Title: Scammer Alert: ImportConnection
Post by: abcdefg on May 23, 2013, 09:14 pm
Just wanted to point out that the new vendor ImportConnection is clearly a scammer. Notice that all the feedback is typed in the same style (a lot of exclamation points, certain words in all caps, smiley faces, praising the vendor like he is jesus) and all from the last day or so. No new vendor gets that much business within 6 days of signing up on SR. 100% scammer and unfortunately it looks like at least 1 person finalized early. Any vendor who has every drug imaginable at lower than average prices who requires FE is always gonna be scammer. If it looks too good to be true then it is (especially on SR)

lets not forget looking at vendor date and turnaround time for the drugs.  He has been a Vendor for 7 days and has 24 sales.  all arriving in past 4 days.  Now he does not have any express options.  This is improbable.  Especially if you know the USPS system as well as I do, no way they got there that quick. LOL. I Call scam  god find abcd

i was going to post this too. did a search and found this thread. all fe'ing, member here 8 days, 44 transaction and super low prices.  Why all the fe'ing from a vendor 8 days old? abnd usually a big list is a dead giveaway too.

Ok So I ordered from ImportConnection.  I put in the address box (in PGP) contact me for my address.  This is the message I got.

My package was marked in transit NOT SURE HOW THAT IS YOU DO NOT HAVE MY ADDRESS

ImportConnection    Thank you for your order wraithe!

If you can FE it would be of great help to us. It is not required, just a courtesy. We are largely a consignment operation and therefore would like to get our bitcoins cashed out as quickly as possible. If you can help, we will offer a 10% bonus on your next order plus we will include in your current order two free samples of any of our listed items (with the exception of oxycodone pills).

Much love,
Import Connection

You'd think they probably paid quite a bit for that scam attempt, what with all the self-buys and that. Silly fucks.
