Advice needed: Got into dispute with a vendor/source, and now he is threatening to send guys to my house? What do I do?

ad

Hi guys,

First time poster, long time reader. I'm looking for advice here and not to public shame. I tried to join a source's website, but something happened and it never went through. So I emailed the contact for the site, and was literally told to piss off. It was extremely rude. I asked to be removed from their mailing list as a result.

Flash forward to today, I get a bunch more spam emails asking me to rejoin, etc. In an moment of poor decision making, I wrote an angry email and told the guy (1) one more time to remove me from his list, and (2) that if I got another email from his company I would refer it to my local LEO.

Bad mistake, this guy now thinks I am personally threatening him, and told me that he has my address (from the sign up) and that if any of his guys get busted, he will send someone to my house to hurt me. He also threatened to list my personal information publicly to paint me as a "drug reseller."

I mean, I really just wanted off this guys mailing list but, this guy escalates the conflict every time I reply just trying to communicate that I just want to be left alone.

I'm seriously concerned here. I found this source off of eroids.com review, and I'm seriously scared here. I mean, I have a family. What should I do? Is this just internet tough guy? My best friend works at the DA's office. Should I try and get help? Should I just shut up?

I'm in over my head, and any advice would be appreciated.

Dude....all ya had to do was mark the email as spam and move on. But you instead issued a threat? Now your openly threatening to drop the dime on the guy to the DA?
Bad idea! You gave him your name and address and threated him. I know a lot of guys that would do a lot of stuff for some free gear.
Remember YOU CAME TO HIM!

The best advise I can give is to apologize and drop it. Erase all of your posts.
Wait this is from October? Never mind.

I am new here, but not new to this. Why would you ever threaten to call the Law on a vendor just because you got pissed! Anyone that resorts to talk like that in my book, deserves what he got and is not to be trusted. This lifestyle is a choice and you are in no position to say such crap since you are the consumer. So suck it up and deal with with what you said. In the future maybe you will learn to control that mouth.

Trust me....he's selling wolf tickets.
I usually just toilet-paper their house.

You write somewhere below that you were surprised to find that we would expect the reaction you got. Well that's the way things go: Threaten someone and they'll threaten you back. Threaten to ruin someone's life and they'll threaten to ruin yours in return. It's not particularly tough or brutal, it's human behavior, self preservation.

If I were you I would take the advice and PM ANDROGEN or Catalyst about the more specific details so they can see if there's something extra that can be done to help fix this situation, and in the meantime don't reply to his emails, just remain silent, you've already apologized (right?), you can't do more than that at this point.

Finally, when things have been solved maybe post a short line saying so here so we know there's no need to post anymore.

Just leave it alone. Ignore him and it shall pass. If your all about telling on people be a square and leave the gear alone.

Suppose you settled it and calmed down by now as no more post; but diplomacy is a good way in life. (You still can send an apology?) time settles things as well ;)

I take it you learned all the following by now:
- no real,own email address
- no own shipping adresses
- small orders to write off in case no-show

Nobody likes a rat nobody likes spam either but I think the dislike of a rat is a tad bit bigger

Really new here myself, and I'm just puzzled as hell why you'd be so offended by some innocuous spam that you never even need to look at unless you want to. Everything I get like that goes straight into my spambox, and unless I open that looking for something specific, I never even see it. Even if that weren't the case, it's just advertisement, ignore it or not, no need to be uptight over it. But if his emails really were bothering you why not just send him a short email saying "Dude, yank me from your mailing list, thanks in advance" and call it good? Either he does and you don't get 'em anymore, or you set a filter in your email client that deletes them on receipt, problem solved.

But what a couple of these other guys said was right on the money, threatening to involve cops over....well, anything really, is a chicken-shit thing to do, something I'd expect from a woman, and a clear indication that you really do suffer from very low-T.

So yeah, you're right, that was a "bad mistake".

Whoa! Threats of calling the law is a bitch move! If I were you I would go buy myself some pantys and a bra, or man the hell up and realize you just broke the number one rule on the playground.

Lol, your stright to the point! No sugar coating.

blackops79's picture

Wow....I can't believe you threatened to go to LE over that. Really not cool. If I was you I would just shut up and it will go away. Don't even think about getting yourself in any further.

I would say reach out to him. Tell him no harm and thiers a misunderstanding. Your sorry.

  1. Up your dose of testosterone because your "worried" to me it's on the low end. A man does not worry of another man that bleeds blood.

  2. Buy your self a gun. Do not snitch no one out, especially to a DA. We are all men kids run to the cops.
    It's not something your source is worth interrupting his business for.

If it would of be me I would of just spammed the newsletter and went about it. If you threatened me, I would give you my house, work and hang out adress. Including my gym. And told you my phone number. " come and get me" make sure to wear body armor.

Don't buy stuff with your real address anymore. Get a p.o. Box or a buddy/ lady who will let you ship to their crib.

And if you're gonna threaten, you'd better be able to accept the consequences. Bad form by you and the source IMO. But, if you're going to threaten someone with destroying their life, I would expect them to answer in kind. Most people who engage in that behavior have nothing to lose. apparently you do. Not cool to put people at risk because you want to act a certain way. Learn and move on dog. Send email back saying you made a huge mistake and then leave it at that. Hope for the best for you

Loose lips sink ships....long time reader, first time poster? You are into something that is way over your head....you stir up something with LE on your end and i can guarantee you it will fall on you and you will look like a reseller....remain calm and neutralize the threat.....

is it a source on eroids?

Yes. Eroid source -- fairly highly reviewed. ~8.5 w/ 125 votes. I didn't even order anything, I've been thinking about making a purchase and signed up for this website just so I could view their inventory. Trying to do a price comparison between Rx TRT vs. just buying online.

Anyway, I really did learn a lesson here. Not just about dealing in the black market (first time), but about this community too. Maybe it's because I'm a new account but I was shocked just how "expected" this behavior was from sources. I learned that I'm not cut out for this little section of the internet, and maybe I'll just keep seeing the doctor than risk getting my family murdered for an email dispute.

Thanks for the reality check guys.

I don't care what he said, nobody is gonna "murder" anyone over this middle school level drama. You threatened to take away his freedom and he threatened bodily harm as a defense mechanism what else did you expect! If you are still that concerned about it pm the mods and see if they can mediate between the two of you (like they've already offered) and settle this. Problem solved, you're welcome. ;)

Edited on 11/26 to say I accidentally hit the "thumbs up"/up vote on my own post. Not trying to hijack the thread, I just want to be transparent about it, and I don't know where else/who else to report it to. Sorry for the noob mistake

Bad move on your part with the communications. Another bad move for posting this IMO, although I appreciate the soap box... But for real, the fact that you even consider and have suggested LE tells me you're not worth 2 shits...

McMeanie87's picture

Sounds like u fcked urself..i would have threatened you too honestly..just chill and knock off the threats of LE, thats not how we settle shit here..live n learn

Green Ranger's picture

Why would you say that over e-mails made by the mailing list. Get me off the mailing list or I'm calling the popo smh get your shit straight thats not how you talk to people. Ignore the e-mails and move on. If you can't clear your spam create another e-mail and take this as a lesson learned in communication.

Twobuddies's picture

Lesson learned.

That's what I'm saying bro!

Drywallstar's picture

Why not just ignore the emails? Report as spam etc? Dont rat, u just got caught in a shit storm.

Twobuddies's picture

Yeah obviously the smart choice now. I wasn't in my right mind and just made a dumb choice.

He sounds like Le bro!
