Be CAreful with TGUK on Abraxas

So I heard good things about abraxas and went over there to check it out. I just want people to know that I placed an order with TGUK over there clearly indicating in my encrypted message that I wanted him to reply in a way that would confirm his ability to decrypt the message (repeat back a phrase that I put in quotes). His only reply was a non encrypted request for me to "FE please". I see no indication that the TGUK on abraxas can actually decrypt things encrypted with TGUKs PGP key

Can we stop abbreviating vendors' usernames, especially for important warnings such as this? A good amount of people who read this won't know who you're talking about, myself included.

Always double check your vendor. Too many scammers out there looking for a sucker. This is the way to verify your vendor is legit.

I sent them an email and they told me they were on both nucleus and abraxas.


[1 Points] BarmeloXanthony:

He's on nucleus too right


[1 Points] estim8ed_prophet:

Maybe you are jumping the gun.... I checked his Grams profile. PGP keys check out fine.

As long as the PGP key on Abraxas matched the PGP on Agora and you can cross check this at the Grams infodesk, I'd say you are mistaken.

Tguk is a busy vendor. It may be he doesn't have time to reply with secret phrases and tests all the time. I'm not ruling out it being dodgy, but it might have another explanation


[1 Points] Ubley:

I thought he was under Top_gear_UK on abb as opposed to TGUK?


[1 Points] treystand:

so to all the people claiming that he is legitimate, all he has said is "Please FE" to my repeated requests that he demonstrate an ability to decrypt
