I have informations that Operation Pangea V will start next week!
If you dont know what Operation Pangea is:
http://www.interpol.int/Crime-areas/Pharmaceutical-crime/Operations/Operation-Pangea
"
Operation Pangea is an international week of action tackling the online sale of counterfeit and illicit medicines and highlighting the dangers of buying medicines online. Coordinated by INTERPOL, the annual operation brings together customs, health regulators, national police and the private sector from countries around the world.
Activities target the three principal components used by illegal websites to conduct their trade – the Internet Service Provider (ISP), payment systems and the delivery service.
The operation has gained significant momentum since its launch in 2008. The first phase of the operation brought together 10 countries, with the number rising to more than 80 in 2011.
"
TO ALL BUYERS/VENDORS:
I highly recommend stop ordering/seding from now on and resume after Operation Pangea.
-
Well, looks like it's main focus in on prescription drugs from online vendors.. thats not to say this site is not a target.. but the profiling on packages sent by anyone other than prominent prescription drug vendors won't be as visible. i may be wrong, but most prescription drug vendors don't use our payment method.. and they are notoriously international.
with that said, i'm still going to take it easy next week. I don't think they will announce a sr operation.

it is not my first post here, im not a new member here, just lost my password so i got a new account to post this answer.
Anonymou5 is just right !!!!!
I CAN JUST REPEAT WHAT HE SAY:
TO ALL BUYERS/VENDORS:
!!! I highly recommend stop ordering/seding from now on and resume after Operation Pangea. !!!!!
google for: Operation Pangea

maybe the Admins will push or pin this post?
-
So exactly when does operation Pangea end? And how would they target active buyers and sellers on SR?
-
exactly? sorry but i don´t work at Interpol ;-) in recent years, the action was about one week. you can read everything here:
http://www.interpol.int/Crime-areas/Pharmaceutical-crime/Operations/Operation-Pangea
And how would they target active buyers and sellers on SR? > same way like buyers of "illegal medicines" maybe scanners, etc. i don´t now, buy fact is they will.
Pills are pills u now what i mean ;-)
I am sorry that this is so little interested. especially the admins, why they don´t push or pin this post?
-
i lost an order to pangea iv last year . considering its country of origin, it never had a chance with that going on the same week.
-
I wonder how much of this operation simply consists of fear tactics and spreading the message.

Operation Pangea generally consists of a week where international customs and postal inspectors work overtime trying to intercept drugs in the mail.

Thanks for the heads up

push

Domestic shipments will be fine. Don't spread FUD unless you know what you're talking about.
-

ISP: Tor hides this
Payment Systems: BTC hides this
Delivery Service: Packaging is suppose to hide this.
So OP your suggesting we just throw in the towell for one week every year?
I highly recommend you GTFO

It's a tough universe out there - full of people trying to do you, screw you, rip you off. If you're going to survive out there, you've always got to know where your towel is.
-
Anyone think domestic shipping within an EU country will be affected by this at all? I should think not, what do you guys think?
-

That's what I was wondering. If they really wanted to increase their busts, why announce it like that? Then again, I see that happen all the time. Checkpoints are announced in the newspaper. In fact, it's a requirement by law, so you can almost always get around them. Likewise, sometimes local police departments get grants to crack down on underage drinking or drinking and driving when college classes start or around Halloween, and that's always announced.
Because if they actually "Cracked down on crime"then the crime statistics would go through the roof, and the ruling government of that time would look terrible in the history books
-
I think the worst thing to do being a vendor would be to dramatically change behaviour during this period, like stopping everything.
If they have an eye on you in any way and you suddenly cease or decrease busineess in in any degree, whether connected to a legit
business or not, would bring more attention to you, that's half the reason for the 'announcement', i believe.
-
I dont like this! >:(

This was posted on the 21st, so Pangea should be active right now. I wonder how much of a priority SR is during this. If we're being targeted that is bad news and good news. This could put a lot of people in jail and might hurt the darknet, but it would also prove that we are causing some problems for LE and they are getting worried. "First they ignore you, then they ridicule you, then they fight you, then you win." Gandhi
Not sure what the best approach would be to combat such an extensive operation. If its possible to conduct business unaffected then I think that would be the way to go, hopefully LE will realize the futility of these operations. However, if this actually poses a threat then I think going turtle would be the best move, just to minimize damage to the darknet marketplace. Either way, if there is more info about this I would certainly like to read it. I guess we'll soon find out if anything comes of this.

