Long story short, I placed an order for 3 vials of primo and 2 test. When you place an order you are provided with a delivery address and an amount of bitcoin to send. I payed for my order in bitcoin and Basicstero is trying to tell me that it was not sent to them. I sent it to the exact address that was provided to me.They blatantly STOLE $540 from me and refuse to send me my order. DO NOT TRUST Basicstero. I'm in shock right now that a "reputable" supplier would do this to me.

------------

EDIT (by RThoads): to Add Resolution info to first post because some may not read details of entire thread and it is CLEAR that the source did NOT do anything wrong.
In fact, Basicstero went out of his way to help the customer even though the issue was NOT at all involving or the responsibility fault of the source.
The source's tracking info confirms the pack was successfully delivered.

So, I googled this address and found it mentioned here
https://www.bountysource.com/issues/71230248-phishing-attack
Man, sorry to say this, but it looks like you are a victim of a phishing attack. You used electrum wallet to send coins? Let me guess: you launched electrum wallet. It poped up a window with the advise to update the wallet. You agreed, right?
Electrum is under attack latest few weeks. There is a respective message on their site "Warning: Electrum versions older than 3.3 can no longer connect to public servers, and must be upgraded. This is in order to prevent user exposure tophishing messages. Do not download Electrum from any another source than electrum.org."
Your coins are stolen indeed, but not by basicstero.
I can post the destination address, it is bc1qcla39fm0q8ka8th8ttpq0yxla30r430m4hgu3x and it has numerous incoming transfers. Latest were done on 9th of April.
https://chainz.cryptoid.info/btc/address.dws?bc1qcla39fm0q8ka8th8ttpq0yxla30r430m4hgu3x.htm
This block explorer shows full transfers history, others do not see it for some reason.

I don`t really like to finish this thread on a negative note. This was a loval order. We offer the following solution. Although we did not get funds, but we offer to send this order from our international warehouse. You don`t stay without goods, we minimize losses on international delivery.

Extremely generous and kind of Basicstero to make an offer to help someone with something that was not at all the fault/responsibility of the source -- and even more so, generously offer to someone that came on here (unknown with no posts) and harshly bash/accuse the source.

I have seen phishing before.
I remember on ProMuscle TP (the provider, a popular GH source) warned about some phishing scam last year or so (fake emails were sent to customers) and he explained one must check carefully the header etc to make sure they are interacting with whom they intend.
Sources cannot sit at your end and do this for you -- such an issue is not associated with the source's end – the individual must stay up-to-date and careful.

In such a case of phishing attack with the wallet or other steps (not the source).
Then it is NOT at all any fault the source (Any source) and not the source's responsibility.
Clearly the if this is what happened, then the scam occurred before payment ever reached Basicstero (the source did not get paid).

This is responsibility of the customer to make sure payment is sent to the correct place.
IF we have it any other way, people can scam by simply sending BTC to another address of their own and claim it was sent to the source.
It is only the source’s fault if the source provided wrong address or made a mistake.

Also, keep in mind, if the OP was victim of phishing (as warned about on the electrum website, see below), then he would be able to see in the BTC transaction history on the blockchain that the money was NOT sent to the address Basicstero provided.
So I still do not understand the bashing and accusations??? has the transaction history been looked up yet by the OP (I explained how to do so)?

Basicstero made no mistake here, Basicstero did not steal/scam anyone, and the OP made very serious slanderous accusations without even considering all possibilities.
With that said, I think Frank’s (Basicstero’s) offer is amazingly generous.
Clearly, the source was not at all involved nor at fault, and did not get paid.

That would be awesome Basicstero I really do appreciate that. When I made this post I was completely under the impression that my money was taken so I apologize sincerely for any backlash that I have caused.
I had no idea that this phishing was even possible and I do feel very bad for what I've said. Basicstero was not at fault in any way. Also feel like it's necessary to say that I'm not a scammer and did send the money it just got intercepted by a hacker? Regardless, I am very sorry and thank you to Basicstero.

My eyes hurt! Did you try to contact them here, I'm sure it's a simple mixup
 
Did someone hack your email to alter the bitcoin address somehow or maybe a simple mixup as stated? Just throwing that out there as this is a serious accusation to make.

