Please Update for Visibility
Hi all,
Its been brought to our attention that a user is answering questions to "How Can I reach Vendor XYZ from Evo" with email addresses he controls. He makes the email address look like it could be the vendor, for instance VENDOR_NAME@safe-mail.net. Then he negotiates a direct deal and we know where that goes from there. You need to make sure you verify b/c it could be a scammer or LE on the other end. Do not be hard on anyone taken in by this scam - it was reported to help the community.
EDIT: I was going to publish the username but really it doesn't matter. Remember, do NOT give ANYTHING identifiable to an email address provided to you on here UNTIL you've allowed the vendor to decrypt using a PGP key you KNOW belonged to that vendor prior to Evo collapse OR on another market. It could be a scammer OR it could be LE.
EDIT 2: For clarity
shit ill tell you what that was a pretty smart scam fuck me
