Hey guys,

I just wanted to share that my protonmail was hacked a couple days ago and I didn't notice until after donating. The scammer emailed me back afterwards saying they had accidentally doubled my order and if i wanted to keep the extra i could just donate a little more and all would be well. Luckily I had read the previous posts here on dbg about this so I instantly knew not to send anything else and it was a scammer I was actually conversing with, not the vendor.

I also had two emails supposedly from DBG admin in my inbox saying a vendor had direct messaged me on the site with links to the message, they looked legit but i know not to ever click links so I came here to the site to check and there were no messages from that vendor here. Said Vendor later confirmed they had never contacted me.

Please be careful and take time to keep an eye out for anything that seems off or out of place. There's a few things I could have picked up on I realize now if I was paying closer attention. Also, don't freak out and delete everything in your inbox if you think you've been hacked. I did this not thinking and then realized I had deleted any information that would have helped us figure out more details about how it happened.

Ive switched to tuta mail now. Never touching proton again. the more I learn about them the more i see they're full of it.

I hope this helps someone not make the same mistakes. Everyone stay safe out there!

This EXACT same thing happened to me, Unfortunately I didn't know and got scammed. So Very Thankful you posted this, I suppose I'll be needing to apologize to the Vendor. Going to get a new email as we speak. Blessings
 
Oh man, I'm so sorry you went through this too! It's a bitch and really feels so violating. Not just because of the money but the privacy invasion. Scammers suck. I hope things look up for you in this situation and things work out with your vendor. Stay safe!
 
I was a target of a phishing campaign on Protonmail just today... I received an email appearing to come from Protonmail asking me to click on a button to verify my Protonmail address. Upon further inspection I noticed it was actually sent from some fake address (e.g., email@avxi-yz.com), obviously NOT associated with Proton.

  2. N @ NYStateofMind: @Alkazar I would try one of those easy online ones .. reddit gives useful info about that
  3. Alkazar @ Alkazar: @NYStateofMind I dont really have a history of abusing things, my docotr is just really stingy. I am thinking of switching.
  4. C @ Cheesus: Thanks xenxra
  5. xenxra @ xenxra: @Cheesus yeah, use snote
  6. P @ psychedpsych: Trump is cracking down….
  7. P @ psychedpsych: Hackers are the scum of the earth
  8. N @ NYStateofMind: so it was easy bc of my history
  9. N @ NYStateofMind: I didnt really tell him but he knew I needed a new script since my dr went to jail
  10. N @ NYStateofMind: @xenxra I was on Adderall since 15 years ago so my dr prescribed that w no problems and then when I lost my best friend my doctor rxed the valiums but
  11. C @ Cheesus: Temp.pm down for anyone else?
  12. xenxra @ xenxra: @NYStateofMind my doctor's have always been pretty open minded if i can actually come in and explain the pharmacological action of the drugs im seeking instead of just telling them why i think i should be prescribed. the only time it didn't work out for me is when i was trying pharmaceuticals for depression ten years ago and suggested they let me try testosterone instead (turns out i was hypogonadal so they made a mistake denying my request at face value)
  13. T @ Testisthebest: Even down here in Florida when the pill mill docs all switched over to Suboxone and/or retired you can still find some pretty liberal docs but you gotta know what to look for. Mine does "pain management, detox, anxiety,etc. And no insurance. My doc writes me 60 5mg Valium, 14 2mg Xanax and asked if I had ever tried adderal to get more focus at work as I told him I run my own business.
  14. N @ NYStateofMind: @Alkazar do they know your history? Like I dont tell my doctor anything about myself except what they need to know,...I was able to get my dr to rx the highest dose of adderall along with valiums ..... if they dont know your history or there is no history I would just come out and ask what is the reason for their mistreatment.... they have no problem billing your insurance or taking a payment for the visit
  15. T @ Turbo259: @Layne_Cobain Thank you fam
  16. Alkazar @ Alkazar: It is INSANE how doctors treat tax paying hard working people like criminals when they ask for opioids. This world just keeps getting more and more backwards. But thanks to this site to be able to find people to help when no one in the medical world will.
