Anyone else noticing vendors giving away kik, etc?

Has anyone else noticed this trend where vendors are starting to give away their kik, wickr, and other "private" social media usernames? Sometimes even their clearnet email or phone number! What gives? They're just giving LE one more place to look at and subpoena, increasing the odds of an arrest.

Stick to manual PGP over Tor while VPN'd, shit.

I just assume they are LE tbh :/. It's such a mindless OPSEC flaw that it just gives the 'honeypot' label in my eyes.

I've seen a lot of these vendors on dream that give kik, phone numbers, gmail accounts, etc.. and almost all the ones I've seen are obvious scammers. They often claim to sell every drug under the sun, their pictures are obviously just from google or something and they often have fake feedback. It also looks like theyve copied another vendors profile and substituted words where necessary. There's a lot of these on dream, could even be the same person in many cases.

Scammers or not, if you see a vendor using kik or similar public bullshit, don't even think about ordering from them.

Idk most people don't mind a nice bed and 3 meals a day, I used kik and Facebook I could use opsec but not many people care about a few month in jail unless they are making millions that's when you want to protect what u have

Those are usually real people that think they are untouchable.. and have balls of steel.. unless it's a honeypot for retards.. but stay away from those fuckers. Because you don't want to be the one they run up on, when they do run up on them. Because they are going to. I can see two feds high fiving each other every time they see one of those ads. Almost makes me wanna be a cop, they just make it too easy.

Saw one just now where the vendor put his cell # and gmail haha. Wtf are some people thinking.

Definitely would stay far away from a vendor who posts that kind of info. Another reason why it's important to read through listings and profiles before buying as you could find out the person you were about to cop from is a freakin idiot.

How exactly are they unsafe if you're using pgp?
