Before I begin, I must say that I AM NOT TRYING TO BAD MOUTH THIS GUY. I just have some suspicions that I want peoples input on.
So I saw this sample listing for a new vendor. and I noticed that the listing said
"I will choose a few people to send samples out to... plus the people that have got pm from me about the samples"
So I decided to do some research before I purchased. and there are a couple of things that struck me as odd.
1) He said that he PMed people about it (makes me wonder if the people that were PMed were all vendors/high profile SR members)
2) He says he is a new vendor but the account says hes been here for 10 months
3) he hasn't been active in several months and then he just pops up with this (you usually spend a few months in jail before you can make a plea and get out).
4) his last post was asking about how to set up tor and everything else on a mac and I LOATHE Macintosh/Apple for many legitimate reasons. And I wouldn't put it past them to have something (hardware or software) built into their computers that monitored and flagged this kind of activity.
5) He has 100% feedback from 4 transactions and "21 fans!!!" Those numbers don't make sense and there is no feedback for even those 4 transactions.
So with this information in hand I put on my tinfoil hat and meditated on various possibilities.
The worst case scenario I have thought of is that this person was busted purchasing a large amount and struck a deal to pose as a vendor and get some addresses. I tried to PM him (to see if I was eligible for a sample) only minutes after the listing was posted but have yet to hear anything back.
So would anyone like to enlighten me about this persons history/legitimacy here. And would anybody that recieved a PM from him like to speak up so we can see if he is targeting the big guys here. (I see that 2 people have already taken a bite so it would be nice if those people responded as well)
I know that I could just be being paranoid but look around, we all have plenty of reasons to be paranoid here.
-
Seems logical.
-
Yes it does. But I still need more info before I can confirm my hypothesis.
If you know about the "bumblebees are physically unable to fly" story than you know that what seems logical is not always what is actually true.
-
It pays to be paranoid. To many people do not critique and do their due diligence.
+1 for doing your homework whether right or wrong about them.
-
+1 from me.
Stay safe guys and be very careful who you deal with. As with everything research before ordering. Make sure you know your vendor is legit and will provide.
Dank

There was also a guy called Jungle Spice who appeared very recently PMing people to give out samples.
He had like 4 transactions and a few fans.
Then before he is to send out orders but after he's already got addresses, he closes his profile and posts "BEEN BUSTED WILL BE BACK IN A FEW MONTHS"
Now this may well be true, but it does seem fucking suspicious.
-
Thanks for everyone's input on this subject. But I am still curious as to who he sent those PMs too and what they said. It would also help to hear from the two people that did purchase.
-
I highly doubt LE are interested in the addresses of everyday drug users, and if they are it's only an end to a means to find the dealers. It's vendors who need to be worried. A vendor should never ever ever purchase something using their vendor account and real address.
-
That's what I was getting at and i wonder if any of the vendors or high profile characters here received a PM from this person.
-
Yes it does. But I still need more info before I can confirm my hypothesis.

If your information is correct then I would say that certain things stand out about the vendor in question and that at the very least I would avoid contact with this vendor. Its hard for us to figure out what this guy is up to exactly. Alot of misinformation is generated within our community when members jump to incorrect conclusions.
OP, it seems like you may think this vendor is a cop and you suspect he may be looking to gather information and addresses using his vendor status for some kind of legal purposes or actions. Its good that you are on the lookout and this post was made with good intentions but I suggest not jumping to conclusions. AKGOOFY might be a cop but nither of us know. AKGOOFY could be a bad vendor, a scammer, a cop, etc etc.. Its not clear what AKGOOFY hopes to accomplish but it is clear that his actions are not typical of most vendors. Great job OP finding this out of the ordinary vendor, he may be an issue brewing.
-
I never intended to jump to any conclusions and I even said that I am not trying to bad mouth him in my OP. I was simply posing a hypothesis to the community because something smelled fishy and I researched it before hitting the"add to cart" button.
But I would like to say that I appreciate the validation that I have received from you all for reporting this suspicious activity. I try to help this wonderful community in any way I that I can.
-
That was a really good read DR.Gonzo, cheers mate! - as a newer member it was a nice reminder not to get carried away in this wonderland.
Perhaps Limitless should send him an invite to the forums? - his way with words are truly second too none.
-
I agree. It would be nice to see akgoofy come on here and explain himself a little. As well as see how limitless feels about this.
-
Just posting to say thanks for doing your homework. It's nice to have people like you around watching out for the community as well as yourself.
-
I am new too, and i just bought some papers and zags, and i saw his ads, and bought 1, now im worried this guy is a FED, cuz he doesnt reply to anything i send him and he has read the messages i have sent, damn
SR should cancel this guy account or something.
-
If it is the feds and you TRULY are new here. than you probably don't have much to worry about aside from getting your address flagged. but since he already has your address I would wait it out and see what happens. if you do get something from him DO NOT OPEN IT IMMEDIATELY. But instead mark it as "RETURN TO SENDER: UNREQUESTED" and set it somewhere inconspicuous for at least 24 hours (pile of junk mail on the counter, or pile of outgoing mail).
If you nobody kicks your door in (which I doubt they would over such a trivial amount unless you live somewhere with draconian drug laws) than let us know how it went.
If you never receive anything by the 14th day or so (3 days left before auto-finalization) Than I would click resolve and request a 100% refund and put a link to this thread in the comments section.
Either way.....let us know how it goes so that we can better ascertain this persons true motives.
Best of Luck to you and please refrain from purchasing from new and enticing vendors in the future without first researching the shit out of them.

