+ 67 Fake Votes, My investigation of crooked sources!

ad

upon my arrival, after many a day off, I found myself confronted with a great opportunity. It wasnt the first time it had happened, but back when the board was in its infancy it was expected. Sources would do just about anything for a vote and review and many of them where votes made by the source themselves. I spoke with BFG about it a couple times back then, and while it seemed like it was unbreakable there was some changes being made. Fast forward some time and the board has had a facelift or two and things are much more in control, it appears there is some no-nonsense MODs and some quality sources in the rankings, reviews look much better then they ever have and for the most part there is a high success rate of packs and happy customers.

So why am I being asked if I want some free gear if id be willing to review and vote?

Like a member who actually cares about the integrity of the ranking system and the value of not having to just "hope" that the money I just sent off will actually get me a pack and it will be real. If you have been around here long enough you know what I mean. So I took my concerns to BFG and talked to him once again about the ranking, voting, and review system. And i had an idea.

So I was given permission to do the job. I sent out friend requests to the top 50 sources and made them an offer. it looked like this

"Hey Boss, ive been on this site for some time and seen it go through a lot of transformations. its pretty clear that whether sources are allowed to buy votes or not thats what the promos are for. Myself, My cousin, and two of my partners local to me are all long time members here on eroids with several hundred karma points each. All are different IPs with no way to trace us as a group. If you are interested in a trade we would be willing to give you 4 well written reviews, on any compounds you would like, for $200 in trade shipped. Im from the old school and operate on good faith and a mans word so we are willing to leave 2 reviews and votes prior to receiving products and 2 reviews and votes after. If you agree then ill tell you who the second voter will be, and after products land ill tell you who the 3rd and 4th will be. Just in case you decide to go the MODs im not gonna group us all together until deal is done. pretty simple and straight forward, if your not interested no worries there is plenty of sources to go around. you can hit back on my email too."

This is clearly illegal, cant trade products for votes and surely me leaving two reviews before even getting anything to review would have to be fake.

Alot of sources didnt even respond to my PM, or email.

some sources didnt even accept my friend request

  • AAndro
  • MPpharma
  • Alvgear
  • UKanabolics
  • Domestic X
  • UKfitness
  • Tyrant

And some sources told me to fuck off, Kudos to these sources

  • Double G
  • Northern trust
  • Ashop who said no way the MODs would dick throat him LOL
  • 56too who really pretty much told me to fuck off LOL
  • Best steroids who gave a very good response

    Best Steroids
    Hi
    Thanks for the offer but I'm going to have to decline. What you are suggesting wouldn't be ethical. I'm all for you leaving reviews but it would need to be legitimate reviews on experience of our service and products purchased. Anything else would be false and not a true reflection of my service and quality of products. To do as you suggest would undermine my integrity and defeat the object of this site, although I am well aware that not everyone on this site is as conscientious as me.

    Regards
    Best

  • PHARMACOM STORE (Forwards my requests to BFG the same day. "playing the game", to find out about more users to report to BFG)

    Ok, let’s do it. If you’re willing to accept only orals as a donation we can increase that sum to 300$.
    Running really low on all injectables at this moment.

  • NAPSGEAR (EDIT: A misunderstanding, src was talking about the promo they're currently running. My apologies. )

    Your order numbers please.

BUT not all the sources where like this, and some of them decided to go ahead with the offer.

  • ROIDSEEK

    yes bro, i am interested and i hope you are honest with me and you are man of your word ;)
    so 4 different orders, $200 each?
    place the orders and give me order ids. i will release them asap
    and with reviews and votes i will also like if you will post pics of the products you got

  • MUSCLE DEVELOPMENT

    ok well i guess i will do it, but only thing is im closed for all of april, because of interpole and their pangea operation. i dont know if you have noticed but most of the top sources have gone missing, thats because of this.
    if you give me a holla 1st May ill sort this out brother

  • MUSCLE GEAR

    I like your offer but I have one concern. We're Canada domestic only. I don't have a problem shipping to US in exchange for reviews but if the mods notice the reviews are from US based members I could have a problem. What do you think?

  • QUADFATHER

    Hello ok well I am interested only because it takes so long to move up the ranks. I sell high quality legit gear and provide great customer service so I feel I am on my way up just not fast enough. What level are you and the three other partners? So I would get 20 votes all together and 4 reviews? Do you have any idea how many positions that would move me up?

  • DGUSA was interested but not right now

    Thanks bro and no we wouldn't go to the mods. If there wasn't so much crap going on right now we would think about it but we are going to remain low key. We do fairly well as it is but the votes, etc would have helped. No biggie-thanks man.

  • 24HREUP seemed interested but never responded to my answer so call it how you see it?

    Hi.
    How many sources do you do this for ?
    sorry that came out really wrong... lol i mean how many sources have you done this for ?

  • MUSCLEDEPOT these are emails

    Hi, yes, we're good to start , let me know what you want for $200 and we can start as you offered 2 reviews now and 2 reviews later.
    If it is 4 reviews we can do it for:
    1) EuroChem products shipped from Europe (let's say Enanject,Decaject and Methanol)
    2) Dionysus products shipped US domestic (DioBeast and Diotest-C 10ml)
    3) Alpha Pharma shipped from Europe (INDUJECT-250 1ml 250mg/ml, Rexogin, Anazole)
    4) EC-Tropin 10iu (HGH) shipped from Europe (1 kit of EC-Tropin 10iu)

    Thanks,
    MD

  • AC

    alright sounds good to me when did you want to do this an what did you need

  • Steroidforyoucom

    just do it

THIS IS NOT WHAT MAKES EROIDS, these sources all take away from the integrity of the site, they shit on the very place that makes them money, and honestly I cant say I would trust any source willing to trade for fake reviews.

