Do vendors research their customers before shipping? Like through Facebook or social networks?

Do vendors ever become suspicious of customers and then refuse to ship? Or pretend to ship?

I recently didn't receive a domestic order and the vendor automatically refunded me but didn't provide tracking info. He said it was returned because of an invalid address, even though he had the correct address. I'm just wondering if he didn't ship it or what.

Regardless of my situation, I still think this is an interesting question for buyers.

If it's a chick, I'll see if she got a FB page to see what thats looking like lol; if it's an affluent address/city, I'll see what type of house they're in on Streetview. Not on some stalker shit, just like to see the diff types of customers I have. From the rich to the average, drugs don't discriminate!

I would imagine they do. Why wouldn't they. They're people. If you had people sending you their address I bet, just out of pure curiosity, you would Google a name or two. Just to see the kind of people that use your drug. There are really weird people out there, and the internet is usually where they hide.

Vendors do this. I'd estimate about 50% of buyers format their address properly. Vendors will sometimes try to verify that the address they received was not a vacant or invalid address (or a UPS mailbox, or a dorm room, etc.) If the address you sent with your order is listed on Zillow for example, you're using a vacant house or forwarding your mail. Not good. Blacklisted.

The amount of customers on DNM's who can't format their address is disturbing. If you can't format an address, chances are you're a moron and you can take your business elsewhere.

I think the vendor just used that as an excuse for forgetting to ship your order. If it was a legit return to sender, most vendors would just keep your money and say you gave them a bunk address and it's not their fault. As long as they have proof of tracking, it would definitely hold up in a dispute.

It would be shitty OPSec, but it's possible. If I was the FBI, I could order from a Vendor, then refuse to finalize and taunt the vendor into finding me on Facebook. There will be a link on said Facebook page labeled Dick-Pics, and anyone who clicks it gets a virus and a trace-back.

If they are using tails at a Starbucks then they'll likely safe, but it's still a stupid move, when they were completely hidden behind a market.

When you're fucking about with the markets, it's 'best practice' to assume they do. Good opsec doesn't end with nutting out PGP.

Seems dangerously close to saving addresses, which im sure most vendors do anyway bc who would know besides them?

One of the major drawbacks to drugs in the mail.

No

If they googled our names and looked us up that would only tie them to us more (I.e. if someone looked at thier computer history). So that would only incriminate them.

Just use your real name. Trust me.

Yes, a good amount do front end screens as competitors have shipped orders to: church's, mall's, LEA locations, etc...

It depends on your volume and the size of your balls.
