I.D. if you dare....

Threads like this are just put up to stir up nonsense.Bashing a vendor that is not even on this site is very high school like.

If you liked the tigers and thought they were real st's then buy them

If they look like IT's to you then simply pass on by.

A scam is when you had no idea,Clearly all the information is there for you to make your own decision.

lol if you're referring to me, i actually like that seller alot, i just wasn't surprised that they turned out to be IT's. I was very close to getting some, but knew the gamble i was facing.
that is all. no bashing involved.

Clearly a "scam" is an attempt to defraud - which is intent to defraud. So again, I don't think it's a scam, nor do I think it's fair to call it a scam.
OK, I think you're focusing on the vendor too much, while i'm talking about the arrival of these fish on to the market as STs.
I don't mean the seller is a scam artist, rubbing his grubby hands together in a Barabas like manner knowing he is selling 3 bar indos as ST and grabing the notes out of your hands, then shutting up shop for 6 months after the sale.
I'm talking about the greater scam in general that seems to be happening and which was noted here on MFK as going to happen.
Loads of ITs for sale, a lot more than last year. 6 months later (i guess out of season for new dats in Asia), STs being touted, which are clearly 3 bar indos. (not the ones in this thread but at Chatuchak market.)
Arrival of "ST" in the states.
It's a scam from source IMHO. The vendor in this case has been sucked in on the promise of large profit.
Still a scam though, the further down the chain you are doesn't make it less of a scam does it?

No worries. I'm not trying to argue a point that I'm not sold on either way. If I thought for sure they were juvi STs, I would have bought the 6 I planned to. But for a maybe, I didn't want to take the risk either.
