Thread: How to determine if a source is a good source!

That's why forums like this are awesome, we share info with each other as a method of prevention and to educate each other. There are a lot of scammers, some intentionally, some by mistake, as they just don't have the skill-set and experience it takes to be a quality source. Some people may feel like they know someone based on good post and communication because they are a good judge of character, but that doesn't mean the gear is quality. So ask the questions, do your DD, It is worth the scrutiny and the time that it takes.
If we don't ask we should not be surprised when money is stolen, painful injections, redness, swelling, major PIP and other infection like symptoms are the trend.

Testimonies are priceless and the source will want you to read those testimonies he sponsored with a board veteran, that is if he has invested in his business like he wants us to do.

Thank you for the support BOP

Exactly, that's why we should stick together and make it harder, not easier for scammers. Ive seen great labs turn to shit and also rip everyone off and run away with there money. So, a "do nothing measure" is your choice of prevention and your answer to being ripped off? ok, to each his own...I am always placing small orders with many labs all the time.do you think taking multiple chances with multiple labs is smarter than sticking to one quality lab? I dont care if one of my guys start making bunk shit or runs off why not, being ripped off really blows and is costly becuase i have 5 or 6 other i know are gtg and i trust If you trust them and they are gtg, why not stay loyal to them since they treat you well?.Anyone who has been in teh game for a while knows that sooner or later you will get burned it happens theres nothing you can do about it. the possibility to be burned is exactly why preventive DD is smart, it lessens the odds of being ripped off in a short amount of time Im not trying to be a dick but man up and place an order lol thats all i can say. you said a lot more than that "Sofargone" If we have a scammer on this board tonight and he reads your creative measures of prevention you will end the search for his next victim. I can assure of that.

I'm not a dick either, I am just replying to what you wrote I could say more, but it's unnecessary...

We all don't think alike so thanks for sharing your thoughts friend

Thanks brother After reading many posts this was an opportunity to give something back. The forums are breeding grounds for knowledge, guidance and direction. We are all wanting the same basic things, when we pull together we can do anything we put in front of us to do. Getting rid of scammers on our single website can be achieved. Especially as private as BOP is.
If we use a protocol, keep a process moving forward it can de-weeds the garden so to speak

lol, no apology necessary Text has a way of making things sound different than face 2 face would, perception is reality and we're just having a conversation as far as I'm concerned. Nothing harsh going on here man.

My philosophy is not the only way, it's my way and so far it works for me with excellent results. I have been the route of asking around, it isn't good enough for me. I have been burned once, I trashed 400+ml in one fail swoop, from listening to "trusted individuals that had my best intentions in mind and to give me the best advice, except it wasn't"

Quality sources are eager and proud to speak about what sets them apart. The ones I use are happy to provide labs, spectrometer tests, a ton of reviews, a strong following, detailed logs, their experience, pics of people after cycles, etc... after all that, there are still no 100% guarantees but the odds are now stacked in your favor big time and you are informed from the horses mouth, let your gut tell lead you from there.

"Good guys pointing you in the right direction, Overfilled jugs, Cheap Prices, TA times and being a great guy via internet posts" on their own merit do not qualify a source for me. Case and point: any body can be that, look what just happened here. However, those things are fantastic in addition to the other things I mention, but do not warrant a purchase, imo. You may consider that's why you've been "burned, received short packs, under dosed gear, total bunk shit and completely robbed" a number of times per your last post.

We contact sources for 1 reason to develop a mutual respected B2B relationship. They want cash, we want good gear. Our relationship doesn't exist without this fundamental fact. It is based on what we both deem profitable, aka it has to be a win/win for it to work for each party involved. So in short, you and I can agree to disagree, that's ok. It is all a risk, to be evaluated by each individual anyway.
