Is it true that all sites on eroids are scams?

Mmk. Well, I think I should share this story since this is a proper non-censored board.

Beginning last week, I wanted to test one of eRoids' top ranked sources and see what happened. So I create a minimum order. I am sent an order confirmation with payment instructions. I email them back with a few questions about some other products carried. I never get a response.

Anyway, I have the payment sent within the proper time period and wait to see what happens (I tripple checked everything.). When I go to check my order status the following day, the order has been canceled. So I check the payment and it hasn't been picked up ( I even called the service to verify everything is correct.). Naturally, I email the source to find out whats up. I also go to their review page and pm their rep. I wait 2 days with no response. I check the payment and still no pick up. So then I post in their source discussion forum under the main reps handle that I've received no response to my order. I still get nothing.

I'm reading on their source discussion forum how fast and great they are with their communication bla bla bla.. But, I read like 4 other people stating same as me, at the same time, and that they are not being responded about their canceled order. Other than "The source emails can't get through to you. Get a new provider."

Now I know this isn't Walmart and people get busy, you see their rep ignore your post and several others. These guys were having the same issues and the rep continues grab-assing with their cronies, not addressing any of us.

Something funny I noticed after I placed my order is that on their source discussion forum, they seem to have the same 6-7 guys posting everyday allll day a bunch of grab-ass garbage. With stuff like, "Oh man, I can't wait till you restock! I'm buying everything!". "Oh snap, just got my shit in!" "When you going to get some more of this? It's fire!" Also, there is a ton of nobodies hyping up the source and their product.

At this point, my money still has yet to be received, I've never been responded to (and still haven't). It looks to me like something isn't right and if they don't have my money then fuck it, I'll go somewhere else. So I leave a fairly direct post that I know will get some attention for LOL's.

Well, my short and sweet post did exactly what I wanted and got me lots of attention [:o)]. I just called out a few people for diluting the discussion page with garbage. I refrained from any threats, hints, name calling, nothing foul. Apparently, this src has 2 reps. The one I never tried PMing exploded on me, along with all his cronies. Like instantly. They instantly were all online on the discussion page within 5 minutes. Imagine that. I even tried to apologize and smooth things over a bit and nobody was having it, :D. The source went ballistic on me and as far as saying he's going to have me blacklisted from the top 20 sources on eRoids etc. I never responded to him with anger or hate.

I'd like to add that during the number of threats I received. I was told that the reason I never received a response was because their servers are only able to email certain providers. Maybe... Is that why they instantly can send me an order invoice?

I thought this would be a kinda funny to share with you guys since it's current and on topic. I'm sure there are a number of red flags I overlooked or I could be totally wrong in my actions. I am not dropping the source name because I was never ripped off, but wanted to share my experience with them. I don't see why I should continue to pursue their business if it looks this sketchy. I know I could have kept PMing these source reps on eRoids and been more patent. I see this as just a noobish learning experience and maybe this happened for good reason. I'm still perplex on why the funds were never picked up. You guys are more than welcome to have as much fun with this as wanted or beat me with some wisdom. ;)


I think I remember you! SI threads are not what counts so yes your gonna find people just joking and chatting, the reviews are what counts. What SI thread was it that i seen you in?
 
Board vets usually do receive legit product - because they are vets and presumably hold some sway over the newer members. It's the junior members that are the real target for sources to make sales to - simply because they vastly exceed vets in numbers. So, the vet receives the product, it tests well and he gives it his seal of approval. The junior menbers, seeing the respected vet give a positive review, feel secure in using the source and the orders start rolling in. It's at this point the unscrupulous sources start sending under-dosed or bunk gear. It's the old "bait-and-switch," if you will. Complaints from junior members are typically written off by the mods as "just some dumb noob" and they get banned from the board.

Another thing to keep in mind with these open source boards is the type of person the lasts long enough to attain "vet" status, by their very nature, will toe-the-line and not ruffle any feathers. Otherwise, they would have been banned long before. Even when a source does turn scammer, you'll rarely see the vets join the feeding frenzy. It's always the junior members rising up that forces the mods to remove the source, while the vets sit around looking like they just got caught jerking-off.





If the board wanted to protect the source enough to delete your posts, you won't be PMing anybody because you'll be banned. Vet or Not. The only loyalty in this racket is to money.





