  • **Warning To All Sources And Customers**

    In the last few months I have seen a large increase in source emails being compromised or scammers creating an email that is very similar looking to the actual source email. Pay close attention when ordering. Many of the scammers will only take bitcoin as payment.

    Also, pay close attention on tapatalk. Tapatalk has both a "forum pm" feature and a "tapatalk pm" feature. Some people may be pm'ing a source with the basic forum pm function and then they get a tapatalk pm from a very similar username pretending to be that same source. A few people that haven't payed close attention have already been caught up in this on multiple forums.

    In conclusion, be very careful with usernames and email addresses. Make sure they match exactly with the real source.

    Example Below:

    Real Source: [email protected]

    Impostor Source: [email protected]

    if you are in a rush or not paying close attention you may not catch the difference in those email addresses. Pay better attention guys. These scammers are depending on your carelessness.

      also I've seen multiple sources using the email service tutanota have their email taken over and asked for payment to have it back. tutanota is either easily hackable or people within the company are doing it themselves. do not use this email service.
