A Good Source will never Solicate Sales via PM's

[Snooze]

Just a heads up, a good source will never solicate sales through private messages.
If it sounds too good to be true, more than likely there will be problems.
You get what you pay for.

I got a PM from some alleged postcard saleman smearing theZ man and saying he was that and then some. He directed me to vipbodybuilding board and you look for him in the classified section. Seemed all his bumps were guys with low posts and then i seen him hijack another postcard salemans thread. a low class act no good saleman would use.

Reputation is key. you seen something new thats looks too good to be true and you dive in. then realize it wasnt what you expected. back in the day new guys had to front to build a good name. Dont expect to see that anymore so the only thing that is going to give you the best judgement is reputation and the reputation of those backing that person.

It burns my ass to read some of these posts dealing with some postcard sales people. i been around awhile and i can see it coming but newbies cant and learn the hard way.

I got the same exact PM. I went to the little "Classified" section over there and checked things out. I saw his list - it had just about EVERYTHING and seemed to good to be true for domestic. He was very quick and eager to respond to my email. Then I saw another guy's smaller list. I emailed the other guy to feel things out and he came off abrasive asking me for references basically saying "I don't know you". It occurred to me that anyone actively going out looking for business like this guy did - it's most likely BAD NEWS. And the $300 minimum kept me very skeptical.

I actually signed up on thesourcecheck to see if he was on there - and he wasn't. And I'm pretty sure that anyone with that big of a list and that good of prices would definitely be on there being reviewed if they were legit.

Guys could you let the moderators know when this happens?

The sponsors pay for the right to advertise on this site.

New guys are unaware of scammer tactics and will lose money to these scavengers.

Just pm any of us and will do our best to eradicate them.

Thank you.

Just to clarify a little, I think it shoud be limited to non-sponsers should not solict via pm. I've received sponsor pm's for specials and I personally feel that is appropriate. I'm just afraid the headline may give the wrong idea.

Good point

I receive sponsor PM's about sales, like synetek etc, and only products legal for purchase in my country.

As Big A stated in a previous thread, no one on this board is to recommend or cohearse anyone to do anything illegal in their respective countries.

I realize it's sneaky, but if he is a legit source with better prices than some of our sponsors for the same product, why is he a bad person? You're making it seem like he is a scammer, which i dont think he is. He ***************************************************,

 

[njpooldude]

the non sponsors are PM'ing members to advertise for free... thats what is NOT cool...

this site is for guys and gals like u and me( guys lol) to learn the sport FOR FREE not for postcard salesmen to get free clients... if i paid to advertise my business here and you were doing it behind big a's back for free id be pist

I never said the word scammer. I said a sneak.
And do I realy need to explain why thats not allowed

well i seen how scammers work before i say this guy is MOST likely a scammer. Even if he was legit would you want to do business with someone so reckless? think.
