I have been planning to make an order from a certain vendor ( who I won't name for reasons that will be clear) as such I have been watching his listings while transitting BTC the last few days. Window shopping basically. His vendor page said yesterday just got new stock in and various items available.I go to order this morning and all listings have vanished. When I message him using PGP key on his page he messages back " try this one mate" with a new key. I try this one but am careful just to ask him what's up nothing else as already I think it's a bit weird. He sends me back a message I can't decrypt. I ask him to go plaintext and he says " all ok just selling last of my stock if you are interested"This seems unusual. I am concerned he has been busted and now LE are fishing for evidence from customers.I don't know if I'm totally being para but I'm steering clear.If someone has been busted, and their account taken over, you would think that law enforcement would be scrupulously careful to behave in a manner so as to not spook potential customers. I would consider it suspicious that there is a sudden change of PGP key; I would have queried the vendor about this. If they refuse to explain, or the explanation is vague or inadequate, then I would steer clear. While what has taken place is suspicious, this is no reason to panic, and jump to conclusions. That said, if you're nervous, steer clear and don't provide any of your personal information, PGP encrypted or not. GuruA good point Guru. A question for the OP - has the vendor's PGP been updated in the thread we have here in the forums?V.
