somewhere, but cant find it.
not yet - a few people are campaigning to get it though. as a genuine, not-out-to-fuck-anybody-just-looking-for-quality-product buyer, i'd be happy to have this
I'm not a vendor but I agree that this would be brilliant. I'm a fairly new buyer who's only made a few orders (all successful, 0% refund rate and 0% auto-finalize rate) but naturally a few vendors are still suspicious because I'm quite new. However buyer feedback (especially when vendors with a good reputation leave good feedback for me) would really help. Hopefully this happens sometime in the future.
-
Since SR is nothing else but Ebay with other goods. Why not use that system.
I don't know how possible it is to realize, but the Ebay model works(for me at least).
Simply everyone should have a feedback about him that is viewable for everyone.
A Buyer and a Seller-Feedback.
Maybe we should start an own thread.
This drifts away from our still not delivered Weed from Spain :'(
-
Ok so this spanish dude just opened up a seller account on Silk Road, pretended he was selling ganja, put up a few pictures of fake skunk and ripped off around 12 different people for approximately $1000 USD and has left the website without a trace.
Is this how this website operates? It's this easy to fuck over Silk Road clientele? I am very fucking disappointed, what's to stop more vendors fucking over more buyers (this obviously) in the future?
Supermariobros, any comments?
-
I played Sherlock Holmes.
The amount of all his early finalized statements is only 29gram.(which is about 1 ounce. Dont know if that means something)
Given that he only scammed these people and that is price was under 10$/gram if I remember it right.
I don't think he scammed more than 300$ with it.
-
It's easy to fuck them over if they have below-average intelligence / inexperienced with buying drugs online...
-
I found out it is possible to update you own Feedback.
In SR go to Account page and then View Feedback on the right side.
You then can edit feedback.
Found out about this feature just yet and wanted to share it.
Updated my feedback on Supermario.
-
I had not finalized early and my coins are still in escrow. Supermariobros seems to have dissapeared or is ignoring me. Does anyone know how I can get them back?

Same here
Let it go into the resolution center and explain he's a scammer, EVENTUALLY you'll get your BTC back, but its going to be a while..
