Update on 7/20/17 in the AM;
Looks like the trouble is not over yet. I have gotten access back to the account, but the PIN /u/SpeedStepper provided is incorrect. So I cannot take new orders until my PIN is fixed. All orders placed under the scammer will be shipped immediately for those who encrypted with my pgp key. Those who did not im waiting for you to respond with my vendor PGP key so that I can get your shipping info.
End update.
I have just updated my profile with the following signed message with my original Green-Machine vendor key: https://paste2.org/k5GvbW4U
It says:
I am filled with joy to announce that I have gained access back to my account from Dream support as of this wednesday evening on July 19th! To verify this signature import the official Green-Machine key from Grams that has been my key since day 1 vending over 3 years ago. You can find that here: grams7enufi7jmdl.onion/vendor/Green-Machine
If you already have my old key you should have no issues verifying this signature. You may check if its the real me by simply verifying this signature and sending me a pgp message encrypted with my old key. You can also see my pgp key is now updated to my old key and is no longer the scammers key.
I will be playing catch up and getting ready to ship everyones order that was placed since last sunday! I am so extremely sorry to all my customers for the delay but some of you will start receiving your packs on saturday and the rest monday-wednesday depending on USPS. Im happy to break my normal no tracking policy in advance and to provide all customers their tracking number after its shipped so you have proof that it is coming!
I wont have tracking for all pending orders until tomorrow evening when I get back from dropping all of your packs. So please drop me a message if needed and I will respond by end of day thursday with tracking.
Thank you to all my customers who reported the account for me! I think it actually helped get the situation resolved faster.
I think it is really important that we bring attention to the fact that in the end Dream support came through. Yes, I lost about $10,000 on this mistake. So that scammer made out like a bandit on my account. But I will be shipping all of the pending orders tomorrow so every single customer that ordered while the scammer was in control of my account will be made whole.
I would like to thank everyone here who reported my vendor account while it was under the scammers control. I think that did help because yesterday I no longer got a bad password error and started getting a cannot login error indicating that they had locked the account. So even though support was not working at the speed I wanted them to, they did do their jobs in the end and I am very thankful for it.
This is also a good time to point out that since I lost hope in support after they went silent for days, I ended up paying the requested 0.2 btc ransom to the scammer. He did not respond and did not honor his end of the bargain. I really did not expect him too but I thought it was at least worth a shot. I have seen scammers give control of phised accounts back after ransoms were paid and had hoped this scammer was a little more on the honorable side. He was not.
Thanks to all and looking forward to never clicking links again. A very expensive learning lesson indeed.
No one should buy from this guy anyway due to the fact he's a moron. He is a liability to his customers he managed to get phished so what other rookie mistakes has he made. My advice is STAY CLEAR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
