Who are steroid scammers?
People who take money and falsely promise the supply of
goods are known as "scammers". Other steroid
scammer types send fake gear or clones.
Steroid scammers work largely in anabolic discussion groups
on the Internet.
They pick off the novice who places an advert for the supply
of anabolic steroids.
Here is an example of some of the scams you must be aware of
when you are seeking out a source.
The Source Checker Scammer
Any one who sets themselves up as a source checker is a
scammer.
There is one of these con men working in two well know
discussion groups at this very moment. He uses the email
address of the discussion group to make it look like he is
authorized.
To further demonstrate his resourcefulness he now has set
himself up as a "UK steroid source checker to the
USA" ! "What a great guy", we hear you say!
Using his own time to help the "bro's" of
bodybuilding. (yes and he will likely call you
"bro" ) When you ask this particular "source
checker" about a source he sends you to his 2nd mail
address where there is a "really good bro" ready
to help you.
Yes it is the same guy!
This particular scammer is now a moderator on a USA
steroid discussion group (yes that one) and he has
infiltrated a well known UK group also (yes that one).
Lesson:
NEVER deal with or trust anyone who calls
themselves a "source checker". It is the biggest
con game in the steroid Internet world.
The Scammer List Con
We seldom publish the ID of scammers unless we are 100%
sure that they are culpable . Lists are notoriously bent
since they are often manipulated by unscrupulous sources to
further their ends.
It is notable that many sites have emerged selling
steroids and also hosting scammer lists. The scammer list
has now become the tool of the crooked source and the
scammers themselves to discredit their competition.
On the scammer lists we find genuine scammers and genuine
good and reliable sources. The names of good operators are
submitted to these lists by bitter rivals. Anyone can submit
a name to these lists and there are no rules or requirements
of proof.
Lesson:
Scammer lists are not serious documents.
NEVER use scammer lists as a reference point to check out
your supplier.
They will be full of the best sources in the business
submitted by small time scammers , con artistes or
unscrupulous rivals.
Steroid bibles
Certain e-zine merchants have popped up on the web
claiming to be experts ( gurus ) in steroids.
They claim to be associated with all kinds of wonderful
people in the hard core bodybuilding world.
They invariably have a few things to sell (usually a steroid
bible).
This is a case of someone with some pratical knowledge
paying someone to publish a manual and then flogging it on
the web. (No you won't find it in Waterstones).
Sticking a needle in yourself and pumping iron however, does
not qualify you as a steroid "guru".
Lesson:
Don't trust every "steroid guru" that you find out there and get sucked in with e-zine merchants claiming to be
connected and all knowing.
They are mostly amateur bodybuilders and hangers on who want
to sell a subscription to you by preaching some unique and
unfounded point of view. When you sign up to these merchants
you will be spammed with e mails full of worthless,
misleading and dangerous comments.
Scammer "buyers"
Fortunately this is rare but this creature does
occasionally rear his ugly head.
Often known as reverse scammers.
It works this way. The scammer "buyer" threatens
to put the source on a scammer list unless the source sends
the products he ordered.
(Note our reverence of this list above!!)
There is a little oversight here however. The scammer
"buyer" has never ordered or paid for the
products!
It is an extortion.
There are a number of variations here but they are always
perpetrated by a youth with a low IQ and some dysfunctional
personality problem.
Lesson:
If you are a source and you get pestered by this kind of
brat then don't bother returning his mail. Just put it on
block instantly and get on with answering the genuine
clients. Hopefully the chump will give up the computer and
go back to watching cartoons on his portable TV. |
