hey guys

my first post here thou ive been reading for a while......sadly its a post about a scam website that took my $$$$$ so just letting you good folk know so that you dont fall for it as well

he has a good selection but if i had thought about it that should have made me suspicious as he has abundant supplies of seeds everyone else is sold out of

i paid one week ago and have been getting BS off of him ever since regarding tracking number

firstly he said they were "busy"......then he said i needed to be "more patient" and now he is saying they are having trouble with their "shipping company"

so i messaged them as another buyer this morning asking how quickly my seeds would be sent upon payment and he said "24hrs"......so i asked him why im still waiting after a week letting him then know im the guy he scammed and that i will be posting on the forums about his site, so he says he wont respond to blackmail....lol

ive now found a thread on this joker from last year with another buyer they ripped off so i should have paid a bit more attention.......he sent that guy a message telling him if he doesnt remove the post he will kill him.....lol

but never mind you live and learn

if you go onto the site you will be greeted by tristan keegan.......he will send you a friendly email asking for payment to a paypal address [email protected]........and then once you have done that there will be silence.....lol

They did me the exact same way but PayPal refunded my money an I was able to report that account. I did the exact same thing bro, it just happened to me too but good news is PayPal probably will refund you. He told me not to send it as good a service , I should have knew he was fake then. I hate scammers , like go get a fucking job.

problem other people might have is worrying about their bank or paypal finding out they were buying seeds

i think that is what he relies on when it comes to keeping hold of peoples $$$$$

i know its not illegal to buy seeds......but some people might not want their bank knowing their business

I have only ever had to filed one chargeback in the past and not from a seedbank/something like this but I do not remember ever having to even mention the item. It was all the transaction this and item that, seller this but not specifics, I'm sure this could be different that was years ago. but everyone will have to decide this for themselves if in this position, the risk/reward or I guess risk/reclaim and if it's worth it

you are as you mentioned completely legal as far as purchasing them.

yeah i am legally entitled to buy them......but even so i dont want them knowing my business

im just going to ring paypal as an anonymous person and let them know that a particular account is fraudulent and also give them the website name

hopefully once i mention weed is involved they will sniff him out and kick him out

never know they might even refund all of the payments sent to that paypal account....lol

They won’t refund anyone that doesn’t complain but I understand your choice not to identify yourself they will however have the call linked to your account if you call from a number associated with your account.. I’m a long time PayPal user..

also if you used PayPal you don’t need to file your chargeback through your bank you would complain to PayPal that nothing was received. But I get you not wanting to, just mentioning you have options

They will refund you and they won’t ask what you ordered. I explained to the PayPal worker that he told me to choose friends and family . I have screen shots an all but the PayPal lady knew the other guy was a scammer a refunded my money. I even asked the scammer guy why can I not ship with service and goods cause it’s cheaper . He replied in a email saying just follow directions. They will refund you tho if you complain.

I was going to respond to you the other day you kinda questioned if I was just one of the guys just trying to trash a Seedbank. I been shopping at different seeds banks an never been scammed until I ran into universalseedbank. I have bought trash seeds from seeds banks an didn’t go online an trash them. I literally joined the forums so I can let others know that the site was a scam. I almost got scammed for $381 with the shipping so yeah I chimed in on the convo and I have screenshots but there’s no need to post them. Others have already exposed him.

no I didn’t?
As I mentioned earlier in this thread (although someone deleted posts so now it looks out of context) @sunni (I don’t believe my post was against the forum rules?)
Those of us on RIU have known about the USB scammers since Nov 22..

I checked posts and I’ve never even replied to you specifically unless you are the one that posted on this thread saying we would come and say you’re wrong and they’re great in which case yes, I replied saying nope, we know they’re scammers
