That sucks dude. Did you finalize early? Either way you should let the community know who scammed you and what the details were. Maybe admin can help you?
-
Did you FE? If so chalk it up to you not reading the forums and following what has been said a thousand times to not FE.
If you are in escrow eventually you will get an option on your purchase to resolve and SR will step in.

i sent aomeone an e-mail transfer he accepted the funds now he says he didnt get them
-
it was my very first transaction on sr too i gave dude money a week ago still no bitcoins i have the bankin info provin he recieved funds
-
Well if you sent an email transfer then you went outside the security of SR, so there is nothing they can do for you.
-
Ok, still you should blow up dudes spot. What was his name so no one else does the same thing.

Again it sucks to hear about this type of shit. You definitely should have checked the forums first. There are a lot of legit btc vendors on SR, you just have to do a little research before you trust them with your money.
BTCKing has come through for me many times when a good deal comes up and i need btc quick. Hes 100% legit and its as simple as driving to a local bank and making a deposit. You dont even have to go inside the bank. I think hes got like over 1500 transactions all 5/5.
Sucks you got scammed bro. This place is the shit though so dont give up.

the 5 steps, for SR?
1. denial and Isolation - go into k-hole
2. anger - take meth
3. bargaining - while on cocaine
4. depression - maybe zoloft will help
5. acceptance - almost as calming as that last shot of heroin
;D

Lol, or just dont finalize early, do proper research on the forums, and only conduct business with established/trusted vendors.
I fucking love silkroad!

This sounds exactly like some other guy who was complaining he got ripped off by Warweed a couple weeks ago. Said he sent the money but in the end never produced any proof.
As far as I know, Warweed says right on his profile page now that he no longer does bitcoin transactions because of this very thing.
-
ya well i have proof that he took the funds from me i have my e bank statment sayin ur e transfer to warweed was complete that he accepeted the funds and after a couple days i asked him what was up he said that there were 4-5 ppl that didnt get there bitcoins that he was havin a problem and he would lookin into it then nothing my first transaction and i get ripped i can barely type let alone jump onna web site and start tellin lies about ppl what would i have to gain all i wanna do is buy a lil dope once i figure how to post the bank statment sayin he accepted the funds it will be up like i said im not computer savey is this what is waiting here for newcomers fuckin rippoffs like like warweed waitin to fuck
ppl over like i said all im tryn to do is spend money not fuckin give it away
-
In order to prove that you did in fact send the funds to Warweed and he did in fact receive them is to produce his bank account number. A statement showing that an interac transfer went through doesn't prove anything other than someone accepted the money.
If you are on the level, and you did in fact send the money, then you need to contact your bank and get a record of where the money went.
When exactly did this transfer take place?
-
i sent the money on the 9 th there is no way anyone else could have claimed the money there is a security question that is in place so i sent warweed a msg giving him the answer the next day i open my online bankin and it said ur e transfer has been accepted by warweed . i understand that this is only tellin me that the transfer was accepted but no one else new the security question besides him this was my first transaction and if he didnt take the money it just evaporated , i called the bank they said it went through like i said all i wanted to do was buy a few things live and learn i guess can anyone tell me a safe way to purchase coins a way were my ass id covered??? and thamks for the feedback

What brought you to contacting Warweed to purchase BTC?
I ask this because I know for a fact he does not have any listings for BTC transactions anymore, not for at least a couple of weeks.
I know this because I was looking for an alternate BTC source, and I recalled his profile saying he traded BTC. But he stopped trading BTC several weeks ago because he said it was too much of a hassle.
There is a long thread here with someone claiming exactly the same thing you are claiming. So I think you can understand that a lot of people are simply going to believe that you are the same person who has just opened a new forum account to once again raise shit.
I will tell you now that claiming Warweed has ripped you off and that your proof is you only gave him the secret password doesn't really hold any water. Pretty much anyone can use Photoshop to whip up a number of convincing screen shots and other documentation to prove just about anything.
The ONLY way you are going to prove anything to anyone is to provide the last four digits of the account number that the money went to. And the problem with that is not only would you have to somehow get the info certified, you would have to get Warweed to agree to do the same thing. All in all a rather complicated solution, but the only one that would provide any real proof.
Now, as far as a safe way to purchase BTC, it depends on where you live. If you are in Canada I would suggest using 'www.virtex.ca'. You can deposit cash to the RBC and it will credit your Virtex account. Then you simply trade your cash for BTC on their exchange and then transfer the BTC to your own wallet.
There are a number of somewhat trusted BTC vendors on SR as well, BTCBuddy, RXKing and a few others.
If you had done any research, you would know this. Which is why I am surprised that you somehow say you ended up going to Warweed who hasn't been doing any BTC trading for several weeks.
Even a cursory search of the forums would have turned up numerous threads discussing different BTC vendors and companies, including reviews and ratings.
If you are in fact telling the truth about the only thing I think you are going to be able to do is accept the loss and move on, as painful as that may be. The truth is, being a new user with a very low post count, your credibility isn't very high and you would end up fighting an uphill battle.

