Scamming and why you need to be careful
Post Body

For months, we have had a stickied post outlining the BST Guidelines. We requested for tagged pics, info on batch, seller, price you got it for, and other stuff. We did this to increase safety measures against scamming. Problem is, many people skip reading the "READ TO GET STARTED" post, and buy/sell right away. The mod team has been lenient with the BST's but now it has come to our attention one seller has scammed.

The Incident

Basically, discord user, Snax, sold a pair of Yeezy 350 v2's Synth BMLin batch size 10US another Yeezy Citrin bmlin batch for 3,500 to /u/JohnniieSinns. This is confirmed. (Take note, BMLin budget batches are lower in quality compared to other high-tier reps we're used too). This was back in february. Last month, Johnnie made a selling post containing Yeezy 350 v2 Synths, size 10US, claiming it was H12 batch, and priced at 3,000 pesos, while the Citrins were claimed to be PK batch. Discord user, /u/eksdee__, noticed this and was going to report, however he forgot about it and this was swept under the rug. Fast forward to present time, we were talking about Johnniie on an unrelated topic, and the user remembered this issue and reported it to us.

We have seen the pictures, the BMlin synths and citrins sold by Snax and the "H12" synths and “PK” Citrins sold by Johnniie are identical albeit dirtier. Size was also the same, of course. Snax said he also thought the synths were his, but didn't report to the mods due to doubt/not wanting to cause issues.

I messaged Johnniiee on discord, reddit chat, and reddit message, saying i need to hear his side. But he never responded on any of our queries. He did delete the imgur album of his Synth sale, but not the albums of the other sneakers he posted. He has also posted within the day. Guess he is ignoring me.

I won't ban him just yet, hopefully he can respond to the comments. Remember, I am not the one accusing you, I was just presented with evidence that seems to be cut and dry. Snax, the original seller, and /u/eksdee__ are the discord users who came out and provided proofs and receipts.

They look pretty identical to me, and to several other users.

This is the time to clear your name. If no response within 24 hours, I will ban you. I know banning won't do much, but that's the only thing I can do. What the community can do, however, is to follow the guidelines of BST. 3k Php may be small to some of you, but its still money and it is, of course, still useful for many.

I'm considering adding a BST rule to provide proof of purchase from specific sellers (wechat/whatsapp screenshots, blocking personal info of course), what do you guys think?

*PATI PALA CITRIN *

Not only the Synth pair, but the Citrins were also sold by Snax to Johnniee. And now rebranded as “PK” Citrins sold for 3k. Edited the post to make this clear.
