Greenpoint seeds email " tester" fishing scam

[st0wandgrow]

You are correct in that he is trying to get on in a big way and I respect that , because its a lot of work.Look his company sent out emails looking for testers,got an email saying oh too bad you you didnt get chosen.

Awe Shucks!
I don't know how to break it to ya.
Hey https://www.rollitup.org/members/daybreaker.886687/ , I just wanted to shoot you an email and let you know that you were not chosen for this testing round. There was such an overwhelming response that I couldn't accommodate everyone.
But for showing support and enthusiasm to us we'd like to offer you a chance to score some of these tester packs at the LOWEST RATE they will ever be offered. A minuscule $24.97 per pack
***CREDIT CARDS ACCEPTED***CASH/MONEY ORDERS ACCEPTED***

If you've ever purchased GPS products before (we thank you), you know how quickly gear goes, so be sure to act fast. This will be the lowest the Stardawg hybrids ever go for.
Thank you for the continued support. And we think you are still part of the Greenpoint Seeds family.

BUT lucky you can now purchase at $24.97 and said if you order please follow through. So I put in an order and never heard anything back.Then weeks later after I ahd been waiting on something...ANYTHING,,, I get another email saying
Star Dawg Hybrids Are LIVE!
I listed a few of the Star Dawg hybrids at GreenpointSeeds.com/buy
I listed them for $39.94 (10 per pack) and I'm going to be taking them away as they sell out.
After you submit your order, I will have to manually enter the info into an invoice, so please give me some time.
Also, I will be processing orders all day today, so please only send me an email if it's urgent.
Thanks, and let's show them GPS is here to stay!

we are having another seed drop at the all new priceof $39 and I emailed him to see what was up..........His response to me was

Did you end up paying and I never got back to you? that seems odd.
Oh I see, You put in an order and I never sent the invoice…. Or maybe I did and it’s buried in your junk?

That's the issue.


like I said im over it.yall can stick with GP im sure they'll eventually drop that preverbial ball again...lets hope not.happy seed hunting!!!!!

Ya know, I have to agree with you on that point. It is pretty tacky to deny someone for testing and then in the next breath say "hey btw, if you want to fork over some $$$ for these testers Id be more than happy to accommodate you". lol

testers were so popular I have to see how many suckers will pay for untested beans.

 

[panhead]

Oh man I fell for it.The ol sign me up and get these seeds to test for us...then the awe shucks you didn't get to be a tester...BUT get these great prices now and place an order...an order that was never replied to or acknowledged.Mr.magoo...or just GU the Colorado emailer for GPS sais maybe its lost in my junk folder.Dude get it right...the customer is always right....well most of the time.Then I sais yo I was bout to post in riu but decided not too cuz I like my Bodhi,gage green,archive,cooesseur,dna,rare dankness gear so I wont.Then he gets back and sais ...is that a threat????ha!!!this is what I wrote to that.

No threats GU, that's what forums are for breh.
The weed community calling breeders on their bullshit when they fuck up and praising them
when they do something awesome and groundbreaking.
You guys are new and want people to buy your seeds.
I get it.
I put in an order.
Think it said something like ,placing this order you agree to follow through with the purchase.
Took the time to fill out your tester forms and not a word.
Just an email saying ah too bad you didn't get to test but you can now buy our seeds
if you want at this great low price get m now.
Once again , nuth'n . Sneaky way of getting your email list built up though.
genius.
hmmm where's that unsubscribe button?!?!?
oh there it is at the bottom.

So Mr. magoo or GU I don't make threats I just go along with my day trying to create magic with my greenhouse and don't take lightly people that do shiesty business like trolling a website to gain emails from people to push their gear.If you are good and people vouch for you and your stuf,you wont need to do that.so quit and start again.g'day MATE!!!!

So did you get money stolen from you because you paid & he didn't ship ?

Or is all this about you not getting an email response ?

If its the latter & its simply a case of an unreturned email & you not getting something for free i'd say your being just a tad bit dramatic .

Is it that big of deal they now have you on their email list & you didn't get something you didn't buy .

I dont get what all the fuss is about , its what advertising has morphed into nowdays , its no different than Best Buy advertising million inch screen tv's for a silly low price but when you get there all 3 tv's they had are sold .

Atleast with this cat & his seed business all you gotta do is click a button to unsubscribe or delete further emails , seems like much to do about nothing to me .

Lol money talks.

 

[genuity]

Being a tester.......

What's the big deal with it?

Is it the free seeds?

Being apart of something?

Being able to say"I grew them first"?

Hell I get emails from riot seeds,and have not made one order.

Don't nobody want to wait for seeds to be made,let alone a long ass release date..
It's the way WE have made it

Lol nobody put a gun to your head and said read the email, order tester seeds blah blah blah.
Although i see your point in being denied a tester then being asked to pay for some. But breeders of all sorts old and new have done this so really whats the big deal.

Shit i sent a email and didnt even get a reply and i was trying to pay for them lol. I should make a thread too.

