Avoid vendor youngfamily, increasing reports of selective scamming - possible exit scam?

My Story: youngfamily stole $115 from me. I ordered on 11/01/2016 but have received nothing since. I was told it was shipped on 14/01/2016, this was a lie. I've given him every chance to settle this privately but now the vendor is completely ignoring me.

There has been a marked increase in the number of scam reports from this user in the past 1-2 months, I've found 10 other users who have been scammed and lied to like me and I'm sure there are more. A previous post on reddit has already highlighted this issue but it seems as if the vendor is still playing dirty: https://www.reddit.com/r/DarkNetMarkets/comments/42r9ar/vendor_youngfamily_selective_scamming_returning

Potential customers of youngfamily - this is a warning, there is a high chance you will not receive your order from this vendor!

I'm offering a reward for any info on this guy (return address, social media, non-DN contact etc), PM me

Cheapthrills aka youngfamily aka monetka aka knowhow aka budget aka classb aka probably more names coming soon.

This guy (or guys) have been running scams since agora, search Cheapthrills and look into it, there was a thread which clearly shows the similarities in products and communications, those similarities are still running to date with the above vendors names.

If you guys aren't willing to do your research and have a bit of common sense about you then unfortunately you deserve to get scammed.

same fucker sent me an 1/8th instead of a 1/4. is this on alphabay? alphabay admins are running a scam with uk vendors, we assumed youngfamily were admins themselves along with saintsymbiosis and therightstuff

They have been banned on Nucleus (along with Monetka, but I'd be surprised if they were the same person, comms were a lot different).

I was a big fan of YF's Tangerine Dream pre-Jan, service and product quality were both excellent. Felt to me it was more like a small vendor who got popular and couldn't cope, which was a shame.

Btw, if someone else in the UK wants to start growing/vending that Tangerine Dream, I'm looking for a new source!

Why is this marked as NP? If markets are banning them there must be proof..

He is now banned on Tochka.

I gather due to timing/listing that they're the same vendor as monetka (who's just been banned on AB).

I luckily managed to get a refund and got sent some bunk stuff, but seems like they've scammed a ton of people.

Thanks for report. Why didn't use multisig or market escrow?


[1 Points] crakbenz:

He is already banned on dreammarket and nucleus.

So lucky. Day the reports started coming in if ordered an oz of them. It showed, but I'm pretty sure the scam reports are real now.
