Everyone who ever tried buying anabolic steroids through
different websites, knows it's highly risky. There are many people who take
money and falsely promise the supply of steroids - they are known as "scammers".
There is also a second category of scammers, where they send fake (bad) products
which look same as originals to an untrained eye. Scammers normally work in
anabolic discussion groups on the Internet where they use an
e-mail address for orders OR they can set up a small websites
offering steroids. Below is an example of some of the possible scams you must be
aware:
1. The first category are people who call themselves the
source checkers. It basically means they do everything to look genuine and offer
a list of "good" suppliers. The emails or websites they give you, are ofcourse
their own and used only to get your money. At the very
moment, highly popular steroid forums in the USA are actually run by a group of
professional scammers, working together through 2-3 websites (some UK forums are
also infiltrated). All we can say is to stay away from so called encyclopedias,
websites selling e-books with proven steroid sources, paid services with access
to member areas with sources, etc... Never trust anyone who calls
themselves a "source checker", even if they are nice and try to build trust. It
is the biggest con in the steroid Internet world.
2. The second popular technique scammers use, is to publish
some kind of scammer lists. Such lists are often manipulated by non-proven
sources to look legit. Many websites have appeared 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 each and
every scammer list found online, you will find real scammers and also 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, which makes such lists even more unserious
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.
3. More modern scammers use different websites (online shops) selling steroids.
You can identify which website is usually a scam by following:
- It may look unprofessional and without shopping cart system
- When you try to make a contact, you receive no answer
- They do not have any fraud prevention system (accept any customer...)
- They ship to any location worldwide, even if payed by credit card
- Website does not contain any "terms of use" regarding legal issues
- They never accept credit card payments, only WU, bank, e-gold...
- Prices are unusually low, same as black market, even if ordering only 1 small
1ml vial with worldwide delivery.
For example, our website uses online order status tracking, live chat support
and we can accept secure credit card payments. We have a highly developed fraud
detection system with customers black list. We ship only to low-risk countries
in which we have years of experience. We have a policy where the price for
individual products is decreased when order amount is increased. (actually, with
bulk orders, you will pay the price similar to that on the black market).
4. Surfing the net, you will come across certain e-zines or websites claiming to
be experts in the world of steroids. They claim to be associated with all kinds
of wonderful people in the hard core bodybuilding world. They usually have a
nice website containing detailed profiles of each steroid and sell a so called
steroid bible or a members area access containing steroid reviews, photos,
sources, etc... Don't trust every steroid website or "steroid guru" you find
online, claiming to be connected and all knowing. Even if they give you advices,
they are most probably amateur bodybuilders and hangers on who want to sell a
subscription to you.
5. The last group of people we would like to point out are those who use an
extortion in order to put a good legit source on the scammer lists. Fortunately
this is rare but this creature does occasionally rear his ugly head. They are
often known as reverse scammers. The scammer "buyer" threatens to put the source
on a scammer list unless the source sends the products he ordered. Ofcourse, the
guy has never ordered or paid for the products, so it's an extortion. Another
variation is when someone uses a credit card for payment and when they receive
the products, they go to the bank and request a chargeback, and at the same time
send emails to the supplier they didn't receive anything and posting them to the
scammers lists. We take several measures to prevent this. First, we have a large
database of people who tried this with us - after one chargeback request, we
will ban that customer and not allow him to order from us anymore. Furthermore,
we will send complete order info to the bank, revealing what was ordered and
where, from which IP and on which name, meaning this individual may get into
legal problems. We know it may be drastic, but we need some kind of protection
against scammer buyers and through years, it has clearly shown to be an
effective one.
Please note: The list is note made by us, we just forward. We personally know
some of these companys listed below (because we have been in this biz for a long
time now), and some are not correct! and marked with (NO SCAMMERS!), Maybe there
are more that is wrongly noted, but this we dont know.
Reported Steroid Scammers List
The list below contains people who have been reported as a scammer. A scammer is
someone who posts as a steroid supplier, only to steal your money. Many get away
with this, however, there have been individuals who have been tracked down.
Unfortunately, scamming is a big part of online steroids. There are so many
scammers reported to us today buy our customers, it is very sad that
bodybuilders are targeted by them. When a scammer sees his name on a scammer
list, he can easily create a new identity and start scamming again. A lot of the
scammer websites below are still in business scamming away, so
even if you don't decide to order from us be sure to check the scammer list
below to see if your vendors name/website is on the list. If you take a look at
the list below you will understand how important the service we provide is. One
thing the websites all have in common is that they will have high minimum order
requirments like $150, $200 some even have $500 minimum orders. If you see this
run, a legit vendor will want to earn your business and not have any minimum
order. You will never have to worry about getting scammed.
