I am getting messages from vendors I haven't done any business with offering me deals for products I routinely buy. How do they know what I am buying? I don't reveal what I routinely buy in the forums, I don't share my buying history with anyone, except for vendors I do business with and even then they should only be able to see my stats, right? What am I not aware of?
enlightenment greatly appreciated.
-
No, at least, not that I am aware of. I only see dollar and percentage statistics.
This is alarming, you may want to notify the staff. Or at least, I'd be concerned.
-
I will contact SR Support. I did some searching after my post and I saw there are vendors offering for sale to other vendors some method of seeing a buyers stats even if they haven't been contacted by the buyer. They don't say anything about order history, just stats. I'll keep looking.

No, no-one can see your history but you and admin. Can you post some (edited) examples of these messages mate?

I deleted the other one but it was from a vendor who exclusively sells a product that I order very often. Of my 46 purchases 34 of them are for the product the vendor sells , and that is the only product he sells. I looked at his listings and profile but didn't order from him because I didn't like what I saw.
Got this one after buying BTC with reload card. And I got it long before the vendor filled up the forum with their lame ad.

I think you should change your password immediately, you very well could of had been hacked.

Good advice, thanks!
And thanks for the offer of help. I will take you up on it if I do need help.

mabey the vendor has more than 1 account

I think it is merely coincidence. I routinely get messages claiming to be selling cheap cocaine/btc. If you set your forum account to not show others when you are online you will probably stop getting these messages.

This happens to me all the time to the point i was going to start a thread and ask are any other constantly bothered by these. It's usually from completely new account without much or any posts. And i can see these messages/spams are sent to others as well. I often get same two times as well. Am i unlucky or are others getting these as much as i do...
