Shroomery should list known scam sites.
    #5849082 - 07/11/06 10:37 PM (17 years, 8 months ago)

Why is it that the shroomery.com pretends to support shroomers, but does not post a clear and prominent list of repeat offending scam sites, such as shrooms.ca, which have ripped off so many members? There is no complete tek that does not include avoiding these sites first and foremost, and you should be ashamed not to include a list of well known scam sites in big bold letters on your home page.

Don't give me excuses. I know you just want others to suffer the way you did. That makes you no better.

AVOID THE KEEPER AT SHROOMS.CA at all costs. And if anyone knows where Jack is, I'm looking for him. I will find him. Oh yes. Just for some friendly intercourse, of course. Peaceful-like. I'm a big friendly jolly guy. I love to talk, talk, talk, talk, till red in the face. I want to talk to Jack. Maybe he will change is ways if somebody talks to him long enough, and if you guys stop avoiding the elephant.

FOLLOWUP: OK, I'll eat some crow. The spores arrived after only a little over a month, and the defective kit was at least reparable.

We are prominently displaying a list of reliable, trustful sites, namely our sponsors.

http://www.shroomery.org/sponsors.php

If anyone prefers to use other vendors, that's completely their choice.

Exactly my point. Read my post. Take some responsibility, show some leadership, have some spine. List well known scam sites clearly. It's a forum, so if anyone disagrees with a listing it's open for debate, right?

No need to list scam sites when perfectly legit sites are listed on this site. Stick with the sponsors and you wont get screwed :thumbup:  Try to take the easy way out, or the more "interestingly named" mushrooms before you do research is entirely up to you.

Ones that are not listed in the link above.
May not be reliable.
Certainly, some not listed are straight up rip offs.

Listing a site with "rip-off sites" would kind of make me mad as a sponsor b/c then these other BS sites will be getting free advertisement. You may think that some people may avoid a certain site after seeing that they have been disapproved by the shroomery but then some shroomery members will still use that rip-off site just to save a few bucks and then come crying back later. I will save everyone some trouble and go ahead and list the rip-off sites for you:

www.shrooms.ca
www.sporetradingpost.com
www.sporebank.com
www.universityscientific.com

There you have it - the scum of the Myco World.

There are a few more dastardly folk out there, but I won't mention them. I can't say it enough times, your best bet is to buy from sponsors here. If we don't perform we catch a lot of heat here from the customers, and If we catch enough, we won't be around long. I look at the vendors here, see how long they have been supporting the Shroomery, and figure they must be doing something right.

The Shroomery is the worlds most popular website in regards to mushroom growing. To have a list of a "rip off" site would be the best free advertising one could get.

The sponsors here pay a fee to advertise here.

It would be unfair to list sites that are supposedly bad. With that in mind, what constitutes a "rip off" site? One persons opinion against another?

I don't believe it is the job of The Shroomery to police the the world for unscrupulous vendors. The reason that The Shroomery gives the privedge to companies to advertise here is due to their outstanding service to the mushroom community, hence the reason why people have been saying that you should only buy from Shroomery vendors. The vendors here have all been tried, tested and passed.

free advertising???

how is it free advertising when its ADVERTISED as a rip-off/scam?

its only going to hurt their business

its not like people are going to say 'screw the vendor list, i'd rather take a chance with a site that shroomery says is bad!'

yeah right

From what I have seen here on the message board, most of the people that get ripped off by these a$#holes come here after they have already delt with them.

i would rather not have any link to them on this site. if you want to get burned, google for spores and pick someone without a proven track record of helping people. also, everytime google scans this MASSIVE site we call the shroomery, it will pick up links that we provide to shitty vendors. google doesnt care if we say the are shitty or not. they will just slowly start to creep up in the rankings.

Obviously , you haven't talked with anyone that had anything to do with Mycoshak .

Just because someone sends you to the Sponsor Forum , you still need to use your head . Unless it's a proven sponsor , you need to proceed with caution .

In my opinion there is no need of a list for the rip off.Like kilroy said, it is after the "shroomer" got stealed that they come here.I got ripped off by mycogrow like 3 years ago and they disapeared a couple month after I order.This website was looking really professional and everything,if there was a rip off section , I'm sure some people would still buy from them because they look honnest.They offer refund on the products if your'e not happy, answer your email in a short time... Thats why there is no need of a scam list, because its free advertising for those bitches.

One must take a closer look at this proposition, in which I agree with, coming from a person that got scammed before coming to shroomery...

one must put off the initial rejection of this idea in order to obtain a bigger picture of the idea

these are a few reasons

1. It will bring a BETTER reputation for shroomery, which is always better for the future (think of the progressive car insurance strategy, listing the prices of competitors, that SELLS!)(honesty sells)

2. It will bring MORE business IMO, people may still be shopping around looking for a supplier for mycology products. IME I was shopping around and I knew absolutely nothing about nothing.. I picked what at the moment seemed like the best, easiest kit that would grow the most (what did I know)
Furthermore the money that people lost in the scam site could have gone to a shroomery sponsor, hence MORE business. After this I was reluctant to EVEN buy anywhere else, skeptical about every site! I wish I could have found a reliable source for fake sponsors, it would have made my faith in shroomery even STRONGER..

3. Last, but not least, WBM... WORD BY MOUTH... It should be somewhere where EVERYBODY could see it... more WBM... more people will know, less people will buy off scammers... all the while shroomery will have an even better REP!~
