I see this new vendor, his prices are fair, the M looks kind of ehh, but whatever. I send him a message, saying that since his feedback is almost zero, and can't find anything about him, if he could somehow convince me, or show proof that maybe he just changed his username, etc. - I would buy 2 ounces from him that minute. I PGP encrypted it, sent it to him.
.
3 hours later, I get an unencrypted message that simply said "Lets chat on Wickr App: Username is xxxxxxx."
.
I then reply "can you tell me the first three words of the PGPd message that I just sent you?" - he replies with not three words - but the complete unencrypted text of what I sent him, in plain view....
Has anyone seen a vendor on DNM use his store as a front for Direct Deals? Seems like an awful plan to chat via a close-sourced app that's now linked to your DNM account... Instead of encrypting your shit and having the perks of reviews, etc.. Maybe I'm missing something. . I responded to him asking him if he posted my whole unencrypted message to be a dick - or if he just has no OPSEC sense. It seems as though he was simply being a dick.
UPDATE:
Alrighty! So I got a little curious, seeing his 3$ redbulls and his super cheap product - so ran Wickr off of a secure machine and shot him a message.. He responds, and says he does most all sales through DD, skirted around my 'why no reviews' question, and l tell him that in not buying anything from a stranger, through Wickr, that I have never heard of and has no trace online. Said that unless I get a feeling or something showing he's legit, etc - which was not possible, given my overkill OPSEC, then kick rocks homie. He then says all of this enticing shit about pricing, freebies, (the things that us DNMarketeers drool over), and we talk for a minute.
:
Finally, I tell him to just create a custom listing for a nice sized pack of Ps, add on some M - full escrow - and pay his wallet right then. He says no problem, creates it, makes it escrow (highly doubt this shitbag got AB to allow him to FE) - I pay, let him know it's in there and was about to go crash before work. Then he instantly sends me a message on Wickr: "alright, bud - as soon as funds are released, I'll get it out in the AM to you". I told him he's fucking retarded if he thinks that would have worked - and he got all sheepish (assumingly because he doesn't want me to report him & get him blacklisted on AB) and decided to refund.. Haven't checked yet, but I'm sure it is... What a waste of time that guy is.. Shit, for the effort he's putting into this scam, he is REALLY awful at it. I could grab young punks money all day if I wanted to; this guy was straight lazy.
:
I want to report him to AB, but now that I placed that bunk order, he has my address. He seems like the unstable type to do something doxxy about it. He's not a die-hard DNMer. He's a DD. He wouldn't have much to lose by fucking me like that - but I want him gone ASAP.

Another thing I noticed afterward: If you reverse Google Image some of his pictures, they might as well be from Getty.... So standard & made no attempt to customize them.
Fucking yuck dude
Send him dick pic's....bahahahaahahaha!!!!!!!
