Title: Does this sound legit?
Post by: Shaker1013 on June 12, 2013, 10:33 pm
This is a message I received on the main site from a domestic vendor.

So the other day after I confirmed your order as shipped but right before my shipping labels printed our computer crashed.

What this means for you is we have no addresses.

All orders are packed and ready to go so soon as we have your address we can ship it out immediately.

However due to the system crash I no longer have access to my PGP private key and can't decrypt PGP messages for the time being til I get a new key setup.


So please plain text your address if you want us to continue the order.

If this is to much of a security issue for you we understand just let us know and we'll cancel the order then.

I'd wait it out if I were you.

Shit happens, so it's possible. There's no way I'd send my address in the clear though. Best to wait for a new pgp key imho.

wait it out or ask them to cancel the order and place it elsewhere. could be totally legit but it sounds shady and is against safety guideline anyway so i wouldnt do it. who is the vendor?
