Scammed I think

[Tony]

Hi guys and girls.

New member trying to do due diligence after being scammed I think. I'm in northern NSW and I made a purchase online from a website that seems very legit but alas I think (pretty sure) I have been fleeced. Can anyone confirm if this site, apparently in Melbourne is Legit?

Should've known it was to good to be true. I was trying to buy some Indica seed, thought I'd buy an oz of something else while I was on there. Transfer money 7 days ago and now nothing. They keep blowing me off.

Yeah mate you got screwed.....weren't you concerned when they only have prices in USD and EU but claim to be inside Australia ?
Any site that you can just select to buy a pound in the options is not real especially in Australia , im sorry to tell you.

Damn.
Quick glance. A review from a Canadian. Don’t know why a Canadian would buy weed from Australia.

Due diligence would be to research before you are scammed out of your money. But yes, it is 100% a scam ...I mean it's illegal to sell cannabis unless prescribed by a doctor, so CLEARLY a scam .

But if you did do your due diligence, a quick google would show that there are plenty of web sites that tell you it's a scam...

I don't want to have a laugh at this dudes expense but a little common sense would of kept the money in his pocket.

Yep looks like you got fucked over.. just get on medical mate $192 for 30g of decent quality buds.

 

[Old fox]

Damn. This seemed to good to be true. I'll bet he claims to have 26 different strains on hand, that he can sell you pounds of them, from within Aus.

 

[Billygoat]

The .au domain could help track the scammer.

Correct I should've done my due diligence before. But I was in a hurry and stoned not a good combination. I did google but couldn't find any alarm bells. One google search said that the website appeared to be functioning normally and that they were running a SSL certificate. And he even offered me free postage as new customer. So he could have stung me for more. I should've just stuck with the seed order. Pretty pissed off at myself. I have plenty of Stativa seed but was looking for more variety for making FECO meds. Live and learn I guess.

How much did they sting ya for mate?

All good mate, we've all been had at some point ...fuck I nearly got run through with a 10" blade because I (stupidly) put my trust in a stranger. But if it's just money lost at the end of the day, then I say live and learn but then move on ...no point beating yourself up about it. Look at it as an education cost for the knowledge you have gained.

Stick around though and I'm sure someone will point you in the right direction ...for seeds that is, not bud (hopefully nobody here would be dumb enough to do that).

What Sativa are you growing/have grown? My space is more suited to indica hybrids, but there are a few members on here growing long flowering sativa strains (lucky bastards ) I'm sure they'd love to see your girls

Ok this is odd.
In a past life I was a gold bullion dealer and know this company well.

I have had nothing to do with the industry for well over a decade. But it jumped out at me as I used to deal with them all the time.

 

[Billygoat]

For roughly $10 you can get the name and address of the officeholders.

 

[Pikey]

Found this...

...and this.

And my security blocks his site [https://www.goldtoday.org/australianbullioncompany.shtml] as it's listed a known threat.

Interestingly this came up too

Hi Pikey yes you're correct I have been beating myself up about it. Thanks for the advice. I just need to let it go and learn from it. I have grown Mullumbimby Madness and a Dutch G13 strain. Unfortunately the seed I have stored have been mixed up. A Google search of the G13 depending on what you read it should be Indica dominant but as I said the few seeds I harvested are mixed with a hundred odd of MM. Need to germinate soon, pretty sure winter is over here. I will just have to wait and try again next season. Shit it might even be legal by then.
