We have had many clients scammed over the last few months by different tactics, but all involved Proton Mail.
The first scammer was able to infiltrate a vendor’s email and extorted extra funds for “sending extra by mistake.” It appears that anyone who wrote that vendor could have been infected.
Then another hacker is copying the email addresses and menus, with 2 vendors being targeted so far. This is also Protonmail, and the giveaway is that one vendor’s name is misspelled, and both of these emails contained a different email adress next to the lock. That the email address that was a steroid forum. These emails contained red text. Make sure the 2 addresses are the same.
Now we have a third scammer who infiltrated a email conversation, then changed one letter in the vendor’s name that wasn’t easily identified, with the bitcoin address. This scammer asked for extra funds to double the order.
Please read any vendor emails very carefully. Make sure the email address is exactly the same as the vendor’s contact in every stage of contact. With some vendors who publish email addresses, check the bitcoin address.
So far this has affected only Protonmail. We had a similar problem in 2020-2021.
There’s a long thread about those hackers/scammers:
Thread 'Protonmail warning message'

Be safe and be careful! I will update this as more information becomes available.
 
To update, we have members receiving the emails with red text who have never corresponded with the vendors the emails claim to be from. That happened 4 years ago too.
So don’t assume you’re safe from the scam emails because you haven’t used the vendors.

Is there a section of this server that has vendors ratings and people's reviews on them?
 
@A$troJet50n @cheechthekat i highly recommend you donate to be a sponsor (it’s good for a year) so you get access to the full spectrum of vendors. Yes, vendor threads contain reviews. Go to the front page and you will see a thread for how to sponsor. It’s in the Welcome section, first thread. You can’t miss it. It’s all really useful for navigating things here.

You will also be able to communicate with other members fairly quickly. Otherwise you’re pretty limited.
 
Theres alot of chatter about vendor accounts using proton mail are comprimised, People are talkin about how vendors are talking different now, talking about using different shipping methods, Rude ness ect....

Be ware of any vendor who uses proton mail, I strongly suggest ya'll abandon that service and find a new one, proton is no longer safe.

@A$troJet50n @cheechthekat If you decide to donate, please remember to READ ALL pages, from page one to page 40 if there are that many pages of a vendor's thread, you are considering. Trust me, it will save you a lot of trouble.

1.) Sponsor (donate). We've all had to chip in, you should just as a courtesy to keep the power on. Plus the other benefits. I have a feeling some will reach out to you beforehand, proceed with caution.
2.) DO NOT ignore the advice of @robert1975. This may be the most important heads up you'll hear. If there's reviews going 5 years back, read everything like it's a homework assignment and the exam is tomorrow. Failure to follow his advice will result in broken hearts and bank accounts.
3.) One success does not make you and the other party best buds 4 life and reviews should be legit; be honest writing them.
4.) Some advice, some tips, some promises can and will be bullshit. Follow your instincts.
I promise not these tips and advice for you though. Seriously. 🤔

  4. T @ Thedoccc: Hey y'all, wanted to tell you that I signed that second contract I was hoping for. Which should keep me afloat for the rest of the year, and hopefully 2026 if all goes well. Appreciate your encouragement, love, prayers and out reach. I was really feeling low last week and needed that extra bit of <3
  5. tiquanunderwood @ tiquanunderwood: hahhah right on man. they spent so much bread.
  6. L @ Layne_Cobain: Could b worse dude could be a met fan right now 😂 that payroll and no playoffs 😳 I kinda feel bad for em such an insane collapse and so insanely opposite of what happened last year with them starting terrible then catching fire all the way to the nlcs
  7. tiquanunderwood @ tiquanunderwood: That Texas playoff series last year crushed out spirits lmao. They wrecked us.
  8. tiquanunderwood @ tiquanunderwood: No you're pretty much spot on. We've been playing better since the firing of Hyde but I think it's just coincidence. Even though he was terrible at putting the correct relievers in at the wrong time.
  9. L @ Layne_Cobain: Exactly didn’t make a good enough offer to Burnes to keep him and didn’t go after any other top pitching then when things were over come deadline traded away a bunch altho I don’t think any of them besides O’hearn and maybe a reliever or two were doing that well but I could be remembering wrong
  10. tiquanunderwood @ tiquanunderwood: *bucks
  11. tiquanunderwood @ tiquanunderwood: Just needed pitching. And mister big buks didn't spend sh1it hahhaha.
  12. tiquanunderwood @ tiquanunderwood: We were stacked and ready to go.
  13. tiquanunderwood @ tiquanunderwood: I'm in the same boat as you. The blame goes on the owner and Elias (our GM)
  14. L @ Layne_Cobain: I was just thinking that bro I honestly didn’t think Hyde was all that bad but when things go south it’s usually the managers on the chopping block to make the point …I think there’s some decent managers out there looking for a spot
  15. tiquanunderwood @ tiquanunderwood: Be interesting to see who our manager is next year.
  16. tiquanunderwood @ tiquanunderwood: Yeah, he talked all that shit bro. "We're finally gonna start spending money and active in the trade market: LOL
  17. L @ Layne_Cobain: Bro I couldn’t believe the year you guys had I mean it seemed over before it started for a team that had high expectations…that new-ish owner needs to put his money where his mouth is
  18. Gracie5 @ Gracie5: A new member requested the password but was too new. If that person could please send Admin or me another message, I have it for you.
  19. tiquanunderwood @ tiquanunderwood: Just gotta get in front of them Jays.
