So, over the past few days I've encountered many new vendors across various markets. Many of these vendors have an exceptional looking product at reasonable (not too cheap) prices. All of their listings are escrow. Mostly bulk orders and only a few, if any feedback.
Here on the sub, there are reports of some of these vendors having great comms with users, until after they purchase, then very little or no comms. They never even ship a package. Because btc is in escrow, the OP's open disputes and get their money back.
My thought is this, could this be a new tactic employed by LE as a way to obtain buyer info? Are they tired of playing whack-a-mole with the markets and have now set their sites on buyers? Clearly with all the bust and seizures, they have switched gears.
I know this is better suited for tin foil Tuesday or on the paranoia sub, but the reply's wouldn't be as colorful as the one's givin by this fantastic group. Answering like the guy with big hair from "Ancient Aliens" is much appreciated.
Gotta keep your head on a swivel. Stay safe my peeps.
A good way to avoid this is stick with reputtable vendors who have been around for a bit and are FOR SURE sending out product that people are loving. Thats what I have done, and it hasnt failed me yet. Sometimes I want to try a new vendor but Its just not really worth it when their are so many clearly real quality vendors selling what I want
