Title: fake/poor quality soma
Post by: caliblue on August 19, 2013, 10:28 pm
I received some soma on here that I think is either fake or poor quality. Unfortunately, I FE'd because I thought I had to (as a fairly new user). The soma is Indian made, no imprints, in blister packs. Some of the pills are crumbling inside the blister packs. It does nothing for me and I had a friend try it as well. He was going to buy some of it off me but said no thanks, that's not normal soma.

I informed the vendor that I thought it was fake and he said that it's impossible that it's fake because nobody else has complained. He's obviously buying it on the black market from India so I don't think it's impossible that some of it is fake, or the quality is just terrible (very diluted).

If the vendor refuses to respond to my request and even give me a partial refund, am I right to go and change my feedback? And publish his name on here? I haven't had any other problems with other purchases and I don't want to ruin my reputation on SR, but I always wasted about .5BTC on this.

You are free to change your feedback to whatever you consider reflects your experience.

What are others posting on the forums? name the vendor and see if anyone else has had a similar experience.

I don't see any comments about him at all. He has good ratings so I don't think he intentionally sold me fake stuff. I offered to send him a video of me flushing the rest of the pills down the toilet to show him I'm not trying to scam him. I don't know what else to do to prove I'm unhappy with the quality.

Just because the Indian stuff looks weird doesn't mean it's not effective. I have ordered many items from Indian pharmacies and they have all been top notch. I even sell some, but I sell USA Somas so if you need then I have them.

Sorry, I didn't mean to imply I'm prejudiced against Indian-made medication. I think it's just more likely some bad ones got slipped in. The vendor told me he bought tons of it so how does he know some of it isn't counterfeit?

I didn't even know it was Indian until I realized it was having no effect on me and I checked out the label closely. I even took a few at once and nothing happened except I got a slight headache. With normal soma, I would be on the floor if I took more than one! And my friend tried it too and said he felt nothing.

Check out this thread - this seems fairly similar to what I experienced - the headache, quick dissolve, etc:

All you can do at this stage given you have finalized the order is ask the vendor for a refund/reship and/or share your experience on these forums.
