Tales from decrypt 🐷 Can I see your badge, officer? : CafeDread | Torhoo darknet markets

A short story about PGP signing ladies and gents! For the entertainment of veterans and the erudition of newcomers...
A couple of days ago somebody hit my DMs with this incredibly well-crafted piece of social engineering. PGP encrypted for some reason. No signature.

So, don't hate me here but i work for Federal Criminal Police Office in Wiesbaden. We took Arch down and Offered Elysium the same offer. However he bailed. Arch however took the deal and as you say threw everyone under the bus. I'm not here for buyers, just sellers of Fentanyl and the larger vendors. I know you will think fuck shit, but don't buyers are not on our radar.

I offered Elysium the route of trader for 1/2 years exit and pay a fee. They paid once then exit. However huge mistake we know them and will be very soon we knock.

Next Markets to go guess

Yeah. Take a load of this guy, right? Now the thing is, I'm not a smart individual. I was pretty high. And I have to admit, for a brief moment I had a creeping doubt there could be some truth in such a retarded claim. After all, LE belongs in a pigsty. Not on my key ring. Hopefully, PGP makes this kind of bullshit really, REALLY easy to answer to 👇

Send a verifiable PGP signature or get lost.

Needless to say, I didn't get the signature I asked for. They could have done it quite easily. But they didn't. I wonder why.
Now for the less experienced readers (including the scammer themselves...), what I was expecting was proof of affiliation to LE. Something like a PGP signature from a key I could check on the clearnet. Instead, what I received was... A brand new public key for a user "ddd <ddd@ddd[DOT]com>".
Are you stupid? I asked. And for the first time I received a firmly relevant answer:

You actually though ddd@ddd[DOT]com was an actual email?

Sent back a "You're a joke <gofuckyourself@youfuckingmoron[DOT]de>" public key. Conversation was deleted soon after. Hopefully I keep a copy of it for your enjoyment.
