If a vendor is contacting you about placing an order there's something wrong.... Run away!
I understand your point however it was not unusual in the four years I was using Marcos for him to email me periodically to see if I wanted to order - offering to reduce shipping, etc. He would also let me know when he was going on vacation ...or if it was a holiday weekend he would remind me to get my order in early. Back to JW..I was always using a gmail account and the email I received from the other Arturo email in February 2014 was basically stating he was dropping off the radar and would only be working with a select number of customers from now on. There is one other person on here who responded to my post from a while back who knew somebody who had my same experience.
Hi Pooner,
Edited: Pooner I forgot to answer your question! I have been using M under the second @gmail since the 2014 change without a problem. Last order was a few weeks ago and the first time I had a problem. No word yet on whether hes going to make good on it.
You are right it is normal for good customers to be contacted first sometimes. Marcos did this a few times under his original email.
This Arturo thing sounds like a scam to me and I am very sorry to hear that.
So after Arturo you did not have any @gmail experience? I can confirm that there was indeed a second @gmail that was sent out. It was actually done during active communication with the @gmail first address. The marcosesc one (redacted) was speaking to me in 2014 when he suddenly emailed from a new @gmail and said "Lets use this email now, there is a security problem." My timeline recollection on that is poor but it was 2014 I feel he said the second @gmail was going to be used now because of "security problems" I do remember that very clearly.
This second @gmail was definitely Marcos I believe, now that I jog my memory a bit, because he knew a lot of details and preferences without being told.
So seems we cracked the case Pooner so thank you...M is still around as of this summer. And indeed there was a extortion/security problem (I later was targeted for extortion) shortly after this security problem before this Arturo in 2014. I assume the suppliers demanded access to the emails so they can collect marks and targets. Marcos said he does not use these type of people (cartel) suppliers anymore, and thats why he has shortages of supply. He prefers to use pharmacy suppliers that are not fully affiliated with these thugs. As M said "There are other suppliers, but I like to stay out of trouble" He insinuated that they caused problems for him. This Arturo email guy was most likely taking the info from the original M email, and ripping off and trying to extort as many people as possible. I may or may not have received a phone call from the same people the Arturo email "works for". Alright! thats enough story time for the masses.
Anyway, I still have a problem as of July and would like to hear from second @gmail M customers if there's any around to chat with.
