I'm out $1000 from trying to source gear, so I wanted to share my lessons learnt and experiences with you. I'll be brief but straight to details.
1. International
After a lot of research trying to find a trustworthy international source, I found one and made a small personal $300 order. Prices were good, and I saw mostly good things about them from reputable forum members. Being from Australia I knew the risk involved, but have been anxious to get my hands on some gainz so I tried them anyway. They shipped in two packages, one was the test-e and dbol, the other was the Nolvadex. As you probably guessed I was looking to start a pretty basic first cycle. Anyway, the nolvadex made it through, but the gear was seized by strict customs. There was three risks involved in this and after I placed the order I actually didn't have high hopes anyway. Firstly, whether or not it was a scam, then customs, then whether or not it was bunk or not. Sadly, I will never know.
2. Domestic
Next up, I found a discrete advertisement on Craigslist. We exchanged emails, and then texts and photos. He sent me some photos of the gear he had, but turns out it was just from 'gear porn' threads. I now can't express hard enough that if your buying from a new source and not meeting in person, to ask for a time-stamp of some kind. When they send you a photo, make sure they write a note in the photo so you can identify it's really his gear. After I sent him money by bank deposits, I never heard from him again. I assume his phone was prepaid/not on contact because he used viber. I'm not sure if I can get my money back but I'm $700. On the topic of this, is there any legal action I could risk-free take? Like legal aid to obtain his address from his bank and send him a letter of demand?
So that puts me at $1000 loss with no gear except for nolvadex...
Play it safe brahs and don't get scammed making the same mistake I did.
