Well, with the recent downtime, obviously a few idiots have decided to try their luck scamming on BMR, usually using a respected vendors name from here and details.
Perhaps a list of vendors who definitely aren't on BMR and are just imposters would save a few BTC for people? Would also be good if the vendor confirmed that it was him too.
I'll start with BUDWORX UK,
Saw a listing claiming to be him, only half the price he sells coke here.

A couple of things I have noticed.
t would be easier to list the good vendors ;)
They have a forum, use it.
They seem to have a problem leaving reviews (buyers). They even don't leave reviews on free stuff. Sounds familiar?
I think SR vendors should protect their name. Bajazero had to warn readers of the BMR forums. There was a user using his name.
There have been a few reported scams. I see some known vendors, but not sure until encrypted messages are returned.
It's basically starting over. Start slow, check things out, READ. Yes it's different, so be careful!
Some of us need a backup plan.

Well that's what I mean, could list vendors who will definitely rip you off, or are copies of our famous vendors, IE budworx I posted above. Saw loads of others too.
Then again hopefully noone will have to go there now :)

Yes, that is a very frustrating to see that someone stole our name and then started scamming people, we earn t that trust and they started to shit on it. A good way to check if its actually us is our PGP key, we are the only ones that can reply to it, as we are the only ones to have that private key.
Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery, but not in this case...
