I'm a vendor who used to defend Dream. Not anymore.

In the past, I've spoken openly and loudly in defense of Dream and other markets where I felt they were the target of FUD, slander, and whatever else. I will continue to do so with markets other than Dream and I still don't buy the sidebar 'proof'.

However, with the numerous other posts I've been seeing here the past few days--added to my own situation--the similarities are troubling and difficult to ignore. I haven't been able to withdraw any funds for over two weeks. I have a fairly long back-and-forth with their support person(s) simply requesting that I 'be patient' and that the admin is 'very busy'. To top that off, my support ticket was closed yesterday with no resolution. I filed another and was asked yet again to be 'patient'. I've seen some other vendors also mentioning they're in the same situation (and have had the problem longer than me).

I absolutely hate having to say this, and it irks me to throw my lot in with the 'sky is falling' crowd, but I've come to the conclusion that we're in the prelude to an exit scam. I suppose if I were to pull one as a market, now-ish would be a great time given the huge jumps in BTC's value lately. If it turns out to be true, it won't even be an overly-clever one. Naturally, don't take my word alone for it. If you pour through my posting history, I doubt you'll find anything that could remotely be called market-biased or FUD. But still, I'm just another anonymous Internet user, so take what I say with a grain of salt.

UPDATE: After three weeks, Dream support finally solved the problem and I was able to successfully withdraw funds. I still have zero intention of sticking up for them again...because that's some god-awful, shitty customer service.

Goddamn the markets are a fuckin disaster these days...

I hope people are remembering that Evolution did this before their exit scam. Certain vendors were not able to withdraw for a week or two, before they finally shut down withdrawals for all users about a day before they exit scammed for good.

Operation PAY Attention to ME

.. is currently underway with Dream Market being held for ransom by a sophisticated hacking group - known (and feared) across the interwebz as "Cosa Nostra".

Dream Market is being DDOS'd by a powerful array of 20 connected server systems. This attack is for the safety and betterment of the community and will continue until the SpeedJumper admin acquiesces to our dem…

ahh, fuck it all nobody gives a shit! damnit!! ..
i fucking quit -


[13 Points] throwitawaybiatch123:

I beleive this occurred on every market and will continue. Selective mod vendor scamming. Also vendor scamming which is a much higher rate. That will always exist with dnm using escrow.

You have to wait patiently and shut up while we exit scam, okay? That's basically what they told you without saying it.

I said this last week. No way so meone got my pin. I 100% believe it was staff. Let people will continue to use dream until it goes under. I told a vendor on dream to set a DD. He said lets deal here first then in private. dumbass

I haven't been on dream in about 2 months and it's telling me login unsuccessful. The username and password were written down and are definitely correct

edit: They deleted my account, user not found

Your word means nothing to me Pam... lol joking bud but that sucks I really hopebthe best for you and the others. I know how hard it is to bunker down and say it was a good run but this is the game and it's a vicious one. Gotta be cautious in a world like this man.

Ever since dream came to fruition I said this was bull.


[3 Points] excusemepleas3:

excuse me when i ask, are you the vendor printerpam on dream?

either the stats on dream are totally fucked, but well..you shouldnt bother, try to get your vendor bond back and go on..that is the biggest thing you could lose

btw..you got removed of the scammer list @ /r/fakeid already?


[2 Points] TailsEndlessCapcha:

if i ran dream, i'd just double the commission rate and say "suck it. where else ya gonna go? huh? huh?"

instead it looks like it might be exit scam by slow bleed


[2 Points] bigOILvendor:

bigOIL is awfully confused. After Hansa went down, we posted in our profile about direct orders. ever since, we've been able to log into our Dream account. but our listings aren't showing in search results.

we have asked Support several times to reinstate us. to no avail. soooo. makes you wonder. why ban a vendor like us that provides some good potential escrow revenue(read: exit scam proceeds).

if they're scamming.? cant figure it out.


[1 Points] Xerxero:

Or le has control over it and want to keep the money.


[1 Points] ecstasais:

Someone please ping one of sub's moderators. I just posted an update on my findings about Dream Market, but the freaking bot is holding my post hostage and tells me to contact admins, which I did!


[1 Points] Annjx:

That is why a decentralized market system is needed.

I think this is taken for granted at this point but thanks for chiming in !

Haven't seen your name since AB days


[0 Points] JETSETLlFE:

We are done with Dream also, enough with the bullshit and hassles. Anyone want to contact us can on our wickr (jetsetlife123). Dream is dead to us. Markets situation is so fucked right now, pray for the DNM


[0 Points] theJAZZ3204:

It isn't an exit scam. LE took control and they're probably taking all of your money as we speak and getting prepared for a huge bust. I give Dream a week. I say clean your house thouroughly and be prepared for a knock on the door..

If you're an opiate vendor though I sincerely hope they arrest your ass


[1 Points] TransitMarket:

OP saw our post as spam. In respect of mr /u/_PrinterPam_ we will remove this answer.
