Silk Road forums

Again, I'm sorry that this happened.  :\

I wonder if we should change the title of this thread to warn people that Kwick Ficks is a scammer?

This guy took me for $440, buddy. @Scout; we can't edit feedback because we have to put the MP numbers in the Shipping info. He gets the shipping info and then cancels the transaction so we can't leave feedback .

crafty son of a bitch!  well, as i mentioned in your thread, i'm hoping this will be enough to prove that he is scamming people, and that he will be banned as a result.

why are you posting this in the Newbie subforum when you have over 100 posts?

Well, Mr.B08 had to wait over 72 hours before his ticket got worked. That isn't 48. Then, from what he tells me, the response he got was "you sent your money to an address that is not a SR address." So basically, he is SOL. He lost his money so don't tell me to relax. I am pissed. If you guys are having problems this bad....warn people before we try to send our money to a system that is BROKEN. Sure..it was just 50 bucks, but it was MY 50 bucks and I expect things to work as I am told they will.

So far, I've been told "don't worry..it's the tumbler" and don't worry your money will show up soon. Don't tell me to relax when I keep getting patronizing remarks and my money is still MIA.

One of two things is happening here. I have fucked up somewhere along the way and my money is gone (unlikely but admittedly a remote possibility) or SR is having problems they're not forthcoming about, which I find to be the more likely scenario.

I responded to your PM and was in no way patronizing you.  The fact remains that this is not currently a widespread issue - it is isolated, and as you yourself mentioned, the OP never received the btc because he accidentally sent his bitcoin to a non-SR bitcoin address.

SR is NOT having problems, so there's nothing to warn people about.  The system is not broken.  The OP's issue was due to a mistake on his part, or using the btc address of a phishing site.  Either way, it was not an issue with SR as they looked into it and found that the btc was sent to a wallet not belonging to the site.

If SR were having issues, there would be more people reporting it and an announcement would be made as soon as possible.  But that's not the case.

The OP lost his money because unfortunately he sent it to a non-SR wallet somewhere.

Another buyer came forward to report being scammed by this vendor.  I passed the info along to staff, so I would seriously hope this now qualifies as "enough" for them to shut down the asshole's account.

Yes:

Account --> View Feedback --> Edit

How depressing. 

Thanks for letting me know I'm not alone, though.  I've gone ahead and submitted reports on SR about the vendor and his listing. 

I hate having to do that.  I'm never the type to complain or get anybody in trouble, but it's my money and I feel like I just threw it down the toilet. 

I'm so sorry that you were scammed.    But it's good of you to report the vendor any way so hopefully others will be warned (and the vendor will be banned).  Did you also edit your feedback on the transaction to reflect that you were scammed?

I was trying to contact him to give him the benefit of the doubt.  Some optimistic part of me is hoping he'll reply and say, "Oh, oops!  Here are your BTC!"  and then all will be forgiven...

That would be nice indeed!  I don't think it'll happen though, because someone else has been waiting several days and has received absolutely nothing in spite of his MP being cashed immediately by the vendor.
