This is a shame, as it breeds a sense of distrust amongst all users.

Not saying this user is or isn't a scammer, but I just have to keep playing the broken record of don't buy anything. When it comes to trusting advice or accepting emotional support, we can't let these things get in the way. I don't need to give you my address or bank details for you to make me feel a bit better each day.

The username was Rachel74 and she has been banned.

Wow very surprised to read this but I noticed her account had a strike thru it before coming to this thread so guessed that's who it was... be careful folks.. makes me afraid to get close to anyone here or even share my story.. I was PMd a very strange message tonight but it's by an account I dont know and dont recall seeing on the forum before.. will see where that one leads too as I may be misinterpreting it...

was it trying to sell something?

 

[trynacbt]

Awful to hear this SS is a place that brings so much comfort--makes sense in some way that it would be easy to scam others on here...

 

[LonelyLight]

Nope not at all, just a very snide comment out of nowhere..

This is true. Even if there is no malicious intent things can go sour.

 

[RitaM]

Rachel? Really? Wow!

I can lend you some of my slightly entertaining pictures to fire back at them if you want?

Now that I would very much appreciate!

 

[Jean4]

Rachel? Really? Wow!

My thoughts precisely. I'm trying to wrap my head around this one.

 

[BleedingHeart]

can you delete your screenshot message as it has an email address and I don't know if it is B's real one?

If it is, and I must admit I am totally shocked as I thought it was a good member, just goes to show what I am trying to say over the past few days.

DON'T SHARE PERSONAL DETAILS OR BUY ANYTHING FROM ANOTHER MEMBER

@Stan this is frightening not only that perhaps this person was trying to sell but that people here *might* be intentionally spreading misinformation. Scary to think in what should be a safe place for the suffering. :( as if many of us aren't already terrified to CTB.

 

[RitaM]

I must admit, I read her thread on lithium and raised an eyebrow.

i always believe that information should be questioned or double checked using a search engine. Ironically as I post a lot about SN, I am not writing the gospel of St Stan. If it helps, great, if not, then ignore it. Because of this we shouldn't close ourselves down and stop sharing. Just need to move on and remember what not to do, even if it looks like it could solve all your problems.

 

[Idorus]

Great work Mud. Let it be an example for all. Many scammers wouldn't get a chance on this board if we would follow Mud in being so alert and making it public. And yes, among them also well established members.

I must admit, I read her thread on lithium and raised an eyebrow.

Yes, her likes and sharings make even more sense now.

 

[I'm un a mess]

Completely disgusting from him do that and now do the police will arrest him for selling and misleading other people to suicide ? I don't think so they would prefer arrest the depressed person than scammers like him

 

[Johnnythefox]

There's been many scammers on here, even since before I arrived. Some users have been too embarrassed to come forward for fear of looking foolish.

 

[toomuchgrief]

I didn't read that lithium thread at all, can you give a summary on what Rachel person wrote that make you raised your eyebrow? Thanks Ms. RitaM

 

[Lefty]

Wow, always be cautious and always do your research. Speaking of which, I got a PM from a member asking if he could get him a supplement from my country, since it is no longer sold in his country. He said he would pay for it, but I'm iffy. He might geuine, but you never know. If I'm supposed I can report it to a mod if its not allowed. I'm even more iffy now especially after reading this thread.

As much as you want to help, I repeat, sharing details is dangerous for a number of reasons. Whatever the story, whatever the reason never give them out.

I can't share details yet, but this is not the only type of scam out there, and I mean selling N

Its nearly the perfect crime. Its not as if you can go to the police. "Hello officer I would like to report a crime. I have been scammed whilst trying to buy an illegal drug to commit suicide..."

I'm not going to name names, obviously. For all I know, he could be legit. I'm just saying this thread has made me even more cautious now.

It just struck me as a bit odd. Something about lithium making her really sick. There was nothing wrong with the post as such, but the way it was worded didn't ring true to me. Then a few days later he/she is supposedly in hospital from an accidental sleeping pill overdose. Just seemed very unlikely and OTT. I mean, accidentally taking a couple of extra zolpidem doesn't land you in a British hospital bed. I thought about it when his/her name came up on this thread.

 

[Stan]

They will just get a new account and start again.

 

[Lokd26]

So sad to see someone trying to take advantage of people here! Honestly kinda ticked off by it. But hopefully it's a lesson learned for everyone.

 

[Lethe]

Wow, Rach was a scammer? Who woulda thunk?

 

[smirlap]

They will just get a new account and start again.

Sick people...
Investing such time and energy to lie, trick and scam fragile people.
All turn around money in this fk world though

 

[MeltingHeart]

I can honestly 100% say that I know now for sure what happened and that there was confusion with regards to what was being sold. I'd never say this if I didn't believe this from the bottom of my heart. This person didn't deserve to be persecuted the way they were and I am getting product from them. Please know I am giving my complete unbiased opinion and I'm one that could be effected most out of everyone. It was a mistake with not understanding the drug differences and what they had. They only had a certain amount of the real stuff and it's now gone. So please everyone know that there was innocence here. They also self banned because they were being harassed by someone non stop and there's no way to block on here. This was brought up to the admins as well. So anyways. That's the story just so everyone can calm down.

yr getting product from them? yeah but sounds like a few people were gonna be, isnt that the point? sorry just dont understand

 

[RitaM]

Should people selling stuff really be on here anyway? It's not suicide eBay. Perhaps this is OK in the rules but it seems wrong to me.

 

[Stan]

Message me if you want to know deets

You should do it in open forum, you told me the details and to be honest it made it look worse to me.
