so I wanted to give reddit a heads up on torcollective.
I had originally placed an order with him back in early June. This was his middle earth vending days and he was FE only. I had dealings with TC in the past, some good, some not so much but I was sure he had access to FIRE and I wanted a taste so I kept up with him and my first order with him on ME was perfect.
Upon receiving my this order, I immediately ponied up for a 2nd round. This is where the scam began.
TC went dark for a week and then replied that he had heavy family shit. I was patient and sympathetic initially as he said he needed a week or so to get his life in order and complete my order.
A week later, he is messaging me the same bullshit.. I promise to send at the end of the week. The week ends and nothing from TC.
It has been 3 weeks since TC has messaged me and I have nothing to show for it. A buddy was taken at the same same for 800$ and I was popped for 450$
1250$ in scamming btc is the amount I am aware of. I expect there are more folks in the same boat as me as well.
I fully expect torcollective to show up again and vend again somewhere. Maybe under a defferent moniker or maybe he is bold enough and he believes enough time has passed to just show himself to be torcollective again when this worm pops his head up for more suckers.
regardless, the reddit crew should be aware of this scumbag.
My first zip of shake was fine. Then i spent more money on some of his shatter and my order never shipped. They told me they would split the loss with me because I placed my order 4 days before blackbank went down and these fucking idiots couldn't ship it. They kept answering my messages until one day they just stopped. Anyone who continues to give their money to such an incompetent group of people shouldn't be using DNMs. Thanks torcollective for fucking me out of a couple hundred dollars. Fuck you guys.
