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'
https://drugbuyersguide.info/threads/protonmail-warning-message.6390/

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. 🤔
