Greenpoint seeds!!

Every dispensary I’ve visited has been cash only.

Everyone I have visited has taken cash or debit, and everyone has had an ATM in the front area that charges crazy amounts for withdrawal and only allows $400 at a time.
A lot of seed companies have also sold their seeds for many years taking nothing but MO or cash. Payofix has absolutely scammed customers of Gp. Even if it was just one, that is reason enough to discontinue accepting CC until one can be found that isn't scamming customers.

Yes. I think they should discontinue CC. The majority of American seed banks do not use them.

lol. Yeah, there are many of us that are well aware how you feel about the CC option at GP.

Wasn’t it you that pretty much demanded Gu to shut it down a few weeks ago?
Of course, I could have you mixed up with someone else that had ranted about it many, many times.

hey, do most folks wear gloves when watering with Recharge?

how about salt-based nutes?

I figured as much, but wasn’t certain. I checked out a couple Rec spots when they first opened, weed is subpar for the most part.

Gloves are for pussies.

International buyer though not sure if its just American buyers being compromised ?

Yes. I’ve been saying he should get rid of the CC option for weeks, because we’ve known that payofix was selling CC info for weeks.

How can you say they’re fine? Not everyone has gotten their CC info stolen, but enough of your customers have that it’s clearly coming from your processor. Some customers have only used their card at your site before it was compromised.

For those skeptical, the ICMag GPS thread has a lot of users that have had their CC info stolen after purchasing from GPS. All the users here got buried by the avalanche that came with the bunk S1’s.

And yes there are so many options, so why not just get rid of the CC option?

1st if you use your own CC instead of a loadable CC then its your fault. You are buying illegal seeds (federally) why would anyone do that.

2nd How do I or any1 else know that the posters aren't lying or that it's not JJ or crew.

Only two of my bodega bubblegum females are chem dominant.
First one is typical burnt rubber but the second smells rotten -- like roadkill.

Is there a strain called 'Bloated Possum'?

Speaking of Bodega, I have a few in flower around 2 weeks or so. I was running a few in 1 gal pots because I had used up all my 3gal. Anyhow I chopped a few plants so I went to re-pot a Bodega and damn did she smell of bubble gum awesomeness. I love gum and can't wait to see her grow up. I also dusted a branch of Schmoes Casey Jones with a sweet gummy male.

Your first point is contradictory. If it’s dumb for people to use CC, it’s also dumb for GPS to accept CC. Anyone purchasing seeds, regardless of payment method, is doing something federally illegal. CC doesn’t change that at all.

Go ahead and ask the multiple people on this thread that have had their CC info compromised if they’re just making it up. You really think JJ cares this much about GPS to spread rumors? I haven’t seen anyone from Top Dawg crew say anything about GPS in years. Given how quickly they sell out every drop, they’re obviously not hurting.

Also, one of Top Dawg’s main banks is Seeds Here Now, who apparently also use payofix. They’d just be shooting themselves in the foot.

Dont the taxes for cannabis related businesses in Colorad have to be paid in cash? That's what I read somewhere anyways.
That's probably why cash is king lol.

Why wouldn't he accept CC its not his responsibility to protect you. It's a outside company that does the CC and it's well documented by GU as such. If your not smart enough to use a prepaid card then suffer with the results.

Wtf? Seriously? If buying with CC is so unsafe or problematic, an ethical seller should try to protect his customers and not offer it. Your reasoning is genuinely bizarre.

In this case, we’ve known that payofix is selling info for a long time. One customer contacted GPS specifically and alerted them to this. GPS has done nothing to either warn their customers or remove the offending CC processor.

It’s crazy that you’re supporting this. If anyone had their CC info stolen when using any other vendor, people would be up in arms.

I agree that customers should use cash or MOs. But just because a customer has a choice of options, doesn’t make it ok for GPS to use a CC processor with a high likelihood of having your info stolen. There’s responsibility on both sides here. GPS isn’t magically absolved of this when they’ve known for weeks that payofix is problematic.

I agree. Especially since many only used cards for this and never anything else. I know it is convenient but it is without a doubt compromised. Several not on this website had this issue and they were cards only used on the site. These customers will probably never use GPS again even though it wasn't him that did it.

So your solution is to ban CC all together so that responsible adults that use a prepaid can no longer do it. So that someone from overseas now has to send money?

I think there needs to be a disclaimer maybe to say preferred CC payment method is by a prepaid card..
And I'm from the UK, and I went to foreign exchange, changed my £-$ and sent money tracked..3 times I've done this lol.
Safety first!....and then team work.

I think a compromise would be to give a warning that the cc system is compromised and they should use at their own risk. Of course here in the states that is probably most definitely a federal charge regardless and I would consult with a lawyer before doing it.

I can see a disclaimer saying preferred CC method is a prepaid card. That should be for all seed sellers now that banks in the USA can't/won't process for them.
To me thats common sense but I guess lots of people lack common sense.

I think it more ignorance than anything. You have to remember how many new people to the game are joining in everyday...

Didn't they put up a banner that mentions CC may not be the best method of payment? I used CC one time in the very beginning but haven't used it again after I saw people having troubles.
