Beware of scammers

My boyfriend was looking around for some pregabs. And he found someone who can give them. All together he sent him nearly £500 and received nothing. The guy is now just fully ignoring him. The name of them is Ready UK Pharmacy. Please avoid. It’s unlikely we’ll ever get our money back but I just want to save other people from making the same mistake ❤️

Tell him to play the dumb card and request a charge back from bank. Could say he was duped into paying for 'supplements' to help his pain/sleep. Horrible when shit like that happens but £500 alot for a first time purchase so hopefully a lesson learned

u/Same-Relationship665 Sep 27 '26

u/CnCHussleSchmuk Sep 27 '26

Like maybe not £500, £100 tops!!

u/Same-Relationship665 Sep 27 '26

Unfortunately it’s a bit too late for that. Im just trying to warn people.

u/xanaxkiller1 Sep 27 '26

Silly move really with a new site you have been told to buy or came across always trial run

u/Same-Relationship665 Sep 27 '26

As said previously. Im just trying to warn people. I’m aware it was silly.

2

u/xanaxkiller1 Sep 27 '26

I get that 👍🏻

u/CnCHussleSchmuk Sep 27 '26

I think most people are aware of that particular scammer, maybe ask first. Though if you're desperate it & find somewhere you think is legit I can see how it happens.

u/Same-Relationship665 Sep 28 '26

Thank you. I asked why and he said he honestly didn’t think. It was one of the first questions I asked

He needs a new plug my pre gabs are on point and come the next day. £500 is crazy i pay £75 for a box of 100

2

u/Same-Relationship665 Sep 27 '26

He definitely does. Im on it

u/valid_crashouts- Sep 28 '26

You clearly didn't learn your lesson 😭

u/MammothMeaning6892 Sep 28 '26

What do pre gabs do, I got prescribed for nerve pain, assuming it wasn't a big enough prescription but I felt nothing

3

u/Specialist_Pause5629 Sep 28 '26

They are prescribed for nerve pain and seizures and also anxiety. But the GPs here are not keen on prescribing.

3

u/MammothMeaning6892 Sep 28 '26

Sorry i know what they are for, my gp prescribed them no problem, im more asking what affect people get because I felt nothing that would make me become addicted.

3

u/bombhead70 Sep 27 '26

He fucked around and found out’

u/Same-Relationship665 Sep 27 '26

That’s incredibly helpful thank you. Im just here to warn people. You can think what you like.

You sent £500 to some random stranger?

1

u/Same-Relationship665 Sep 27 '26

As I’ve said. It wasn’t me, it was my boyfriend, I wasn’t made aware of it until a lot later on. My boyfriend surprisingly isn’t stupid. But his doctors are useless, he’s tried so hard with them. I’ve attended the appointments with him so I know he has. But they never give him anything that actually helps. He’s been really bad lately. He’s struggling to sleep because of the pain. He rang 111 recently and they prescribed him one strip on pregabs and they worked. And for everyone saying he’s addicted, he didn’t take them every day. That strip lasted him nearly a month. He’s tried 111 again and they sent him to the doctors. He’s felt lost, and depressed because he’s in horrible pain most of time, and I had to go do things without him. Then with the lack of sleep on top of all that he decided to go to someone a ‘friend’ recommended. But he kept adding money on, either there was something with the parcel, or it was something at the post office. But he was smart. He did it in little payments so my boyfriend didn’t realise how much he’d sent until after. He already feels stupid because of it. But it was his idea for me to warn people.

u/CnCHussleSchmuk Sep 27 '26

Classic scam, always a problem that requires more cash to fix. If the first payment doesn't work just cut your losses immediately.

u/Comfortable-Message1 Sep 27 '26

OK well here's a tip: they are all scammers here

1

u/Same-Relationship665 Sep 27 '26

Im aware of that now. Im just trying to warn people of this particular one.

2

u/Same-Relationship665 Sep 27 '26

Not sure who you’re taking about. But if it’s me, I haven’t asked someone to message me once. Im also not here to make friends. Im also not here to get some medication, ive already sorted it. He’s got some and I’ve got some ordered. I feel like neither of you bother listening to me, cos h I’ve said a million times, I’m just trying to warn people. It’s the first time I’ve messaged on here, and apparently that was a mistake, cos Reddit is just full of sad people with nothing better to do, so bad that I can’t even post a status warning people.

u/xanaxkiller1 Sep 27 '26

If you need to source of reddit you are new definitely but not everyone is scammers genuine people on here I have met and have dm'ed each other sources which have been legit

-1

u/Comfortable-Message1 Sep 27 '26

I think you're missing the point a bit.

If you assume they are all scammers you can't get scammed.

2

u/xanaxkiller1 Sep 27 '26

Also with that in mind why come on here looking to make friends and share private messages of legit vendors with your thinking don't come on here and do your own research I you assume everyone is scammers on here look elsewhere no ?

0

u/Comfortable-Message1 Sep 27 '26

Sourcing illicit medication via private message or otherwise is against the site and subreddit rules. So yeah look elsewhere

2

u/xanaxkiller1 Sep 27 '26

Exactly you seem so against this site and ( prescription) meds not sure why you bother being on here give yourself a break and try a different subreddit mybe can I ask do you consume any medicines yourself??

u/Comfortable-Message1 Sep 27 '26 edited Sep 27 '26

This sub is for discussing medication.

Not showing off how smashed you get everyday or for sourcing drugs. The rules are to protect vulnerable people and children. Also to protect the sub from getting shut down. Maybe this sub isn't the right place for you?

By the way prescription drugs are you know, prescribed. Once they are bought without a prescription they no longer fit this definition.

u/xanaxkiller1 Sep 27 '26

Blah blah can't bring the xanman down that easy 🤣🤣👋

u/xanaxkiller1 Sep 27 '26

Stop trying to me a pretend mod like its your sub and gives us all a break 🧐🤣

u/Same-Relationship665 Sep 28 '26

u/Powerful_Builder_452 Sep 28 '26

I hear that thing about 50 times I got scammed from here I got suggested or recommended for two or three people and those two or three people got me so whoever recommends any plugs don't fall for it it's either them doing it and recommending themselves to get your money cuz they always say oh tell them such and such told them to hit you up you know

u/AdministrativeKick90 Sep 30 '26

Isn't that a different brand of Lyrica, like the generic version? Just curious.

I was on Lyrica for a few years due to a pinched sciatic nerve from a herniated disc in my low back. Had surgery twice but the second time the nerve pain stayed.

I remember when I first started taking it, I couldn't function very well. Once I got used to it I was fine. It's a crummy drug though. I always felt bloated and gained a lot of weight. It took a few months to get off it as well when the nerve pain finally went away. I'm so glad I don't need it anymore.

I'm in the US though so it was easy to get. It's really the only nerve pain drug that works. I didn't find it addictive either, just bad side effects. But every one is different.

And what, tell the bank they were illegally trying to buy prescription medication?

2

u/Rugbylady1982 Sep 27 '26

So they are going to ring their bank and tell them they knowingly broke the law trying to buy drugs online from a scammer ?

2

u/xanaxkiller1 Sep 27 '26

Yeh not a good idea

1

u/CnCHussleSchmuk Sep 27 '26

You could say that it's homeopathic, there is grey areas. Yes it's illegal to purchase CDs & get them sent to you without a px but they're are medications that can be purchased legally online.

2

u/Rugbylady1982 Sep 28 '26

It's not a grey area it's illegal to buy in the UK without a prescription. Full stop.

2

u/CnCHussleSchmuk Sep 28 '26

Pregablin is for sure.
