Hi-

I recently asked a question about GH and many people pinged me. Somewhere I got details for this person @trtwarehouse29 on telegram. I am not exactly sure how I got connected to this person. I got scammed out if $225 on Telegram. He/she has this group on telegram - Pharma Gear Shop - image attached. He blocked me.

I was stupid to do this, I am dealing with being a moron, but wanted to warn anyone who is where I am, not sure how to get going as a beginner. Hopefully someone will see this and mot lose their money.

Sorry you got scammed. Any type of gear question will get you flooded with people looking to sell you whatever you want. Many or most are scammers. If they are not a sponsor of Muscle Mecca or some other reputable BB board you are part of, I would steer clear. Remember: If the price is too good to be true, it usually is.

Thanks, appreciated. The price was what got me, because they had primo for a similar price to napsgear but about $40 cheaper for what I wanted - that $40 cost me $225, so that was a stupid trade. I am new into this world, so putting it down to training fees. Now I have no idea where to go to, but connecting to someones WhatsApp/telegram I wont be doing any more. I think I would rather pay higher prices.

Anyway, thanks.

I actually just did a Google on the name trtwarehouse29 because he approached me in some weird group or comment. I was ready to pull the plug today and send him the %150 but just saw this post about him scamming people. he has a bunch of before after pics. My assumption he or she is from India Does anyone know a reputable person or agency to get gear from?

Just look here for sponsors. They will not scam you (most likely). They pay fee's here and build a reputation in the community...

Nobody scams here because they pay to be here and will get banned if they scam anyone.

Thanks. Are there any here that dont require Crypto? I actually had a real issue with pctzone with a crypto purchase, and ironically that was what induced me to seek an alternative path..I did get scammed then. I need to go through it a few times, but its a bit of a minefield

Pay close attention when dealing with sources and it's better to utilize the vetted sponsors here. Doublecheck the source's email address before you send orders or payment info!

That’s so true because someone was pretending to be from here before.

I believe TA fixed that issue and also sent out a warning to all the members. That guy was pretending to be from other forums too.

Most of the big ones have other payment methods.