What does it matter? GPS is cheaper than any other "breeder" out there and he has moms from all over, and from in the past. He takes a male that he finds and made a bunch of seeds and sent out over 1000 freebies. His packs are still crazy cheap, and so he had a mess up. You seriously accuse him of misleading others by offering testers and then selling others? I am sorry you didn't get in on the testers but there is no reason for you to bash someone who didn't give you free seeds, and or misplaced your order ....btw...if you followed his Instagram you would see that he is offering 10 single day passes for the Cup in Denver....yeah, he is trying hard and if you don't respect it, at least don't try and discredit it.

Toke a bowl and just ignore his stuff, it's easy enough with how many other "breeders" there are. For much more $ with much worse genetics than GU.

Hey at first I was just asking him what happened ,then he blamed me and that's why I started a thread on him.

Man why are you so angry over this ? We have an entire forum here dedicated twords one specific seed breader , his soil , his seeds & what ever else he's selling , its advertising & nothing more .

If your this upset because his company "offered " to sell you seeds after you signed up to be a tester & were told sorry why didn't you ask how many free test packs were available to start with ? And how many were still available before you signed up asking for free goodies ?

You are not without fault in helping create a situation you put yourself in , 1 email asking if free stuff was still available woulda saved you the work of hitting the unsubscribe button & the let down your experiencing over not getting anything free from them in exchange for your valuable email addy .

Then you make all your posts with sly underhanded comments like " Make Good Seeds & they will come " and where you say " Kick Ass Breeders let the Seeds speak for the themselves " , your comments were made in order to imply his seeds suck .

You are OUTRAGED over this breeder USING free seeds to get you on a mailing list , yet you USE this forum to bash his business over petty issues , are you seeing the irony here ?

Im not part of the strain of the month club so i have zero use for seeds & only use clones so i have no vested interest , im responding to your bashing a business over petty issues to further your interests , which is getting even because you didn't get anything for free .

Atleast admit your outraged because you didn't get something for nothing .

That's simply not true. Just off the top of my head Eskobar, Dynasty, Sannies, Peak Seeds, Hazeman, etc are all less expensive. GPS has a *very* fair price point, but they should considering that they are a brand new company.

I'm not trying to rip on you or GPS, but is it that difficult to understand why day breaker is a little salty? I probably wouldn't have started a thread over it, but if a seed company denied me tester packs, then tried to sell me those same packs instead.... and dropped the ball when I did place an order Id be a little turned off by it too. Personally I appreciate folks sharing their experiences. If for no other reason it keeps breeders and seed banks somewhat honest when they know that their business dealings will be talked about on public forums

 

[genuity]

GPS has a public forum,open information for all...nothing to hide,by my eyes
the big plus is no green tape chances....

I made a order for some ballast,payed...still no email confirmation...it's been like 3 days and shit..now this is something to get riled over..

I was thinking the same thing! I'll test my own shit thank you. And I'm happy to pay others for their hard work, so I honestly don't like to hear that companies outsource. Well unless legit growers are testing them. But what professional wants to test other people's beans?

Im not angry at all.In fact I have seen threads where people are acting like complete assholes to eachother just being dicks for no apparent reason.This really has gotten blown out of proportion over a simple mistake that I called GU on when he decided to blame me when I was actually trying to buy seeds...AFTER the fact of not becoming a tester...I have killer plants-killer strains-and actually gave up on the GSC/cookie strains and was interested to see what they did to make it better.When I said he could throw me some freebies for wasting my time,i was joking around.I have seeds up to my neck that I haven't even touched from GGG,DNA,ARCHIVE the list goes on for miles.SO really he started the drama by saying I was threatening him and I lost his email in my junk box.This is drama ,everybody LOOOOOVES drama.right??No they don't,however,here it is,and since you aren't reading far enough back in the thread before adding your "unbiased response to me",your just rehashing an old argument...blahblah....

Exactly S&G.Sometimes people just need a little kick in the ass.

I read the whole thread brother , every last post , i just dont see this issue as worthy of any anger or " warning the mj community" .

im not angry but I was annoyed.And so far there are some people that were glad to be informed by this marketing tactic. Alot of companies run phishing campaigns its true, nothing new, i just felt the way it went down was lame. Probably wouldn't have started this thread if it weren't for his reaction and assumptions. Once this room cools down and moves on,i would dig if at all possible for a more uniform discussion on better ways to market seeds that isn't invasive.I prefer marketing ads on the actual websites rather than personal emails...

 

[daybreaker]

I love it how if you have an issue with something and bitch about it in an honest way and separate yourself from the sheep who just follow along dazed and stupid,that they feel threatened enough to open their pieholes to talk shit.Everyone's a badass on a keyboard.Bad Toro...anyday dude.come to Oakland and open that mouth.you got your seeds and extra stuf.you must feel like you won a ticket to Disneyland.woohoo muthafuckn mickeymouse!!!!!!
