Hella Dank Vibes JUST GOT BETTER 2

I have a strong feeling we were right about Asante (who I have no quarry with) getting scammed a second time via someone stating they needed funds for a child's emergency surgery. The thread was deleted and all posts wiped, I don't know when it was deleted, however after checking for an update I found it so.
I think that, despite being a right of any shareholder of the site to delete threads for any reason, exposing scams online is a better course of action. Many people are scammed out of their hard-earned money by professionals who know how to manipulate people and systems well.
After being taken for 30k USD in BTC by a german investment banker (who I had done a legitimate 15k worth in transactions before over multiple months) I learned the hard way that you can't trust *anyone* with that kind of money without some sort of escrow system or extensive risk management. When I brought a claim to Chase they froze everything in my business account and told me they sided with the german wench who scammed me out of a decent chunk of change. It took me about four months to receive a fraction of the money in my account, two months after that they released the rest. I never got back the 30k in cash she took from me.
She was and presumably is a professional scammer, and if she can break through human and automated security set up by Chase and my currency trading business (decommissioned), she could fuck you out of your money as well.
This exists on DNM as well, vendors scam people all the time. I would put money on over a hundred members here getting scammed by DNM vendors.
I'm only starting a thread to a) find out what happened b) tell people that online scams are highly prevalent, and professionals/victims come from all walks of life. You might not think you're vulnerable, but that is inaccurate.

I agree, we should work to expose scams which people may not be aware of.
One thing I've thought about is to avoid "free samples" from vendors with low trust levels, even high trust levels, where they claim to send you something in which you just pay the postage (which is typically something like $5-$10).
Typically, the alleged package never arrives and because it was a "free" sample, you shouldn't expect any sort of refund and they want you to FE.
It seems like a cheap nickel-and-dime selective scam scheme, so be aware.

No, that's actually not the case. My perfectly positive topic was getting shat on from all sides by the usual suspects so I thought, fuck this whole mess the Pub has become, fuck this negative, misfortune gloating, insult smearing scum piece of our demographic in particular, I'm going to delete this thread and just hop over to another community, one that DOES celebrate with me in times of joy and who supports me in times of hardship.
You know, an online community that doesn't shit on me rain or shine and who doesn't bomb the crap out of my efforts to share good vibes.
Here's my deletion notice:
Quote:
This thread was moved from The Pub.
Reason: Shrooms turn shit into food for the soul. You guys turn food for the soul into shit.
I'm going to be happy some place else 
And that's the moody version of what I did.
People were rejoicing at the prospect that I possibly had been scammed again. Let that sink in for a moment.

Stop acting like a child. I don't think there's anyone on the shroomery that actually wants to see you make these kinds of life mistakes. Maybe take it for what it is - constructive criticism - rather than take the comments as combative attacks on your person. Remember the time burke tried to offer you advice the last time this happened? you went immediately on the defensive and took it as trolling when the opposite was true. The truth can be difficult to stomach sometimes, but maybe it's time to start accepting things for what they really are.

I didn't see a single post in your earlier thread that would merit anyone being called 'scum'. You're blowing this way out of proportion just because fellow shroomerites didn't all jump in the bubble bath with you. It really does seem like a scam. I mean, you haven't even described how you know for sure that it isn't a scam... so you can't blame anyone for warning you or trying to caution you against going in hook line and sinker.
Unless you have conclusive evidence that it was not, in fact, a scam.

maybe 'relishing' would be more apt a description.
you're all taking Asante's point too seriously, which is funny.
