SEED SCAMMER ALERT!

Post by KD »

Hey guys...

On the 20th of November I placed an order for some CBD Auto seeds from a site that looked legit for Advanced Seeds. After receiving an email to confirm payment, I didn't receive any seeds so I emailed them to ask if they can tell me what's happening... No reply. Sent another email explaining I'm concerned by the fact they didn't reply to my last mail and I got no seeds... Still no reply.

Their Instagram link goes nowhere but they took the money from my account anyway.

So... I went looking for more info and found an email address through my PayPal payment to a different company name. After emailing this company, asking why my payment went to them but I received no seeds, I got a reply saying they'll send me the tracking number as soon as they get it. That was 03/01/22

Today I got a mail saying they've found my tracking number and thank you for your patience so I checked the tracking number was working and got this...

They only sent the seeds on 04/01/22

I'm pretty sure if I hadn't found this email address and contacted them, I wouldn't have received anything at all and I still don't think I'm getting what I ordered as they never asked for any order number or any other info and the site associated with this order is not the Advanced Seeds site.

Be careful out there ✌️

I've got 180 days from Nov 20th to make a claim so if that tracking thing doesn't move for a week, I'll do that.

I hope it works out for you, mate. I think it's always best to use a sponsor. That way you shouldn't get burnt.

Never give advice. Wise men don't need advice. Fools won't take it.

That puts a limit on my selection but I do understand your point. Think I'll use ABSeedy or LSC from now on.

I used one of the sponsors recently. Everything gave the impression that seeds would be delivered from within the UK. They came from Spain.

I wanted to order more and sent them an email. I received an automated reply saying that they were closed atm and won't open till the 4th.

I had chosen 2 packs of 3 seeds, but came with a lot of freebies. One extra seed per pack, plus 6 seeds of another strain, 2 other seeds, plus a freebie from another breeder. They were still in my cart up until 20 minutes ago when I thought I'd see what 5 pack seeds do. There were no freebies. So, I went back and added the 3 packs to the cart and wait for my reply from them. Lost all of the extra seeds. I don't know now if I want to buy them now. Pissed me right off.

That sucks man. Did you maybe catch the end of an offer? Which sponsor was it cause I'd rather order from Spain if possible.

It was more thank likely the end of an offer. It was a shame the site was on holiday when it happened.

The Vault was the sponsor.
Be careful of any purchase from Mainland Europe. Anything over £135 is liable for extra charges due to BREXIT.

If you use them, PM me first as I have a code that you can use to get 15% off.
