So I know a lot of sketchy shit has been potentially/probably going on with the vendor DutchExpress. He apparently got banned on Nucleus and has been getting some eh review on Dream due to some of his shipments simply not showing up. There's also that blackmail thing the other day which totally sounded like DutchExpress to me.
Unfortunately I have a pending order with this vendor and would like to see if you guys have any updates. After messaginig him about these potential troubles a few days ago, DutchExpress did respond rather quickly, though in rather hard to read and choppy English. He claimed real life problems had prevented him from shipping my (as well as other customers') packages on time. Specifically, he said he sent out the orders only a "few days later" than when he had originally claimed on Dream.
I'm cool waiting, I just want to know if anybody who went through a similar delay with this vendor actually got their order or if he's just putting shit off & trying to exit scam. At what point do I dispute?
An observation. In today's day and age with vpn, encryption, dark web and other secure means of communication, I feel that 10 years ago when it was private bbs and you had to get referrals to get in, it was 1000 times more secure and much less scamming then there is today, with everyone posting on social media about their dealings.
It makes the whole scene more accessible, but with the cost of lots of resources being used to take apart the secure systems and an increase in shady vendors.