Thankyou BFG and MODs for everything you put into this site, all your time and effort to make this place great! I hope that as a regular member my contributions help you continue to build on this vision.

I have forwarded all PMs and gave BFG password to my email account, so if anybody has in questions about legitimacy they can be answered.

dudebro's picture

nice work bud. what about the other 30 or so sources? did they just pretty much ignore you or what?

dudebro's picture

whats your take on 24hreup? seems to me like he was just more interested in seeing what other sources were up to and how they might be manipulating the rankings. ive never dealt with him personally so im no fanboy but to me it just seems like he was just looking to see whats going on with other sources.

thoughts?

wonder if any sources will reply to this?

Excellent work brother! I will always deal with a source that builds itself on quality of product, stellar service and uncompromised integrity opposed to one that operates unscrupulously! Thank you so very much for this! +1 for your valiant and strong efforts in making this a great community!

Excellent work. This is one of the things that makes Eroids the best aas site in the world!

Stickied....... i dont want this to disappear .

Rrexy's picture

Wow!
Excellent job with this. I commend you and the site for doing/allowing this to be done.
Integrity is everything, especially here.
Hopefully those busted will learn from their mistake & congrats to those that stood their ground and said no thank you.
Definitely an eye opener...........

jansen's picture

Great work man! I always figured that the mods probably already done something like this.

Phoenix Rising's picture

Ouch! Thanks for the heads up and the time to look into this. I know I want my source to be true and honest. +1

Lostlifter's picture

Great undercover work. I can't believe sources would take that risk for 4 votes. Thanks goes out to Eroids and the integrity of some sources. Like a pad lock, it keeps honest people honest, but still slows down the crooks. Hopefully enough to get caught and beaten down to a pulp. Good looking out.

DSTER's picture

man nobody does public shamming like eroids! Love when shady shit is found its made public for all to see, and not just handled behind the curtains.

eastcoastmuscle's picture

WOW , i bet this is gonna straighten some sources up around here quick......I dont understand why some higher ranked sources would even bother with something like this when they are already high up

PIN_CUSHION's picture

Thanks for doing this. I know you may catch some shit from people, but this shows the dirty side of the game. I know we aren't all naive enough to think that this doesn't go on, but you never really see it brought out in the open like this. Like other people have said we rely on a true and honest review and rating. How else are we to know? Unfortunate in this day and age a man's word doesn't mean shit. It's sad because this country was built on your word, and a handshake.I'm also glad to see that my current source declined.

VIKING EVOLUTION's picture

I know you may catch some shit from people,

No he wont, anyone who tries will meet the hammer head on.

PIN_CUSHION's picture

That's good. It seems to me like, knock on wood, things are turning around. Cycles page isn't a disaster like it has been, not many trolls out there and we can all see that you guys are cleaning house. I know there's a lot of shady shit that goes on and I've always believed the less you know the better. As long as my karma ain't dropping and I'm still able to sign in each day then it's a good day.

VIKING EVOLUTION's picture

Light at the end of the tunnel is getting brighter..... thats for sure!... we just keep grinding the reps out to keep eroids healthy and grow brother........... thats what our days involve.

CBBurrr's picture

oh, hell yea.!!!

wheels's picture

Thanks for the thoughtfulness and effort you put into this. I'm disappointed too with a couple of the SRCs that took the bait.

Maybe we could hold these unethical SRCs up as a permanent warning and example by making this thread a sticky?

Kinda like putting a head on a pike along the roadside to remind people to behave.

GRIMEY's picture

Good job. Im not at all surprised with the list of sources that told you to fuck off, however Im a little surprised with some that took the bait. Good f'in work. +100000""

All I can say is FUCK!!! Now this makes me wonder how much this really goes on! I bet it won't happen again.

Looks Like LE isn't the only one that can clean house.

WINNING's picture

Some sad, dirty ass games these sources play. I've had the same shit happen to me about pre voting before free gear! Fckin shame, str8 fuckery. I'm so glad I won the ebc, so I can try everyone's gear, to determine real/fake. Honesty the real mofo's don't give free shit all the time. Noting bad about free gear, but the scam has to stop. This shit is asinine! It's a gamble, but I don't even go by source rankings, I go by word of mouth!! +2 Homie!! What a source will do for a top spot is sickening! EXCELLENT JOB

DeepSouthIron's picture

I'm pretty disappointed in the fact that these sources even toyed with the idea that this would be ok. This whole site, and community, is built upon trust and integrity. To see a few of these top sources being ok with something like this is appalling. Kind of defeats the whole purpose of the ranking system and the votes. My hat is off to you for doing this kind of an investigation.

Makwa's picture

It was nice to see some of these sources tell you to go suck an egg but disheartening to see some of them take the bait. As always buyer beware, but hopefully this will send a message that this isn't acceptable. +1

flacidego's picture

Nice work! +1 ...and this is how the cookie crumbles. I wonder if their scores will be reset or not. Hmmmm.

Catalyst's picture

Great work. +2

I'm a big believer in integrity and I'm VERY disappointed with a name or two on that list who will now never receive another order from me.

Sending you a FR btw.

Good work exposing these cheaters!+1

Gymjunkie01's picture

WOW.... thank you for brining this in the open, for the ones that took the offer they should be banned or fined somehow. its sad that not everyone can operate with integrity on here. if a new member would see a review from a member with such high karma they would make there decision a lot easier to purchase from them and the could be getting nothing but grape seed oil... people like this give the rest of the good src's a bad name!!!!!! SHAME ON YOU and I APPLAUD THE ONES THAT DIDNT TAKE THE OFFER