So this guy finally PMed me back and asked for 2 BTC and he would send me a sample. That quite a bit more than the original listing was for. So I told him:
"I am sorry but I must recommend that you alert your attention to the following threads that has been made in community forums regarding you as a vendor here. And if you wish to become a legitimate SR dealer I HIGHLY RECOMMEND that you join the community forum ASAP and explain some things about yourself."
and when i went to get the link for this thread I couldn't find it in the SR discussion forum (Sorry to the mods for posting in the wrong place) So i did a search for his name to find this thread and I found some older threads about him that I missed in my first investigation. Which seem to confirm that HE IS NOT TO BE TRUSTED.

Hey everyone im new to the forums and fairly new on SR with 20+ successful transactions 0 RR and 0 AF i feel as if i am a trusted buyer. I recently placed two orders for samples from akgoofy. after placing my orders i decided to do my research like a dumbass. (think first jump second) well I obviously came across this thread and also brought it to his attention that he is being speculated as a scammer in the forums. he told me to find out for myself and told me he will fill my orders asap for his samples purple haze and big bud. I will be updating with any news on these transactions hoping my door doesnt get kicked in. hah
peace, mclovin478910

Hello, AKGOOFY,
I am glad that you finally decided to stop on by and vouch for yourself. Could you please explain what exactly transpired between you and the people that have posted about you in this thread (specifically Blowinkush84 and redforeva):
http://dkn255hz262ypmii.onion/index.php?topic=7659.msg69197#msg69197
@metaphoe: I am glad that your transaction with AKGOOFY was successful but i would still like to hear from a more trusted member about their experiences with this person (no offense but you have a very low post count and could easily be a schill account created by the vendor himself)
-
:) thanks if anything Doc, im a college student, and i had my doubts when ordered, it freaked me out, after what other "vendors" put, and i was like thinking, "maybe they're right" , so i ended up ordering thinking , wait let me talk to him first i shot him a message, and bam ! He spoke honest
-
Metaphoe and AKgoofy - Clearly the same person ::)
-
Until I see proof too the otherwise......Im gonna have to agree with you war. Not to mention the drastic change in his verbal skills from one post post to the next.
-
Definitely the same exact (fuckedup) person.
-
Have spoken with ak again asking for dcn just to see if he actually sent a package at all and said he will have a response by Tuesday morning. I hoped that ment i might receive something today. well obviously i didnt but hope i can retrieve a dcn from him. sucks waiting and hoping somehow hes not going to scam me but its looking as if its to good to be true. will report back if dcn is givin and shows a shipment or if/when i receive a package from him.
-
this reminds me of the "dmt samples by anseladams" deal a few weeks back...
i didn't really think twice since my fav only (really) trusted dmt guy disappeared for a minute, and put in a req for a sample.
then like a genius i mixed my leftovers with the new batch, which was chalk or crack or some crazy shit.
or just really terrible quality dmt.
and now this guy has been awol forever :S
.........
dear police: i just want to get high. i dont bother anyone. i pay exorbitant taxes. let me get high, and i won't fuck with you for no reason so we all win?

Stumbled across this thread and firstly I have to say I get such a fucking boner when I am talked about without me knowing it. 8) Ahhhh you guys really know how to make me feel dead spesh. :P
Anyway having read through it I would avoid this guy like he was A.I.D.S, no point taking the chance. Think about it like this, would you unzip your trousers, pull out your cock and then put it in a door frame and then slam it to see if it would hurt? Personally, I would not. I know some of you sick sadistic mother fuckers might do but just try and do it so you are just slamming a door on your cock and not risking your freedom.
The only plausible explanation I can think of is that he bought his account ages ago and left it for a while but then, why would spend £90 odd quid and then not start trading straight away? Unless you name was Helen Keller or something and it took you 10 months to find the keyboard. Who the fuck knows?
-
Oh and there is one very important thing everyone should know about Helen Keller.......she a BAD ASS MO' FOCKA!

Having just read that back I think that is quite witty baring in mind I haven't slept and I'm a bit fucked. I'm giving myself a pat on the back for effort there.
-
Na' WAR, im really just me, a college student from down south, and i thought Goof was a scamer, cuz i sent bitcoins direct to him because i was off a lil' and when i read the forums i tripped out, if i was GOOFY i wouldnt even try to use another name while on can easily be online while the other isn't
