I want to address something openly with my Bloom Theory family because transparency matters to me. I was originally asked to help connect people with oil vendors because I had relationships with multiple vendors and had personally used them. I agreed because I genuinely want people to have access to things like TRT and HRT when accessing them through traditional avenues can be difficult. And when I say I vet vendors, I do not mean I place one $100 order and suddenly tell everyone they’re trustworthy. I vet for MONTHS. Multiple purchases. Multiple deliveries. Consistent communication. Watching other people’s experiences. Building an actual history before I ever feel comfortable putting my name behind someone. One particular vendor, Winifred, was no different. I personally received two purchases and a gift from her. Everything arrived. Other people I knew had successful orders as well. Based on the history I had with her, I believed she was safe to use. Then something changed. Whether she intentionally disappeared, someone gained access to her account, or something else happened, I truly do not know. What I do know is that three people ultimately placed orders and did not receive what they paid for. That absolutely breaks my heart. I have already replaced one person’s order out of my own pocket. I am currently working on replacing the second, and I intend to take care of the third as well. I am not doing that because I took their money. I am not doing it because I was part of a scam. And I am not doing it because I am somehow responsible for another adult choosing to disappear. I am doing it because I was the person who said, “I have personally used this vendor and had successful experiences,” and I never want someone who trusted that experience to feel abandoned afterward. That situation is exactly WHY I spend so much time vetting people. Unfortunately, working in a gray market carries risks that none of us can completely eliminate. Someone can operate legitimately for months and then suddenly change. That does not make every person who previously trusted or recommended them a scammer.
