Bodybuilding.com store discrimantion!

[The Wolf]

Ive placed an order to bodybuilding.com, I orderd pro tan, muscle juice and some trunks and minutes later they canceled my order. I checked my credit card and the money has gone through. When I contacted bodybuilding.com, they told me my money would be refunded in 2 working days and the reason they canceled the order is because they dont except credit cards from Turkey as their is alot of fraud there. They will only except secure payments.

That sucks man, I mean as if there aint fraudsters in the U.S or U.K.
Thats pissed me off man, and the thing is I dont think there is any other place where I can get those cheaper. Anybody recomend a website that can rival them?

[The Wolf]

Thanks bro, prices are almost the same. I was supposed to get a free t shirt with bodybuilding.com as well. Hopefully I will have better luck with musculardevelopment.
Anybosy else that knows good places to get tanning equipment?

 

[The Wolf]

Nah bro musculardevelopment wont even ship to Turkey, even worse than bodybuilding.com thanks anyway

I had the same problem with another site so I had to pay through paypal. I know Big A (and a lot of others on other sites) have talked about paypal scamming but I use my credit card with my paypal account and have had no problems, it was my only option so had to use it. BB.com com accepts my card though.

Oh wait, I remembered that I actually use paypal with bb.com as well.

 

[The Wolf]

I tried with paypal as well but still didnt work because paypal is not a secure order, bodybuilding.com only except secure orders from Turkey, ie western union, ect.

Its a total bummer, Im gonna go bed Im sick of searching for other stores, if I pay by western union I will pay an extra 15 or so. But after being told that they dont except credit cards from Turkey by the staff, I would rather shop elsewhere and pay a couple of bucks extra. So if any of you guys know of any, just let me know. Thanks

I've gotten my posing trunks from www.andreascahling.com

As for the other stuff, maybe try www.jantana.com

and

www.enutrition.com/ulmuju10lbch.html

There was another site I've seen before that had other stuff. I'll hunt for it and see what I can find.

Here's the other site:

Hope these help.

From my experience, this is where fake credit card orders come from:

UK (90%+) from there
Jordan/Turkey/Morocco/Spain

USA does a lot of PayPal fraud.

I lose over $10k/month to dodgy cards. But I have 'teams' in the US and UK that actually pay the scammers visits and they take whatever they can from their house if they have no cash.
The other countries, in co-operation with either Mastercard or VISA I contact the fraud divisions of their local law enforcement and they usually take care of that. I have had a few succesful prosecutions. LE loves to go after this kind of crime as it makes them look good.

I hate scammers and thieves.

Don't take it to heart Wolf, it's not personal that you got rejected.

i know all about them

USA is biggest place full of scammers then comes UK.
In uk they've put internet fraud legal until it reachs the specific amount, LE dont do anything until bank tells them to take action.
UK is very advanced in regard to bank transfer fraud. USA is big because 95% of stolen cards are from USA.
People sell those stolen cards for 1 or 2$ and UK one's for 3-5$ because they are rear.
Hackers hack shopping sites and then sell that stuff.

Its a really fuck, coz only 1 or 2 get their ass in jails and 98% keep on doing what they are doing.

To Turkey i think bodybuilding.com is afraid that you'll just chargeback and they'll be able to do nothing

Fraud is still Fraud over here, illegial whatever the amount, but liability for losses changes responsibilities (e.g. bank or card owners or insurers) depending on the amount, so loads of beurocracy happens until someone decides, if at all, to call the police.

Over here identity fraud is a big issue, not many people take appropriate steps to avoid it (even just cancelling your cards if you can't find you wallet, not waiting 3 weeks until you eventually decide its lost), or leave details lying around to be found and used. Lots of eastern european organised crime centres around this trade here.

That and we have more than our fair share of asses.
