People don't want to hear that they are going to get scammed. They look at low, low prices and get greedy.
One time I warned another user directly in the forum, before he bought, against a vendor selling 'discounted bitcoins', 20% under the market price. I warned him that no one would sell bitcoins under the going rate, and he replied to me in a basically angry way, saying that some vendors just have excess BTC they need to get rid of. The next day he was back on the forums complaining that he had been scammed.
So I understand the lack of remorse those people getting scammed. Some have been told time and time again. Some of them get scammed repeatedly, and even fail to make a single successful transaction. I think most of the time it results from the greed of wanting a deal that is too good to be true.
This will probably earn me a few more neg k but fuck it.
The wave on entitlement from many new SR users is palpable, they arrive onto the forums after posting their 50 spam posts thinking they know it all and they are resistant to any efforts to guide and steer them in safer directions. If I had a BTC for every online stouch over an issue like FE where a buyer is whinging about being scammed because they FE'd and never got their order and then have the bare faced nerve to blame SR and the admins for their bad choices I would be rich man.
Why reading and educating ones self before buying illegal substances over the internet is such a chore for so many blows my fucking mind.