Nope I sent it directly to the address that was given to me. I've been using crypto for years.
 
Hmm I had no problems with them recently. I feel like this was an error on someones part and not theft.

Glad to hear you didn't have problems.. I would assume it was just an error if their sales support offered ANY help in trying to solve the issue...
 
Isn't there a rule about bashing, and right away brand new. C'mon man. Try and work it out before posting such a strong accusation.
 
One time in band camp, I asked a girl to stick a flute in her pussy. True story....maybe

Man you have 13 posts and this is not the way you handle this situation. Secondly it’s up to you to be 1000% secure and triple check everything during the order process. Putting them in blast is gunna hurt you more than help you .

I'm sorry dude but the amount of posts I have literally has nothing to do with the fact that I did triple check everything during the process and they are refusing to send my order. Think what you want, but they are the ones that are refusing to handle this properly.

Secondly, it sounds to me like they need to be put on blast and that one of the reasons that forums like this exist is to warn other potential customers of issues that may arise with a supplier. I stand by my original post unless one of the multiple reps that I have PMed decide to respond and solve this issue.
 
I thought I read a post recently that emails were being hacked the btc addresses were getting changed.

The OP needs to work with customer support and provide/email real evidence to Basicstero that the payment was made (3rd party proof NOT something that can be manufactured/counterfeited).
IF the source received payment then the product will be shipped -- this is a good business and has no interest in taking money without sending products.
But please consider for ANY source, how can the source just send an order because a guy that no one knows at all simply says "I sent the money."

Let me clarify -- not just a payment was made, but that it was made successfully to Basicstero -- I do not know of any source or any businesses that allow people to simply claim money is sent, maybe mistakenly sent somewhere wrong, or just some other error, and then still get products. Not even Amazon, not Walmart -- tell me where we can shop and just say we sent payment but the store did not receive any money and we still expect to get products??? I will go buy a Ferrari for free if that is how it can be done.

Pharmacom has been around for over a decade -- a large world-wide a top brand.
We have many sponsored athletes, literally 1000s of customers, and clearly not a small UGL.
With that said, there is no point nor interest in taking $500 from one guy -- already his post likely cost us much more than the $500 we would supposedly have gained.
We have a long track record (can been seen here and on many other boards as well) of going above and beyond to generously compensate customers if/when there is ever an issue.
This guy is trying to pressure and force a pack to be sent out without a confirmed payment; we can not send out packs when no payment was confirmed.
Obviously, we need more than just someone word that they say payment was sent or anyone and everyone could say the same thing and we would do what? send out all free orders? we can not survive by sending out orders without being paid for our product/time/work.

His accusation is very serious and now potentially hurts our business.
IF someone is newer to things and does not know our history or track record and is simply browsing for a source, sees this accusation, he or she will instantly move to another source.
IF it is even true (maybe he is just trying to pressure to get something free, I do not know) he sent BTC somewhere, then maybe he made a mistake or something went wrong with the transfer--I do not understand how/whey he would not think there are some more reasonable possibilities.

We'll give it some time and I let Frank (Basicstero) look into the details.
I hope a payment is found and he gets his order. Sadly, that will only be able to make it right for him but he already damages business for Basicstero by bashing and accusing when there are clearly many other possibilities regarding what happened.
Unfortunately, we are now doing extra work, putting in time, all to help someone who makes a click-bait bash post that most likely already cost far more than $500 in business by discouraging less informed new customers just browsing the board.
Nonetheless, if no payment was received on the source's end, no pack will be sent out.
He will need to email his details and evidences (but the problem is anyone can photoshop a screenshot -- I can go right now and take a pic of my BTC transactions and paste over the address to make it look like I sent you money today -- so we need real evidence such as blockchain transaction links etc).
There is ZERO chance Pharmacom or Frank would care to take $500 at the expense of tarnishing a decade+ good business history and large world-wide brand -- just would not be worth it.
I wish things like this were considered logically instead of bashing us and now hurting our business.

