Possible Exit Scam?: Hydropoid

Preliminary note: I am only writing this because I was considering trying out this vendor, then overnight he slashed several of his prices (the cough syrup by $150 dollars - not the item I was interested in), and he now requires FE for all transactions, whereas yesterday he did not. Furthermore, he claims to have lots of "new goodies" and a new supplier. The red flag is up for me...please make your own informed decision.

Since there is so much uncertainty around Agora currently, it's best to keep your guard up when vendors suddenly get new products and require FE at the same time.

His feedback is speckled as of late with some people claiming no shows of items ordered in recent history, that's why his recent repricing and move to FE only is concerning. I hope that this vendor pulls through for everyone who FE's, and I'm completely wrong. Time will tell.

From his Vendor page: "UPDATE: I have a ton of new goodies, I have found a new supplier and things are looking much better this way, way more to choose from."

"UPDATE: Please FE, every other vendor has started requiring it and I have a lot of funds tied up in escrow, you can check my feedback it should be enough to show you that you will recieve your package asap. Thanks (NOW REQUIRED ON ALL LISTINGS)"

I searched his name here on r/darknetmarkets today and the one post was concerning customers not receiving their orders.

Peace.

Perhaps this gentleman OP can be telling the truth, and have been wronged by the vendor. The feedback and a few days will tell...

I dont know about all that maybe he is maybe he isn't, sometimes when vendors become established they require FE.

All i can say is that his stealth was the worst ive ever seen, all it was was some pills thrown into a parcel with some bubble wrap, i could literally here the pills rattling around in them.

I about shit my pants that day.

Definitely agree with you it looks like he is exit scamming. This is speculation of course, but he has added 20 listings all waaaay underpriced and half the listings have no pictures and barely any description. Also, noone on his feedback has confirmed he has shipped anything in the past 9 days.

Yea, this reads exit scam. Between the lower than market value prices(for me locally), and the excuses for requiring FE, I would wait at least 10 days to see if all those sketchy "FE will update" turn to something else. If you look at the profile, hydropoid says he needs FE to pay back dealers. What a fucking joke, this guy is not the real deal, and no matter what, is at least doing a terrible job insulating his layers of business. If I were trying to buy, I would wait it out, only time will tell...

Take a look. This dude is definitely exit scamming. So glad my coins didn't come through in time. http://agorahooawayyfoe.onion/vendor/hydropoid#

Something is up and now it says he is being investigated for scamming and on vacation...great. I ordered opana and realized he has 2 listings for 2 diff prices for the same thing. Only good reviews are for 1 out of his 50 products. Should have never FE.

Also another thing, if you want an opiate please dont get cough syrup, seriously its retarded. The only reason that stuff is so praised is because rappers have idolized it. "I drank teh srup and gte trippy mayne surp for lyfe" - Retarded rapper.

If you want an opiate with an antihistamine just get some oxy and benadryl and bamn you set to go.
