I noticed several unsettling comments about LE at buyers doors. Whats up with that?
-
I noticed the same, one feeback this morning, one later today. Could be scammers or...
Broken, anything to say?(not sure if he frequents the forums)
Could be an effort to ruin his business. No statement on his page about it, troubling.
If LE showed up at your door and knew you ordered narcotics (both were for oxys) than why would they just let you go so you can get to your computer and post about it? You think they would arrest you and make sure you can not use a computer or force you to go on while they were watching and give the seller a good review so that he is not tipped off. Unless he is busted already and LE has his computer and he is cooperating.
-
He does have an update on his profile dated 9/01/2011 saying he will no longer do business with customers that have less than 3 transactions with positive feedback or something along those lines.
-
Also, look at his shipping policy and non deliveries. This may very well be a pissed off customer who placed few orders under a fake name, didn't get his shit, and is now pissy. Notice how 2 negative reviews are, as of right now, from 8 hours ago.
I'm willing to bet 0.02 BitCoinz it's an angry customer...
-
Everyone that has done business with broken take safety precautions with your stash this weekend.
And please no one respond to his PM's.
If you want send me copies of the PMs to look at and i'll give advice.
hopefully it's a bad customer but you never know need the weekend to sort out.

Looks like we can assume that he's getting scammed.
From his profile page:
New rule as of 09/01/2011 - Due to assholes scamming me, getting their goods and then ruining my name and perfect rating by leaving negative feedback under different user names - from now on i am only selling out of escrow to new users with a feedback rating of less than 3 completed transactions. any orders received by new members with less than 3 feedback will be CANCELLED / REFUNDED immediately. if you wish to buy from me and you are a new user with feedback less than 3, you will need to contact me directly to make a purchase out of escrow. all other users who have established good feedback ratings higher than 3 completed transactions can use the below protocol:
-
i ordered before the update by about a day if i recall, and product was received in just a few days, very quick and discreet, no problems, and no LE yet. though it sure does make me nervous reading those reviews about LE showing up... it would not do to have them anywhere in or around my house, so i'll be holding my breath for a week or two now.
-
We are praying and wishing a good outcome for everyone involved, this is very unfortunate if true.
All the best fellow Silk Roader's...
-
It probably is LE leaving the feedback.
-
(i've made this same post in another thread since both are calling for my response.)
everything is fine. i'm sure some of you who have been here a while can recall other instances where a buyer has claimed they have been busted (well how are you still typing then?) out of the 4 neg. feedbacks i received i may have deserved the one from john1234 - there was a problem with decoding gpg/pgp when he tried to send me his address, and i could not decode it. I told him to resend the address, but he never did; some excuse like a family emergency. he never asked for a refund and i eventually just forgot about him after waiting for a couple weeks for his shipping address. i have decided it was a problem on my end (pgp user error) and so i changed my pgp.
as far as the other three feedbacks go, i believe it was a scammer or another seller trying to ruin / discredit me. once i initiated my "no more than 1 per new buyer policy" i started getting orders from people using different usrernames. One instance in particular from user "n00p" who also goes by "CupOJoe" where i noticed they were they same exact person / shipping address, just different names. i PMed the user saying i will not ship your second order until you receive your first order and leave positive feedback. he messages me a few days later saying he received the item, but for some lame reason could not leave +feedback and insisted that he didn't have two user accounts on SR and also insisted i ship his second order immediately. well, when i refused to ship it is when i probably pissed him off.
Silk Road needs more transparency as far as buyer feedback is concerned, if everyone were able to view the feedback ratings of the users leaving negative feedback it might give the community more insight as to whats really going on and where the burden of proof lies. if you look at the neg. feedback i received two were at the exact same time and all of them were for the exact same product. i feel its kinda lame that a seller should have to come on here and defend himself, especially after one person cries wolf. Lesson to be learned for all sellers - never sell to new users who haven't established their buyer rating unless its a deal on the side.
i will probably be hanging it up for now, so if you see my listings disappear, don't be concerned - I have not been busted and if i ever were, i would never cooperate with LE under any circumstance. its [selling] just not worth it for me now, especially after all this negative publicity. product is moving too slow now and it seems like every day bitcoin value is dropping. i have realized that for the most part, most buyers here are honest and good people, but there's always going to be a few bad apples who ruin it for everyone else. And to those bad apples, i'm calling you out.

So glad to hear that you have note been busted and all is well. Apart from some annoying customers...
-
Thanks for the update broken!
My heart skipped a beat when I saw that first LE related feedback. That shit is not fucking cool, and I pray karma will get that little selfish worthless peace of shit for stirring up the waters and causing group blood pressure increase!
-
That is some lame pussy shit! I am glad to see everything is good. :)
