So long, farewell, to you, my friend
Goodbye for now, until we meet again
I said so long, farewell, to you, my friend
Goodbye for now, until we meet again

It’s been great to play and sing together
And now it’s time to say goodbye

So long, farewell, to you, my friend
Goodbye for now, until we meet again
Goodbye for now, until we meet again :(

SoCo popped my gear cherry and this is just honestly a really sad experience for me. :cry:

Fucking hell, SoCo was THE man. I bought 90% of my stuff from him, anyone else a little nervous about your info being compromised?

Don’t believe it - he continued to take orders and hand out bogus tracking labels. He scammed us.

Once he got found out he shut his site down. Many of us purchased and were given the same tracking number. It’s an exit scam.

You’re hella gullible if you actually think he got busted and didn’t just exit scam lol. Let’s go through everything that happened

1. Posted saying he was open to the public with suddenly EVERYTHING back in stock and to order NOW because he would be taking the month of November off.
2. At this point he also changed all of the stock on his website. Before if you tried to add, let’s say, 50 vials of test E, the site would say that it’s too much for his current stock. You could now add over 900+ without ever getting that message.
3. Pretended to lose access to his emails because he “spilled coffee on his phone and laptop” giving him some time to keep scamming people through his website before leaving.
4. Said “hey bro just hit me up on wickr if you have some issues I’ll solve them all” to a couple of people, never actually answering any messages on wickr.
5. Gave fake tracking numbers to -at least- 10 people who have come forward so far, probably a LOT more.
6. When shit finally hit the fan and his exit scam was officially obvious, he took his website down and put up a “this website has been seized” image on it. The same day. Within an hour of it happening.

@rpolitics_sucks I honestly don’t wanna believe it. But you might be right.

Mods can we get some clarification on if SoCo has been seized or he exit scammed. I read the announcement stating that he’s been compromised.

If he was caught by LE that sucks man SOCO was awesome. Do you think we have anything to worry about if we ordered from him last year and were a member of his site?

If this was an exit scam it kind of makes sense though since he opened to public to take in all those orders then bounce :(

Fuckin hell so four sources SoCo/CML/Mis/BKL are all one big happy fucking family lol wow. Shit like this makes it too god damn easy, no wonder the feds acted on this. Meanwhile guys who operate their own shit and keep their group small stay in the game for years. We still have sources from the wild west days of the early 2000s sourcing gear on boards or on the dark market and shit. If you’re a source reading this post: KEEP YOUR OPERATION SMALL! It’ll be better for you AND the users in the long run!

I would like to point out that when a domain name is seized by the government the dns is updated to property of the US Government. However Soco’s name servers are still reading to a Chinese IP. I’d say y’all probably got scammed.

Wait, wait, wait. WTF!?!?!?
I’ve been gone for like 2 weeks. SoCo is gone!?
I just started pinning his EQ that I got from him a few weeks ago… Should I be worried that I’ve been pinning canola oil? LOL

@flashpass1234 yep from what I’ve found in my research every single domain seized by the US government had it’s DNS change to a government owned server. I don’t think the FBI is hosting on chinese servers.

Edit: I also realized the banner on soco says it’s been seized by the “Drug enforcement agency”. DEA stands for drug enforcement administration.
