Got me for $150 for some Cali Connection beans that he probably never had in the first place. He's still taking orders for Cali Connection gear. Surprised Swerve has yet to disassociated himself with this scam artist (Ripz), but I'm sure he will soon. My $150 isn't that big a deal (many others have lost more), but it's so frustrating that the scam game continues. Ripz is probably schizophrenic and posting to the forum under 15 different i.d.'s.... Whodi, who me?, etc.

STAY AWAY FROM POTPIMP - PURE SCAM 100% - YOU WILL BE ROBBED!

On caliconnection forum it is stated that PP is no longer recommended and i thought I read on a UK forum ripz got raided?
Plus all those breeders were banned a few weeks ago and it is to bad the forum is heavily modded and edited and you probably did not know that. Sorry to hear about your bad experience he has been doing it for some time now.

Ummm... not that I saw. Never saw any comments by Swerve to disassociate with Potpimp in any way. Just a couple of complaints by some defrauded customers. I even tried to become of member of the Cali Connection forum to post my warning and dissatisfaction, but have yet to receive a response email from Cali to allow me to log in.

But more importantly, right on the Cali Connection main website, on the PRODUCTS tab, it says get our seeds at Potpimp. I would have never even known about this scam site or sent my money if Cali Connection hadn't directed me there. Can't fault Swerve if they got scammed just like me, but come on... at least remove the freakin' reference to Potpimp. (And it wouldn't be so bad to post an apology on the Cali site to all the unknowing victims of Ripz resulting from Cali's introduction to the Potpimp site).:wall:

Swerve got banned like 3 days ago. Someone wrote asking if any Cali stock was coming in. Swerve wrote back (something like) Not until Ripz.... Ripz call me.

Banned.
Castle is still there - wonder what is up with that? All else gone... pretty much.
Also look for a Blazin' Pistillero (sp?) site to be up in a month or so (as of last word).
Sannie also has some new stuff comin out over the next week or three...details at his site.
I understand there is also a chocolate cheese to be coming out there at some time in the future...ummmm

Imo If Swerve doesnt reimburse the people who got ripped off at potpimp he is every bit of a crook as Ripz. Swerve promoted potpimp on his site and people trusted him and thats why they ordered from potpimp. He basically took part in the fucking these poor people recieved from Ripz eventhough he himself got burnt. If I was a seed salesman and I reffered my customers to a third party I would make it right if the third party ripped them off. I would just ask for correspondence/p.m's from the persons involved and ripz to verify they are not pulling a scam, then send them thier seeds. After all one plant produces thousands of seeds and I doubt that will break the man. Swerve not compensating his customers may not hurt his bussiness but bad karma is a bitch, just ask Rezdog after he fucked Chemdog. Nowadays all his seeds are no longer worth growing (low vigor, non germing and total crap) and before they were the shit. Cali Connection is a great co and I think Swerve will do the right thing and good karma will pay him back 100+ times his $9000 loss. Just my 2c's

Two problems with this....

1) Ripz banned everyone after robbing them, and these customers no longer have access to any of their p.m.'s.

2) It would be illegal in most instances for Swerve to send seeds to the majority of these customers.

Look, I'm the first one to say "you pay your money, you takes your chances." Swerve doesn't owe me anything because of what Potpimp and Ripz stole (although an apology would be nice). But Swerve DOES OWE IT TO THE COMMUNITY TO DISASSOCIATE WITH POTPIMP.

Its illegal to get seeds from any seed vendor thru the mail system although most cali/us seed vendors that sell/ship their seeds illegally do not put a return addy on package.
Btw, I am smoking some Larry Og and Tahoe OG from Swerves latest batch that were bred with a SFV F4 male and they just do not compare with his earlier batches bred with the SFV F3 male. Taste and potency have suffered dramatically so hope that helps ease the pain.

we did disassociate ourselves with that rip off artist. i am very sorry to everyone who got ripped by him.. i would gladly take a 50-1000$ loss anyday of the week to make sure people tryn to access my gear could get it.. trust me ripz jacked me for 7500 cash money.. we are actually going to use the legal process now in the uk with getting our money back thanks to being a uk based company as well.

and yeah the f4 generation def wasnt as good as the f3...but the f5 generation i am working with now is spot onto og..

SO ONCE AGAIN SORRY FROM THE BOTTOM OF OUR HEARTS FOR THIS UNFORTUNATE SITUATION FROM ME SWERVE AND THE REST OF THE CALI CONNECTION!!!

we will be on the worlds best most reliable seed banks very soon. so be ready ...

thank you for your continued support

Ripz bitch ass got me for $100 bucks. I ordered a Cali Connect mix pack in March, never got it. I saw sweve on PP a couple of weeks ago and Pm' him about the gear. He told me Ripz owed him and that I'd probly never get my gear. He was right. The next day Swerve got banned. The only reason I ordered from PP was the Cali Gear, fuck that fake pimp faggot ass site. He's been bad mouthing Cali Gear. He's been bragging how he's going to use Cali Gear genetics and sell their seeds at half price. Maybe you all in the UK should visit Ripz and find out if he really got balls or if he's a pussy. Ripz is running a UK scam and he's screwing with the Devil. If you in the UK get the bitch if not we got some folks that will find the Bitch. Anyway I got banned today cause I posted a blog about thoese who ordered but never received their seeds. Somebody ought to kick Ripz ass.
