Greenpoint seeds!!

[smokeybeard]

Man, I don’t think I can follow this thread any further. Too much drama.

I feel like all this agro towards Gu is a bit much. Whenever you buy seeds you still just don’t know.

With that being said, this extreme hatred towards somebody at a business point is insane.

You bought something from someone you didn’t really know (except for a few).

I have a close friend who grows in a med and rec state and he agreed that some strains are more finicky than others. Did this dude deny Gu? No.

For those of you super angry, I’m going to ask for you to not be involved. This thread should go back to Gu. You bought S1’s and shit didn’t work. Surprise, surprise. Less hate and more understanding is a better way to address it.

Go with his Wild West Series. Don’t jump on the train of what’s trending. If I were to do that, I might get shit every time. Some folks act like this their first grow, if it didn’t work put great then there is a shit storm towards person.

If you backed Gu and were upset by results that came from a different idea, I understand. But if you bought Gu’s stuff and it worked well but “his” newer stuff didn’t, he is probably trying to expand and incorporate other folks and/or businesses with himself. Since it has been openly discussed about where he got some (hopefully not all) S1s that he was carrying that we can all buck up, accept the lose and get on with ourselves.

As a grower and not as much I would like, I hope everyone yields well and has good day in life.

Things didn’t just not work out because of some finnicky strains. Gu sold fake seeds. Some people spent hundreds to thousands on them.

This thread isn’t just about Gu’s strains, but also his business practices.

What’s up with payofix? Multiple people have had their card information stolen, and it’s very likely through your CC processor.

I cannot answer questions about payments or shipping, breeding or anything else. I just don't know. Gu will be able to answer your questions soon.

For me, I use cash for everything. I have had my card number stolen from using my card on Amazon and so I got rid of them all except for one and I only use it in person. Besides that, I use crypto.

I'm really sorry I cannot be more helpful. I just don't wanna speak on anything I'm not in charge of. You know? Again, I'm sorry.

 

[greenpointseeds]

oh ok, thanks

He should have addressed us by now. It is only making matters worse now by not speaking out.

I was banned. Sorry for the confusion and the waits.

Wait, are you trying to obfuscate what could be a significant problem with how GPS, specifically, is handling CC transactions?

Are you in charge of the website? If so, how do you handle a CC order entry and at what point is that information transmitted to your selected transaction processor?

Nope. I was merely adding to the fact that I am not qualified to answer those questions (about the processor or their company).

I feel like you're obfuscating what I'm trying to say here. I hear what you are saying, but I cannot and will not speak on matters concerning GPS that I am not in a position to. I can share some technical information with you about processors though

Like I have said many times, Gu will aswer your questions soon.

I can tell you that I have never worked for a company who stored their customers credit card information. And GPS is no different.

It is all handled through the processor and their API. No actual card information (except for account stuff like your email and address) is ever stored on the website and is not accessible by anyone at the website.

When there is an issue or any credit card authorization stuff, the customer is always forwarded to the processor themselves.

That's standard. No credit card information is ever "handed" to anyone. The processor uses an API to allow the customer's to pay without having to forward you to another website for payment. In the case an API is not used (like on old Shopify setups and/or PayPal payments), then you are in fact forwarded to the processor's site to make your payment (from which you are then returned to the original site where you are usually presented with a "Thank You" page).

So the payment information is not ever actually processed through the store's server, it is done externally and utilizes the API to prevent the customer from having to go back and forth.

The HTTPS is an added layer of security that protects you even further. Which is why most places that process payments must have an updates SSL certificate to allow API integrations that process payments through the gateway.

Hope that helps.

LIES!! You stole the CC info!! Stone him!!

I didnt get notifications on this thread and missed like 7 pages

View attachment 4136587 Was everyone else's Pure Rasberry Kush label different then the rest of their CV gear? I picked that one up from the 420 sale and the PRK is written in red ink and not black like the other packs of assorted strains. It has me wondering if these are maybe older/newer seeds.

I have 2 packs. One is a red label font and the other is a black font. They were ordered within 24 hrs of each other.

Hello all,

This is my first post on this forum. I felt obligated after reading some of the CC issues at GPS to let other GPS customers know that my CC was also compromised. It is very possible that this occurred as the result of paying for purchases at GPS.

I have around eight orders from GPS that were made in March. Seven of these orders were made using a CC. Within 24 hours of the seventh order, there were two attempts to make fraudulent purchases at an Apple store. Fraud monitoring was able to block the second attempt and subsequently cancel my card number. Needless to say, the eighth and subsequent purchase were via money order.