Also, I share with you what I replied to the OP in PM:

RThoads said:
Reps and other people will not be bale to see your private info such as order details or payment. I understand you mention that you already emailed someone. I am not sure who you worked with regarding your issue so I will give this general info in case it may help. Nonetheless, if the receiver did not get the payment, then the issue is not with Basicstero (the source wants the money, but if it did not receive it is not likely there is anything customer support can do).
I hope your issue is resolved but understand if the source did not receive a payment, it can not send out an order (or else many people will simply say they sent a payment and they would collect free orders).

Tip/Advice for everyone:

For specific account and order related inquiries please use the "Contact Us" form on the Basicstero website for the most direct and efficient communication with the company's customer service.
https://int.basicstero.ws/index/contact

***Be sure to check your spam folder after contacting customer service because in the past some people complain they did not get a reply when in fact their email service filtered the reply to spam.

Board reps, posts, even PMs are not as efficient nor direct - may get overlooked or take time to be relayed to the appropriate personnel.
This is a big World-Wide company; Reps/PR/Marketing people are mostly relaying information/news/announcements and may not even have the ability, access, nor authority to see private account and order information.
(it is a good thing though, that the company only allows specific person ability to access private info for customer security reasons :) ).

Also, please, for your own safety never state any personal information in a public post.

The "contact us" form is the most direct form of communication regarding accounts and orders.

NOTE
regarding tracking (which is a common inquiry I see daily across various boards and PMs):
In my experience, usually tracking is NOT uploaded until a pack leaves the warehouse country and passes outgoing (origin nation's) customs.
In my opinion this usually takes approx a couple weeks for intl packs.
Please be patient and try not to ask customer service for tracking info -- tracking will be uploaded to your dashboard when it is available and authorized to be given out.
A source has no control over the postal service nor if packs are accurately scanned/updated within the postal system (once the pack is shipped, a source can only see what tracking shows you -- just like if/when you mail something to someone).
Keep in mind you can check the status of your order on the Basicstero site by loging into the warehouse where you placed the order and navigating to your
dashboard >> orders >> select the order you would like to see.
IF tracking has been uploaded to your account it will appear there in the order details section.

NOTE: Looking for additional advise regarding your cycle, PCT, blood work interpretation and so on?
Our specialist can help you:
dr.pharmacom@protonmail.com
Please do not use this email for orders related questions; they will be ignored.

I hope these tips and info are helpful :)


Edit to add reply to the post-count comment:

post count and your own history do matter because anyone can say anything.
Think about it -- without any track record or history, bashers, paid shills, trolls, competitors etc could make a lot of trouble and hinder business and the integrity of a board.
Also, the source is NOT refusing to handle things properly just because you are not happy with a conclusion -- maybe you did not handle it properly? maybe think about all possibilities etc before bashing?
Frank (Basicstero) is a great guy who goes above and beyond for people -- if he received or can confirm the payment, he for sure go out of his way to make sure you got products.
We have all seen him over the years do multi re-ships, free bonuses, extras, store credits, price reductions -- whatever it takes to make thing right if there were any issue.
But a source can NOT "make things right" by sending out packs for order that have not been paid.
You mentioned being in email correspondence already -- send email solid evidences such as links to the transaction on the blockchain etc and get this done if you really sent payment.

I could understand if you were frustrated saying no one was working with you if you did not hear back BUT you are saying you have emails ; it sounds like you just do not like the conclusion.
Coming on here bashing like this does not help with your issue but it simply hurts the source.

You need a copy of the bitcoin payment log showing coins going to basicstero's wallet. Without that there's nothing more to talk about and the thread can be deleted.

yep! anyone can say anything. Anyone can photoshop a nice fake screenshot. Anyone can make a pic show any addresses senders/receivers and any amount of money.
Within a few minutes I can make a pic that "shows" I sent a million dollars to you.

But 3rd party independent real data... that is what he needs to email to Basicstero.

BTC transaction can be searched/viewed here:
https://www.blockchain.com/

Pull up the transaction, and let the source check if the address where the funds were sent is indeed the source's wallet.

IF money did end up in the source's wallet, I know for sure a pack will be sent -- $500 is NOT even worth the drama already created or potentially lost business by the click-bait buzz-word title.
