how do selective scammers exist : DarknetMarketsNoobs | Torhoo darknet markets

genuine question- it doesn't even make sense to selectively scam because your missing out on long term clientele who will make you more money than scamming them once.
dont understand how markets dont ban them instantly because people say that these selective scammers dont even send a package so how would they defend themselves to moderators.

rn im assuming everyone getting called a selective scammer is just opp vendors

Because some people can't see the forest through the trees... And some people just don't give a shit.

And don't kid yourself- nobody sets up a darknet market because they're an ideologue any more than people form corporations for the benefit of the consumer.

Select scammers are well established vendors not just random new vendors looking to establish a customer network. These are vendors who push lots of sales and are very valuable to markets that's why they can't be banned.

Most selective scammer reports begin with a dispute that the poster looses. They try to make the case that it is part of a greater scam, but in general I'm not convinced. because they imply a lot, but give no evidence beyond their particular case. - Especially as to what you said, there is no way I can see to make selectively robbing customers a good business. Let me tell you, I have had some disputes now and again, and no vendor would voluntarily put themselves through one IMO. It takes a long time for a dispute clear and they scare off customers. Plus the aggrieved party can threaten to come to Dread and make your workday hell all over again. . lol

theres some established and well loved vendors who every now and then make a pack go missing for whatever reason

if its just a few percent then no-one notices but people get greedy or gain trust and then pull an exit


as for the more obvious ones-

does the amount they scam before they get caught exceed the vendor bond they will lose? If yes its a profitable scam, and setting up a new name isn't hard
