I had ordered only 12 orders in total off of DNM's in the time span of 4 months. I only ordered small amounts, from very reputable vendors. I used Tails, PGP, real name, and only ordered from vendors that ship extra stealthy (MBB, vacuum).
The 8th order never made it. Neither did the 9th, the 10th and the next ones. First I thought I got selectively scammed, but no ... Shit got suspicious, but at the time my 12th order was supposed to arrive, 3 officers showed up instead.
They were polite and only stayed for 5 minutes or so, but did not come inside. They were asking me stuff like how long I'm living in this address, If I have enemies, If I ordered something ... They did not really tell me why they were there though, just "collecting information".
I played it all cool and told them I don't know anything. Then they left.
Shit, after that I was about to faint. But I was fucking lucky. My question is, how the FUCK did they find out? The packages were always secure and inconspicuous. Why??? WHY??? WHY ME??? :(
My guess is this whole DNM story just got too public because of reddit, the medie and VICE. Everyone knows about the DNM now, LE included. More and more shipments are getting intercepted. In SR1 times, this was not the case.
Now after what happened, I don't think I will ever be able to order anything again to my drop or even my name. :( I wanted to try so many new substances and now I can't after only the 12th order. People, comfort me... ;(
How to move on?
You're a pretty bright fella there. You not only had something potentially bad happen, but in the short span of 'from when that happened' until you rushed on reddit to order to warn everyone, you thoroughly evaluated everything that could have caused the process to break down, and concluded it is due to the publicity DNM has "suddenly" gotten because of reddit.
Fortunately, someone else who is totally not you is also posting today regarding how this clearnet discussing of darknet is going to soon cause an entire collapse of the market system. Now that you (and I mean the plural 'you,' since I am very sure you aren't the same person) have warned us, we will all immediately delete all out posts and move to TOR forums for discussion, where LE totally can't find or read anything.
Thank you. We all thank you for your diligence and warning. I am relieved it wasn't more serious, and I'm even more happy to know how your close call gave you the strength to go to a clearnet forum and admit to everything illegal you've done, especially since we were all just warned of the danger of, uh... posting on clearnet forums and admitting illegal things.
