I just tried to  look at the scam emails I received and they are gone. And by scam email I mean the ones where they were sending the fake payment info. Is this happening to everyone else as well?

Welcome PaulNola from one of my favorite places. Loved my first visit so much I returned for my honeymoon. Reminds me of my hometown San Francisco. Surrounded by water with fantastic food.  Glad to have you with us and I might seek out your expertise some day.

I still lean towards keywords being the cause of them "jumping in". It's an awful lot of emails to be reading one by one. I have been misspelling and finding creative wording in case this theory is correct. I want to ask the community for help by spreading the word. If your vendor isn't telling...

A couple vendors want me to tell everyone that Protonmail is safe. This infection or whatever you want to call it does originate on Protonmail, but after that it doesn't matter what email is used. One is no safer than another.  Even if a vendor changes emails as soon as an infected customer...

Important update. The scammer is now accepting CIM as well as bitcoins. Do not send money to Malaysia! Check every communication from the vendor to make sure it's coming from the correct address.

What a shock to hear of Kobe Bryants untimely death and as I understand the death of his 13 year old daughter as well. I have been a lifelong Lakers fan so I remember his era as our last glory days. Being a Cali girl and SF native I have split loyalties between the Warriors and Lakers depending...

We love reviews and welcome members who are willing to take the time to post them. I think we are a pretty chill group. 

I was going to mention this last night and I think someone else has brought it up, but try to avoid using any obvious keywords like bitcoin or payment. My conversation with one of the vendors was going along as usual until I requested his bitcoin address and that initiated a reply from the...

@milex I believe it originated with the customer, but once he emailed the vendor they were able to get into that account. Judging from the number of us who received these emails it seems like the scammer got ahold of one of our vendor's contacts list. He believes that they cannot originate...

PS this has been a problem reported to me by several people, not just a single incident and it is regards to various vendors as well with the common thread being Protonmail. I'm getting all kinds of crazy emails on there myself, but have not initiated any orders . One that a few of us have...

@milex thanks for your expertise. It's far beyond mine and I only have the ability to relay the information as it comes to me. One of the persons affected is very tech savvy so I feel like this is not amateurish. He attempted making a new account and I believe he said from a different computer...

Welcome to posting - don't be shy!

Someone just told me this, I don't have verification it's true, but it would explain the wild swings in the times my overseas packages take.  That the stuff from a certain country comes in on a pallet and if any parcel on it is suspicious and needs to be investigated it holds up the whole...

Glad to have you @Jimmy10k and I am happy to help when I can.

Ooh I really like a couple of yours like learn a new language, that's a good one. 

@bdz pretty sure it's not directed at you. As for resolutions, I need to add a new one because I always have the same old resolution and that's to start a taper plan and keep my med use in check. It's become a yearly ritual. A useful one, but I would like to find something new and inspirational...

Me neither. This is like my secret life that only a couple of my friends know about. Welcome to the group and thank you for supporting us.

Hey now, I have seen people continue to use vendors with bad reviews because as long as their history with that vendor is satisfactory they still feel like it's safer than something new. I'd hardly say that's insane, more like human nature to prefer the known over the unknown.

@bdz I was going to try an ATM service in the new year. I would like to find a faster alternative to Coinbase that a simpleton like me can use.
