Itā€™s 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.

Take a look at all those donations in the first post in this threadā€¦ Unreal if trueā€¦ Very sad.

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.

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.

ā€œAnotherā€ 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, Iā€™ve 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, youā€™re local to me if I remember correct, canā€™t 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

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 heā€™d send me thank you seeds I never asked for and not follow through with this. Iā€™m not personally bummed out but it does give me a sour taste. I havenā€™t even personally been following this really. I just sent tape to help out. Sounds like all this shittery needs corrected! Iā€™ll do my best to get with other donors and other solid folks to do some sort of giveaway. Iā€™m also doing my damnedest to create something from nothing for all you orange lovers. Trouble donā€™t last always, gang. Plenty of reasons to smile. Iā€™ll have to go back through and get caught up.

Edited to add: damn thatā€™s a lot of seeds to run off with. You canā€™t even grow all of those in a timely fashion. Perhaps we shouldnā€™t allow folks to host giveaways they donā€™t 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 didnā€™t have the resources to begin with. Really sucks, but I guess itā€™ll teach us all here now. Ultimately it sucks to suck and Iā€™m glad Iā€™m 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.

Iā€™m 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 whatā€™s 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. Canā€™t 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.