Hey if he can provide the last 4 digits of my account number I will personally walk into a bank with a video camera print out a statement on the ATM and show you it's not mine other then that the op whom I suspect is the same tard can fuck off
I have had strong words with this fellow already
Lastly I'm not bout to start another huge thread that's pretty much it other wise contact me on SR itself if need be
-
Oh and JoJo that's correct the only btc trades I have done since that listing was a few custom listings with repeat customers that I trust :) and aren't dick heads like this guy :) infact I just one for like 600 yesterday :) If I was gonna rip some one you'd think I would rip the Niger amounts not the smaller ones :s
Silly op your trix are for kids
-
that the op whom I suspect is the same tard can fuck off
It was the first thing that came to mind when I first read the post. If it is the same guy, I just don't understand what the fuck he hopes to get out of this. It seems like such a waste of time to me.
Do they hope to get hush money or something? All they have to do is read a few your posts or other like minded vendors to know they aren't getting shit out of it.
Complete waste of space.

ya thats my scam i go onto websites tryn to convince ppl they stole from me . do u fuckin hear urself ya im the tard i went to him for bits cuz at the time i went in under money in canada and warweed came up. me and him have been msging each other for 3 fuckin weeks o and i still have those msgs, i was waitin on some money and bein new i was just gettin a vendor on stand by so wen i got my funds i could buy bitcoins asap so i asked WARDICKHEAD if he could help he says yup any way i dont no who this other guy is u ripped but clearly u have done it before so warweed u can choke on my 175 bucks and this other guy here can choke on warweeds fukin dick enjoy the money u fuckin used book sales men fuckoff

bro with all do respect you need to stay out of matters you don't even understand.
#1 you have NO IDEA what an email money transfer is obviously. The funds are sent through **EMAIL ONLY.** no account information is ever exchanged from buyer to scammer, and that's why warweed used this instead of a normal bank transfer.
A secret question and password needs to be ANSWERED by the receiver of funds. then the money is automatically transferred into their account. so when you get a notification that you have been sent funds. you need to type in a password that you and the sender agreed on. to get the funds. Get it? if not the funds never leave the senders account.
#2 banks WILL NEVER give out account information to a third party without the account holders permission. ANY INFORMATION. They can verify that the funds were received by the email that you sent it to. but they WILL NEVER give you ANY information about another person account. its against the privacy act. THIS IS A BANK FOR GOD SAKES.
#3 what are you talking about I never proved it? I uploaded a bloody video of me signing into my online banking account SHOWING the payments.... I stopped posting in the forums because it was getting me no where. I'm working with SR admin right now.
#4 this goes out to OP, I just finished going through this with the forum and I can tell you this is the wrong route to go. Message DPR (http://dkn255hz262ypmii.onion/index.php?action=profile;u=1). Be calm, and be honest about EVERYTHING. Show him all of your proof.
Sorry for your loss though homie, he scammed me out of 300 dollars so I know how you feel.
The community just honestly doesn't care it feels like. They really don't. Don't use a vendor to get Bitcoins. Some forum member gave me the company "caVirtex", Google them up for sure, if you can send an email money transfer, you can easily get bitcoins from these guys. Really simple procedure.
anyways warweed will be banned shortly. if you ask me it wasn't even worth it. warweed is a sad welfare bum. needs to scam kids online just to pay his bills because he failed in life. HAHAHAH, fuckin loser. go back to school you stupid fuck.
wait you're too dumb...
-
Hey I don't got reason to scam anyone homie but w.e like I said this is pointless and if DPR wants to contact me he can
As for the OP if you wanna try and scam and threaten me which I have full record of I will catch the next flight to your town which starts with a D by the way come to your house which has to do with a body of water ...
And smack the fucking retard right out of you like I said I'm one of the best fucking e trackers there is an I didn't really give a shit at first but now this is irritating me and I will take the time to make a example out of you for my self and other vendors that were not going to be taking advantage of be nice I have friends in the area so it's not even a waste of a trip btw get rid of that little white well on your front yard it's ugly as shit

Sorry to say, but I do know what the fuck I am talking about. I have been involved in just such a transaction. I have literally been in contact with Interac Support. I was given the the bank transfer number and the account number so that my bank could verify that the money was intended for the final recipient.
Certainly they won't give out information to someone just calling up the bank and asking, but when the sending half of an EMT is looking to verify the person who received the money is in fact the person they intended it to be, there is much more leeway allowed.
And as has been mentioned on the forums more than once, any half competent hacker could put together a fake online banking session. And once again, all it would show is the EMT and the email address it was sent to.
But, as other people have mentioned, this is really just a waste of time and it's time to move on to other things.
Email transfers are not meant to be private transactions. You cannot hide behind the email address. Some banks will even hold the transfer if the email address used to receive money looks like a business address, since Interac Email Transfers are not meant for business use, they are meant for personal use only. I was told this directly by someone at Interac.
Now maybe you live somewhere they use something different than Interac Email Transfers, where you can hide behind the email address, but not where I live.
