Hey all,

It's been roughly 14 weeks since I began Trz. A friend told me about it, I kept hearing recent success stories, so I figured why not try. Amazing is an understatement. My starting weight was 233lbs, and right now I'm at 196lbs. I went the telehealth route at first, then somehow I wandered into the pep world and realized there's a lot more that caught my attention. Forums, telegram, whatsapp, and all that stuff are pretty new to me...I'm picking it up as I go. With this being my 5th rodeo, lol, I've been scammed 4 times now, needless to say. Apparently I prefer learning the hard way, and I didn't research enough. This is my first time posting in ANY forum, and I'm hoping to learn more about everything. I checked out the vendor section, but now I'm (what's the right word - scared?) to try another transaction. Anyway, maybe thats for another thread section. Maybe I'll run into some of ya's around here somewhere.

Peace N Luv, Yall

I just joined as well, and I went through the same thing with being ripped off before. It's good that people here can share whether their package shows up and whether it's correct. Spend a bit of time exploring the other forums that cover the topics you're interested in. I've already picked up useful details from others checking out peptides for comparable issues, and even more so whether any negative responses come up.
 
Yesterday I came very close to being scammed.

I was browsing a vendor's thread over in the Vendor Connection area. After going through several reviews for that same vendor in their dedicated Vendor Reviews thread, and after noticing they scored reasonably well on one of the public vendor testing ranking sites, I figured I'd take a chance on them.

In that vendor's Vendor Connection post, they had posted links to both their Discord and their Telegram channel. I clicked the Discord invite and joined. The moment I got into the Discord, a friend request came in from somebody who appeared to be a rep for that vendor's Discord. They began asking about my fitness goals and similar topics. For the first 5 minutes, I honestly believed I was talking to an actual rep.

If there's one thing I'm good at, it's following directions. The vendor's post here stated plainly that orders should be placed on their website, so while the "rep" was asking what I wanted, I was simultaneously completing an order through the website. They then instructed me to send payment to a bitcoin address, but by that point I was already checking out on the website.

I sent my bitcoin to the address that the website gave me. Right around then I mentioned to the "rep" that I was already paying on the website. That's when they showed their true colors. His tone shifted, after being perfectly friendly until then, and that's how I knew. I blocked him right after.

The only reason they nearly got me is that roughly an hour earlier, I had placed an order with a different vendor that was handled through a rep on telegram. But in that case, the telegram link was posted ON their website, so that's who I opened the chat with, and it played out much the same way it did with the other "rep".

I believe I read this here. I think it's pinned at the top of one of these forums, "don't send money to people that contact YOU first."

@4.5MPG, I'd be interested in hearing how you got scammed.

I just joined too. While I haven't personally been ripped off, it's easy to picture how someone could be.

Safety is what worries me most. My goal is to link up with a group so we can test a batch of Reta together. The people I know who sell it don't have any unique sources, and if I'm going to buy grey market medication, I'd prefer to be hands-on with the testing.

It's wild that getting medicine to improve your health is this difficult.

In any case, glad to be here!
 
I'm paying over the odds compared with people here, because I order through a US-based 3rd party vendor whose website takes non-crypto payment. Going to have a lot of learning to do! 🥴

Yeah, things can definitely get confusing—especially when you belong to several groups and scammers pose as legitimate vendors. I appreciate you telling your story.

This was a great walkthrough of what you went through, and it really helps me see things more clearly. I appreciate you laying out step by step how that whole thing unfolded. I haven't placed my first large order yet, and hardly anyone spells out the way those predators work as clearly as you did. Hope your package shows up with top-tier purity and a strong concentration!

Appreciate it.

My approach was deliberate: I placed a few "small" purchases through separate vendors. Since these were my initial buys, I figured losing a "small" sum to a scam wouldn't be a big deal. Each one ran roughly $150-$200, I believe. After I find a supplier I'm happy with, my plan is to keep buying from that same one.

The real issue comes down to scam sites — they're everywhere, and I'm completely in the dark about how to steer clear of them.
