I am literally curious on how you even find out how to order gear from the internet? No way you did any research yourself.
Let me tell you how it played out:
1st brother is a knuckle dragger that want gear. 2nd brother is the "brains" of the operation that knows bitcoin 'n' stuff.
1st- Yo man, I found some cheap gear, but it wants bitcoin for it can you help?
2nd- Sure bro, I know this thing it's EASY
1st- here he is
2nd- *Sends email, order, gets btc amount then proceeds to send it through cashapp
1st- So we good?
2nd- Yes, just waiting for tracking
2nd- 10' later - Yo motherfucker, were is tracking, you son of a bitch!?!
Vendor - Please send me the transaction hash so I can verify payment and proceed to ready the order so I can ship it to you
2nd- You motherf PoS, what TxHash? What is this shit?
Vendor- It's the on chain verification that the funds have been sent to me
2nd- You PoS! You are trying to scam me? I KNOW I send the funds, Fuck you and give me my gear
*Proceeds to post on MesoRx that he send 185 BTC (WTF dude, you bought his damn wharehouse or something?) and that the Vendor is scamming him.
P.S. OR he was scammed by someone that had a similar address, but "the brains" didn't bother to verify