I rarely have had issues with CC fraud. I could not definitively say that it was due to the purchases at GPS that allowed the CC information to leak and, as such, I did not pursue it at the time. However, after reading that others were having similar issues recently, it seems very likely that something in the CC transaction process at GPS is leaking information.

I recently followed up on my experience by emailing Gu and suggesting that they may be having some security issues surrounding their transaction processor. I did receive an email back a couple of days later from their web person who, unfortunately, took the stance of what amounts to "it's not their problem". This type of response is rather unusual and, hence, I am posting my experience here. I have followed up on that email but, after several days, have yet to receive further response.

Whatever the case may be, I would suggest avoiding the use of a CC when ordering from GPS, if possible. At least until there is some positive action on the part of GPS. Most certainly do not utilize a debit/CC linked card. If you insist in using a CC perhaps consider obtaining a re-loadable/temporary CC card.

I too have purchased some S1's. But, that's another topic.

There was one post stating that the card frauded was only used at GPS and nowhere else. Kinda hard to deny that it is from GPS/Payofix if that is the case.

Right now I want to strip Gu naked. Tie him to a post. Then tickle him with feathers until he tells the truth or dies laughing. I'm coming for you Gu!!

"Goochie Gu~"

This is technically correct. I have no affiliation with GPS, but I have talked to @greenpointseeds a couple of times. The way he described the typical electronic payment process in his recent post is accurate. I have worked on payments gateway systems professionally since 2003. Definitely feel free to blame Payofix for this apparent problem, only Payofix.

 

[HydroRed]

Its surely a difficult time right now to be picky or selective with off shore card processors for this line of business.

I have done a fair bit of research on this over the last three years, personally, and the shit be ugly. Everyone should take a deep breath and be patient right now, with GPS, imo. We all have limited verifiable information, give it a week and things may change dramatically.

 

[Cold$moke]

Both my packs were 6 each. If you guys got 11 that is totally fucked up. Fuck gu, fuck GPS and fuck these seeds. I've had it

Ha ha dont feel bad after hearing so many peeps claim a lot extra i cracked.my Tennessee kush and prk and found five and 6 beans haha ahh well tons of gear to test without the hassle

 

[Cold$moke]

Then why even say anything openly about it. Its like those passive aggressive posts on FB that say "ugg so fucking tired of this" and the second someone asked they say "don't wanna talk about it."

He could've just pm'd the people he wanted to share it with and left it at that.

*shrugs* IDGAF either way. This whole thread has turned into drama central...mostly from people who haven't even bought seeds.

I'm out. I'll be back when the bud porn shows up.

lol

rumor is the genetics are shit and the mothers weren't even legit.

so all these purchased seeds are of unknown strains.

if that is true, somebody will catch up with SAG and beat his fucking ass !!!!!

 

[NoWaistedSpace]

got a link to that show

They stopped recording their shows about a week ago.

 

[Crash32097]

I too had to close my CC, had a fraudulent transaction over the weekend for $200, first time this has ever happened to me! I don't know who is to blame but luckily I caught it in time to get my money back! As per the S1s, I was so pissed they were yanked from my cart when there were only a few left in stock, tried to reorder but they were all gone, now it feels like I've been spared! I think until the card situation is cleared up I don't think I'll go beyond silver status

 

[Heisengrow]

Several complaints across the web of CC fraud @GP and people having there cc info stolen and the option is still on the website.
Sorry gu but this is pretty much some bullshit.no different than someone selling seeds that they know are bunk.Im pretty disappointed if the whole situation and hope you can come out of this and land on your feet but damn.tank should have removed the cc option after all the reports of the cc scams the same way the fems were removed.
None of this makes any sense whatsoever.than to take a family emergency but what about the greenpoint fam?you got some pretty loyal customers that use some reassurance to get this straightened out.

Wtf man

 

[dySSyd]

I like fems(crosses) not s1 of a clone..

Like green points (South beach sherb) sherbet x 92 og hell I have not seen a bad post about them,or the others that got released.

Plushberry was a badass cross,I ran that for a long time..

I too have purchased some S1's. But, that's another topic.

I too have had cc purchases and cancelled cards twice in the last couple years. Fraud alert blocked then cancelled my card. I use this card everywhere though. Probably 15 plus years. No issues until I purchased beans not just from here but others as well. I switched to cash. I realized beans are somewhat shady as far as legality in my area. I've been happy with the purchases so I have no complaints. But my last purchase was a month ago. Cash only for me everywhere. Not defending or backing anyone. Just the facts.
