I actually went back and read the wiki, lol. I forgot all about this. He was on OG 2 days ago. No posts since all this happened though.
Another snake in the grass is the assumption now.
Have the donors heard anything ?? @misterbee @Bobgrows @yardgrazer @DirtySlowToes @Movement13 @TestOfOath @Kasper0909 @BIGJ
@Sailorboy anyone heard anything??
Nothingā¦
Another scam I presume we were all taken, again! Starting to become a thing lately!
Itās a bit worrying when such things happen and people lose trustā¦especially having our addys and not being able to delete it from the PM.
How much you end up losing again?
Take a look at all those donations in the first post in this threadā¦ Unreal if trueā¦ Very sad.
Faith and trust which is very valuable IMO!
Everything else is replaceable.
Itās so sad :(( the community in here is usually so trusting and kind itās sad people get used like this aināt it
It sure is!
But there are some really good people here that make up for the scammers and bullies. They are found out in time.
Hard to put a like on that 1ā¦ thatās some bullshit to say the leastā¦ itās like they knew each otherā¦ because the timing was similarā¦ pathetic individuals for sure
I could have sent all 195 out with 2 dank doodles each by now. Send me all that shit next year, rest assured everyone would have them April 1st.
Sorry you guys got hosed. I hope he leaves a seed in his pocket and a landrace sativa flowers up his ass for 22 weeks. Then I hope it gets mites and pm at week 20.
āAnotherā scammer? Has this been a frequent thing lately? I never really knew Kami that well but trust most OG members that have been around for a while, I reached out to him when I saw there was a giveaway and donated to it cause, ya know, its OG and stuff, Overgrow the World, Iāve always and consistently been about all of it.
But apparently I need to start watching my backā¦ Will be vetting more seriously from here on out.
Edit: hey @misterbee let me know if you need help recovering from the loss of all of those seeds brother
@Bobgrows I got a roll of filament for you if you need it, youāre local to me if I remember correct, canāt replace the printing time but its better than nothing
@Kasper0909 @Gadarien @Sailorboy @JustANobody @DirtySlowToes @Movement13 @sober @IKEA22 @yardgrazer Free seeds for you guys if you want em as some form of condolences for the shit show
āIāve Passed This Way Before!!!ā āOnce bitten, twice shyā is how I choose to deal with this situation. I certainly 'preciate the concern, indeed. SS/BWā¦mister
Kind of you. But Iām ok. You are close to me.
Appreciate the offer, yeah there seems to be a grey cloud over us right now, but that to will pass. I appreciate the offer but youāve hooked me up pretty good already so Iām goodā¦ thanks for the offer!
Oh this is weird.
@Kami posted about a massive giveaway. I sent homie $13 of tape. He sent me 3 packs of seed which I gave away. Mostly in @Rhai88 s thread. Weird that heād send me thank you seeds I never asked for and not follow through with this. Iām not personally bummed out but it does give me a sour taste. I havenāt even personally been following this really. I just sent tape to help out. Sounds like all this shittery needs corrected! Iāll do my best to get with other donors and other solid folks to do some sort of giveaway. Iām also doing my damnedest to create something from nothing for all you orange lovers. Trouble donāt last always, gang. Plenty of reasons to smile. Iāll have to go back through and get caught up.
Edited to add: damn thatās a lot of seeds to run off with. You canāt even grow all of those in a timely fashion. Perhaps we shouldnāt allow folks to host giveaways they donāt have the resources for. Or if you want help or reimbursement, you should get it AFTER folks have received a large percent of your commitment. It really sucks to see two folks ask for help and then back. Explains why they didnāt have the resources to begin with. Really sucks, but I guess itāll teach us all here now. Ultimately it sucks to suck and Iām glad Iām here with you cool kids and the turtlenecks really do seem to see themselves out eventually. Damn. Sorry everyone that contributed limited seeds. Wish I had an extra 2000 seeds for everyone.
Iām sorry I opened this topic up again. Wherever there are good people there will be someone to prey on them. Wolves in sheeps clothing. OG has cultivated a great community of people who do what is honestly an obsurd amount of work to ensure everyone here has an opportunity to obtain top shelf genetics and knowledge.
We will always be at risk of people looking to take advantage of our good nature. We cant allow that to sully our communities welcoming disposition. I know this place will heal and all who are at a loss will regain it in some way. Allthough the world gives me many reasons to not believe in karma I do. Everyone gets whatās coming to them eventually.
I thought that Kami was just overwhelmed but it has been too long now.
We definitely need more protection. There is nowhere to post about scammers because they just report the posts. Canāt go back and edit old messages to delete addresses. Just seems like the site could have more options to protect us.
I agree that there could be more things in place but overall these things are at our own risk. OG is a forum, not a market. We come here to meet people. Sometimes we want to trade, just like out in the wild you can get robbed or ripped off. Everyone needs to protect themselves. OG has no obligation to monitor or oversee any trades or deals. The fact they put in time to investigate these matters and act at all is above what most places would do.
