The Spore Works RIPPED ME OFF
    #28038163 - 11/07/22 12:48 PM (1 year, 2 months ago)

Very new to  Cultivation. Tried some spores from Mushly.com and was VERY happy with them.  Decided to branch out and try The Spore works.  I placed an order at 10:06 AM today. They have you place order online then call to give payment info over the phone. By 11:30 AM a charge for $562 had been made on my card at a site called seatgeeks.com. I do not give out my card info willie nilly, and very recently got a new card number so I'm 100% sure the dousche bag customer service Ahole stole my info. I checked them out before hand. I guess I'm a dip shit....anyway... called my bank, they can't do anything until it posts tomorrow. Owner of The Spore Works is supposed to be calling me. Will update weather or not they make it "right"


Update:

Not dead yall still here! I got an email back from seatgeeks saying they'd look into it further etc. I replied and said I could only ..."hope the individual who stole my info gets explosive diarrhea and subsequent hemorrhoids."
They responded again but really couldn't tell me anything aside from the fact that they cancelled the A-holes order in time to prevent said A-hole from benefiting. My bank refunded me as soon as it posted, changed my card #, and I learned a valuable lesson. Sporeworks did nothing but say "this isn't our fault, our employees don't need to do this they make lots of money, and we couldn't possibly be responsible because we delete your info right after processing" 😏

Only place I've ever ordered spores, been with them sine '04, never once had an issue.  If anything, last time they gave me a free syringe.

Do you swipe your card at gas pumps?  That would be a quick turnaround from pump to fraud, but it ain't the works dude.

I do not pay at the pump with my debit card. Also I just got this card replaced last week. I work as an xray tech and got too close to an MRI scanner and, surprise! - it stopped working.

I thought it gave me a bad feeling to have to give card info over the phone... should have listened to my gut.

Their customer service people work from home so if you give card info over the phone they can easily write it down. I'm damn near certain that's what happened 🤷♀️

Hate to trash a reputable company... if they make it right I will definitely update.

No. I spoke to 3 of their customer service people. Last one told me an owner was going to call me all while insisting it was their "card processing company"... newwwp it was your crappy employee who stole $562 from a single mom of 3 🤨

Yeah, I find it extremely unlikely that this had anything to do with the Sporeworks transaction. Or if it did, it's some security breach that they had nothing to do with. These motherfuckers who do this shit are on the grind full-time, looking for ways to exploit cracks in the system. Meanwhile, the rest of us are out here playing the odds, whether we realize it or not.

Either that, or we're all in on it here, creating this whole elaborate website and message board just to string folks like OP along.

What I find fascinating is the whole chargeback process. People without a lot of money are generally going to notice some shit like this and get the charges reversed. Is there some way a hacker can get a payout before that happens? Or is this whole model of criminality based on the few rich/distracted people out there who never catch the charges in time?

This also got me thinking about the word "rip-off." In the time and place I grew up, it tended to denote an overpriced thing, basically synonymous with price gauging. I gradually noticed a bleed-over, via the phrase "getting ripped off," into the idea of receiving less than what was promised, or an item of lesser value than agreed upon, or nothing at all. I'm starting to realize that there are regional and perhaps generational differences in how this phrase is used. Were I inclined to believe that Sporeworks had stolen money from my account in a totally separate and unauthorized transaction, I believe I'd be most likely to describe that as them stealing from me, or robbing me of money. And yet, I've also heard people from other parts of the country describe my initial definition of a rip-off as being "robbed." Which typically implies, to me, some degree of force or subterfuge beyond just taking the money and bailing.

Oh yeah, by the way, I'm no mod or anything, but this all seems to come pretty close to breaking the rules. You're not really supposed to talk about vendors in mush cult, and certainly not mention using a specific company's spores for anything beyond microscopy.

Posting a picture of the front and back of the card could help us troubleshoot.

:rollsafe:


In all seriousness, I’m really sorry that happened to you.
SW support has always been super cool. You should note however, that you CANNOT mention cultivation when discussing a purchase from a vendor.

I only bring it up because you state how new you are in your OP.

Best of luck, friend.

I'm just upset because I feel like further steps should be taken by the company to trace this incident. If they really are such a wonderful 5 star company, they'll take some kind of action and make it right.

Are you sure you called the right number? And are you sure you were on Sporeworks.com and not a phishing website copy?

No worries friend, we all learn as we go.
But to clarify, even outside of the forum rules here, you should know that SW explicitly sells only for microscopy only.
While speaking with them, if you mention any possible use other than microscopic study or collection, they will not honor any refund or anything else. Transaction over, all expenses forfeited. They will not be party to any discussion of activity involving their products that would break the law.

Don’t get yourself cut off from their ability/willingness to help by saying anything about cult.

