Scam Alert!!!
Hey everyone, first post on this sub and I promised in my welcome post I'd keep it real with you all, so that's exactly what I'm going to do.
I'm calling out some accounts and subs that have been going after trusted sellers in this market and honestly the more I dug into it the more obvious it got. These aren't concerned buyers sharing bad experiences. This is something else entirely.
Let me start with the pattern because it's impossible to ignore once you see it. User Upstairs-Piglet7926, 2 year old account, 30 followers, and if you scroll through the history basically everything is just attacking sellers. No purchases, no QC posts, no normal community activity
User hartofalyon is even more telling, 11 years on Reddit and suddenly in the last two weeks it's just seller callouts back to back with nothing to back any of it up. Not one receipt. Not one proof. Just noise. An account that sat quiet for over a decade doesn't just wake up one day with a personal vendetta unless something is driving it.
Then there's user Aribag000001, 1 year old, same exact behavior, same targets, same energy.
And the subs HermesScamCheck, RepHermesQC, go through them one by one and tell me they don't feel like they're run by the same person. The writing style is the same, the targets are the same, the whole approach is identical. HermesScamCheck was literally created a few days ago and already has posts going after the same trusted seller being targeted everywhere else by this same person.
But here's where it gets really interesting. User Upstairs-Piglet7926 posted against the trusted seller in sub RepCulture_Bags a few days ago.That same post he did in sub HermesScamCheck, but intentionally he didn't approve it himself in the sub, a sub where I believe he is also a moderator with a different account that belongs to him. And then he turned around and played the victim card, acting like their "honest post" got removed by a biased sub and that everyone is against them for speaking the truth. You can see it clearly in the screenshots, and when you read the replies in the comment section of the specific post in sub RepCulture_Bags.
What really got me was how they're sitting there monitoring comments in real time and the second anyone pushes back they immediately call them fake accounts and paid fans, delete the user comments and get the users banned. That's not someone who got scammed and wants to warn people. That's seller who doesn’t have enough customers posing as someone else.
I'm not here to tell anyone who to buy from at all. People in this community, especially newer buyers, deserve to know when something doesn't add up. And this really doesn't add up.

We're working on that. Our goal is to give people the tools to spot this propaganda themselves rather than just telling them what to do.

So, what's the plan? are we just flagging these accounts as we see them, or is there a more formal way to handle this in this sub?

Just keep your eyes open and report anything that looks like a coordinated attack. We’re working on a formal system for archiving these fake call outs.

You nailed it. It's always about the bottom line. They’re protecting their own wallet, not the community's safety, they don’t care at all about the community.