If you're smart, you can take an educated gamble. Because that's what it is - a gamble. The best advise for everybody that's contemplating ordering from online sources is to do your research and don't send more money than you can afford to lose.

This^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^is why I rarely promote any sources.
 
I think I remember you! SI threads are not what counts so yes your gonna find people just joking and chatting, the reviews are what counts. What SI thread was it that i seen you in?
and to add to this, what source on eroids has 2 reps? what are their names? only a few are allowed one REP but NONE are allowed 2 so who is this?
 
by what sources if you dont mind me asking?

This is bullshit right here!!! You already know what sources are scamming over at your own board. Even if he does tell you the source, you don't care. You will probably say some such thing as go write a review and how you hate scamming sources.

So now you have one honest review out of a whole sea of made up reviews written by reps, fanboys, and noobs that have never used gear that are just happy getting a package. Not to mention, I think the sources pay people to make up fake accounts to write those damn reviews.

I agree with a previous poster that said Eroids = BS.

I've heard of this phenomenon!!!! I thought it was just a myth!!?!? I believe these dishonest vermin are called "SHILLS"?!?!?!
 
domestic is much better plus rarely do you have to sign for it, 10 days turn around max and good sources should deliver in 5

Is this your professional opinion? 5 days? Why is that, exactly? I know wonderful sources that have been in business for 10plus yrs that are layered and have a TA of 10-14 days after funds are received.
I'm going to copy and paste your post(with your permission, of course) to show these dinosaurs what's cracking these days with the new guys. They need to snap to it!

well mainly because on eroids their competing for a rank so most sources try to keep shipping times minimal so that part of their review will be favorable. I would say if your happy with the dinosaur then stick with him, nothing better then a source that has weathered many storms and still in the game.

you are right I do know which ones are scamming, right next to their name it says confirmed scam, I figured you where smart enough to see the sign and reviews and order from someone that had atleast some decent reviews.

as for reviews? well theres only about 5 sources on eroids allowed to have REPs and that means they have to be there where the operation is, not internet buddies. Also REPs are not allowed to leave reviews for the source they REP for so if you could please show me where this has happened I would love to tear into their ass....Fan Boys? well what can I say there every fucking where and I cant stand them but they are allowed to leave 1 review for every purchase so not much I can do about that.....And NOOBs? Son of a bitch theres LOTS of these guys, we have tried our best to design a review format that will make them answer questions so that a vet can read the review and decipher if the guy has experience or not. there is also karma to look at as alot of vets will have a much higher karma due to their knowledge.....So my initial question still stands, what 2 sources burned you?

you are lucky you didn't get your money taken. You did learn a valuable lesson without losing money(unlike me)--eroids is total bullshit. Mods cover for ripoffs, no negative reviews are allowed, abusive shills proliferate and if you say one word back or tell the truth about the fake ass sources there you are banned. The top sources are paid for admittedly, the rankings have nothing to do with quality it is who pays. There are some good sources there by chance but not top ranked. Complete scam yes, eroids is as real as professional wrestling.

This is interesting? LOL I dont know where to start? where does this information come from? I have never covered for a rip off, actually I have personally removed sources for burning people, taken them from the ranks because packs are late. you can go there now and on almost every page of reviews find a bad one and with some sources it may be every other review. hell I got fake gear twice in about a 3 month period and left reviews and pictures (and this was recently)....source arent allowed to pay for anything, (hard to believe I know) they get no special privilege but I would love to hear how you figured all this out. ive been there for several years and been a part of the site administration, im aware of some of the ways it was and the way it is now. Theres never been a time when any of what you are saying has been true.

This is it, right here. That was an especially good point about a lot of the guys on open source boards that have vet status.... Its all about going with whatever the person above you is going with. Vet status on a lot of boards means nothing to me at all, just means you suck a lot of dick.

Prime example- The Ironlifter situation. A guy that was an Admin there bought the board, and almost immediately banned the former owner for scamming. Of course all the mods and Admins that had been licking his nuts for the last few years jumped on the former owner, as if they had no idea what had been happening..... Its sickening.

What are your thoughts about the Big D situation? I watched some of that unfold, I'm not sure what to think.
