Newcomer Intro: Determined Not to Fall for a Scam Again!

That’s rough. Before I bought anything, I hung around a vendor’s discord for a whole month, just watching to figure out whether the conversation felt real or was mostly bots and shills—because like you noticed, that kind of thing is simple to fake.

It really is wild how many folks hit you up on discord claiming to be someone they're not. That said, this community is awesome. At the moment I'm digging into info about endo.

Were you completely scammed and got nothing at all?

It didn't take long for me to realize what was going on once I'd paid. Next thing I knew, they were hitting me up for absurd fees to ship internationally. Good thing the order I placed was a small one.

I got taken in by a scam as well!😔

That’s absolutely terrible! I feel so bad for you!!
 
What lessons did you pick up along the way when you got scammed? Are there warning signs we ought to watch for, plus things worth learning from it?

I'm still figuring things out! At first, I assumed that plenty of "followers", reviews, delivery photos and market-consistent pricing meant it was legit, but every one of those turned out to be a trick! A solid first step is looking into things here and in another trustworthy telegram group!

Hey all! It’s great to be part of this group! I spent more than a month doing what I thought was proper research, yet I still ended up getting scammed…everything appeared totally legit, from the hundreds of reviews, coa’s and “successful arrival” pics…so embarrassing! I’m here with humility so that never happens again!

Hearing that you went through that is rough. Once I moved to grey, I came across this forum — before that, I had no idea how frequently people lose money to scams run through WhatsApp groups.
 
Sorry that happened to you. I'm still a beginner when it comes to buying Grey. Because of this risk, I haven't made my first purchase yet. Hopefully this forum helps us all learn and make good buys.

I hung around a vendor's Discord server for a while, and everything seemed legit and polished.