Sorry, what u say is just BULLSHIT !
OPERATION PANGEA V IS STARTED !!!!
-
OPERATION PANGEA V IS STARTED ! good luck everyone.
-
I read this whole farce as LE doing the dirty of the real global 'drug' dealers; the pharmaceutical companies. What better use of tax money is there then to knock out the competition and regain market share?
Poor Africans want counterfeits from China and can't afford it from first world supplier's instead..................................... FUCK EM'
Just read an article today in AUS that a so-called licensed supplier of Viagra released a batch that killed 19 people..........................Fuck and they tell us XTC could kill us??
This world is truly going to shit.

The other link didn't work for me. Here is a good one:

-
I got some benzos with massive delay form the UK to EU and had a nice littel sticker on it "Zollfrei" =)
Guess I had luck on this, but the shipping time was over 3 Weeks.
-
Well, thanks for the heads up! Although one of my orders came through yesterday, no worries! (sent end of last week from EU country to UK).
I have another order in process, but might hold off new ones for the next week! ;o)
-
i placed a order with djabbar, but since he takes 2-3 weeks to process and deliver. operation tiny dick will be long over.
As said its a RX crackdown, it will slow mail, but doubt it will affect small packets and cant affect regular envelopes, which ships thousands of fucking benzos in a envelope?
If your box dont sound like a maraca, try not to worry, badass is just a stirring troll

Dates: 20 – 27 September 2011
Participating countries: 81 in total
Results:
2.4 million illicit and counterfeit pills confiscated;
Estimated value: USD 6.3 million;
Almost 13,500 websites shut down;
Some 45,500 packages inspected by regulators and customs authorities, of which almost 8,000 were seized;
Some 55 individuals are currently under investigation or under arrest for a range of offences, including illegally manufacturing, selling and supplying unlicensed or prescription-only medicines.
Investigations are continuing and the final results from Operation Pangea IV will be released upon their conclusion..
-
I've only read of one vendor having a package intercepted Alllove and it is probably just coincidence that this happened around the start of OPERATION BULLSHIT I think this is just law enforcement doing Big pharmacy's bidding, rooting out counterfeits and product that they are not being paid for.....

" This Tread should be a sticky !! " yeah but sr admins are dont want the business is disrupted. you might think.
-

-

Is this operations is worldwide / only on certain continents?

viagra and other benzos shipped in a envelope would be over 5mm thick, this would then be classed as a packet not a envelope, different for mailing, a regular DL sized envelope that looks like normal mail at the very most get slightly delayed, you and baddass are the deluded stirring trolls.
Your quite right every suspect package can be seized, but the sellers trick is to sent it descreet eg not suspect!
we take your concerns now go away.
-
Maybe that would be a good week to flood the postal services with BS decoy packages!
-
thankfull officer DB didnt get my g of crystal m :P safe and sound :)

Hey guy´s trust over_done_soup ! he´s the man ! He now´s everything ! maybe to much?
google for PANGEA and INTERPOL for ur self, and think about it. DONT TRUST IDIOTS !

Maybe there is something to it. last month I lost two deliveries (intercepted by customs) from two different locations. One vendor is very meticulous about safety and still the letter was lost. Before I received some deliveries with packing not that good.

Operation Pangea wasnt in action last month....

They won't because commissions will drop if sales do
-
My package arrived a couple of days later than usual. Should I attribute this to mail being slower these weeks in general, or is there a chance of my vendor (or me) being investigated?
I've had no notifications, but it doesn't hurt to be a little paranoid.

Was it domestic or international? What country?

International, West EU. It's on the list allright.
