IMPORTANT: DOXX Extortion Letter Arrived w/ Recent Lock & Load Labs Pack

[RIPMacDre415]

Hey boys and girls I have a little problem. I ordered my sixth pack from Lock & Load Labs about a week ago and received it a couple days ago. I got the email from the UPS store (I use a UPS store “PO box” for these kind of orders) saying that it arrived, along with a letter. I had no idea what the letter could be but didn’t trip, I assumed it was just junk. Today I picked up the pack along with the letter. I put a pic of the letter on Imgur here.

What’s the best course of action here? Pay the extortion? Ignore it? Cancel the UPS Box?

I’m not that worried tbh, personal use of steroids is definitely not a priority among police or FBI, but I do feel a bit violated. I’ve heard of this scam before, I know it happens, but is it common? Been using the Dark Net for a long time and never had this or a US Customs love letter.

EDIT: Added “(I use a UPS store “PO box” for these kind of orders).”

Wait, how is ups relevant? Was your gear shipped through ups?

Have you also used this as a drop for DNM non-steroid purchases? I understand if you don’t want to answer.

You can get a proper mailbox via UPS Store.

why would you pay their ransom? that will just lead them to believe you are an idiot that can be extorted for more money.

change your ups box, don’t order from the same places, and change all relevant shit associated with your purchases. cards, passwords, anything that has information leading back to you. those scammers can’t do shit to you. they are asking for $50 LMFAO, probably some highschool kids or college idiots.

please don’t fall for this, it looks bad if you do.

I forgot to mention that I have all my gear shipped to a “PO box” at a local UPS store. Btw I really do think it’s one of the safest ways to receive gear, much less bullshit/security compared to an actual PO box, and obviously better than ordering to your house. You can really easily use a fake identity when setting up the box, but imo I wouldn’t take that risk unless I was trying to flip.

I’d be interested to know how they got your address…

Haha bro I know, I burned the letter and the box that my pack came in. I’m gonna find a new UPS box and chill for a bit. I have a feeling that the letter was slipped in by one of the UPS store employees, and I don’t think he has any actual evidence. Probably just put two and two together: “Young guy + PO box + vacuum sealed packages/tracking numbers from India/clearly fake companies on the return addresses = Buying drugs online”

This is coming from someone who used to do a lot of doxing (ironically went to federal prison for related crimes to doxing I’m not kidding) don’t be dumb and pay. Doxing is not your fucking name and address, they better at least have some bank acc info and your SSN (which only cost about 5$ to buy but that’s another story. Just ignore the stupid shit. IF they were worth a shit at doxing they’d have sent a letter with their dox to you too. (Not that I know from personal experience or anything)