I ordered from spore works a week ago, sent cash in the mail and received my spores in a couple days. That was my 2nd order ever from them, no problems. The cc info over the phone was too sketchy for me.

I've ordered from them twice and given my card info. No problem whatsoever. I hope you get your money returned.
I'm having a problem with a different overseas vendor. They won't refund a double payment.
Good luck.

I've ordered from them for years, 20+ transactions and never had an issue. They actually have stellar customer service and have gone above and beyond for me and I'm a prick when it comes to dealing with people.  Are you sure that your card wasn't already compromised somewhere else?

I only order spores from websites that use Zelle, or Google Pay.

I never use websites that want me to put in my number directly.

No disrespect to Spore Works or websites that don't have these services. Just personal preference. 


Try Mushroom Man Myc wesbite next time, they have good customer service.

I order mines from Grumpy Gills. Great service, Google Pay and they give you bonus spores.

I know I'm just one data point, but I've been a 'Works customer for a literal decade at this point (first purchase was in early 2012) and I've never had trouble. The only "problem" I've ever had was a king oyster culture syringe that got so chunky in the mail it wouldn't dispense, and they replaced it for me no charge.

But either way, I hope you get your trouble sorted out painlessly. I've had a card sniffed in the past and it was quite annoying, though my bank reversed the charges easily enough.

I'd be shocked if a well established company with such a fantastic reputation, who already has to operate in a very 'gray' legal zone stole your card information. The last thing they want is a reason for anyone to look at them. They do just fine on their own making their money because of their top tier products, not scamming people. I hope this gets resolved quickly and that you get your hard earned cash back, but I also wish you had 100% positive proof instead of a hunch that it was sporeworks before attempting to drag their good name though the mud on a public forum.

Seatgeek is a venue for resell tickets. I’ll be one of the many people on here vouching for spore works. They are top notch when it comes to customer service and getting really clean spore syringes. Only person I actually ordered from due to there outstanding decades of service.  You probably fell for a phishing scam

Bigfoot I am not saying the company itself stole from me or that the site is involved in scamming.

The customer service rep who works for the company, who took my card info over the phone wrote my card info down and then used it at seatgeeks.com.

I believe the company is reputable as many people have said they've used them for years with zero problems.

However, any company that would allow a customer service rep to steal from a customer and not make it right they're not such a fantastic company.

I understand people's skepticism being that this happened with a company that's got a good reputation, but I assure you it did.  I didn't fall for a phishing scam, it wasn't a dupe website, The Spore Works representative stole my money. To make matters worse I was told a supervisor would be calling me and they did not.

Again, I genuinely hope this gets sorted out quickly. But, it's not sporeworks.

Sucks this happened to you but for what it's worth, ordering spores with cash or money order is the way to go. No payment processor BS, No card numbers, and plausible deniability.

traven - ive lived in two parts of the US. in florida a rip off means a shit deal. in hawaii it means a theft

regarding the issue at hand, ive only ever bought spores from the company in question. ive always given my card over the phone, they have always treated me well, and if i ever again get the itch to do some microscopy they will be my first stop

however, to be fair to OP, companies hire humans. as of yet we cant be sure that a new employee didnt go rogue. i hope all of this is resolved, and will be looking forward to an update

Sucks that happened, hopefully the bank gets you sorted out quickly.

The customer service rep who works for the company, who took my card info over the phone wrote my card info down and then used it at seatgeeks.com.





It may be weeks or months before a stolen card number is used for purchases. 
Maybe you're right and it was the phone rep, it takes all kinds, but someone cashing out stolen cards with tickets probably wouldn't immediately use a card they personally stole directly from a customer at their legitimate job.

That was my very first thought. But OP was insistent that the card was too new.

Shouldn’t this thread be in the sponsor forum and not in Mush Cult?

In sponsors forum or simply closed IMO. No update for OP.

Would it be legit to assume he realized SW had nothing do to with it and never came back to tell us? Just a though 💭

Think you’re jumping the gun a little here.


Shit happens, at least give them a reasonable amount of time to figure out what happened and respond.

Thought it was weird giving them the cc over the phone but really it makes more sense to me than using a portal that is easier to trace.

Was my first transaction with them and had my study material in 4 days over a holiday as well

It’s difficult and expensive to take credit cards for businesses classified as “high risk” like spores.

Pretty sure they’re just getting the number over the phone and putting into square or something like that to circumvent the bullshit.

4 or 5 orders in the past 3 years without any issue. Quality every time. Sorry this happened to you, I'd put money that they aren't any part of what happened.

ya dont matter cc company takes care of it. all sw can do is keep an eye out and fire employee. happens eventually to everyone. would see if can call seat geek and get info about tickets purchased tho may help debunk if was worker or not but could always sell ur # on the darknet too.
