: Hulkster,
: I found this article in my local paper today.
: "The largest national drug investigation ever by postal inspectors has proved what many had feared for years: The U.S. Postal Service is a major courier for the world's dope dealers. The continuing effort has produced hundreds of arrests... seized varying amounts of STEROIDS. The FBI and DEA are using information from the probe in their own investigations ... National Guard troops aroung the nation are helping the inspectors: checking addresses on drug packages; creating drug sender and RECEPIENT DATABASES (sweating yet?) and helping examine the packages to see if they fit the drug profile".
: Seems to me that even if you don't "sign" for a package they still might be creating a database about your purchases and may issue a search warrent based on this info.
: What do you think?
Yes, I'm aware of this, I know some of the National Guards that took part in this operation. Maybe now, everyone can see why you have to "WATCH YOUR BACK".
Here's some of there Database gathering methods:
Put out a post say that you have a list of products or sources. You send for them "you're tagged", not busted, but tagged. You didn't do anything illegal, information is legal, but they figure, that if you are requesting the information that you are a current user/dealer or will be in the near future.
Bust a dealer/company "source", don't advertise it to the press yet, keep the phones connected, mailboxes open, fax machine on and watch all the nice and neat orders that come in.
Controlled buys, an FED will make a steroid purchase and no bust will go down. They simply wait and watch this guy/store/company and he who he talks to, who he mails, who he calls, WHO HE E-MAILS!!! All it takes is a judges signature and these guys can sit at your service providers office and watch it all. You think HOTMAIL is safe, why do you think I just use my regular e-mail address, it don't take much.
All you can do is make yourself a harder target, it's sad, but the more work they have to do to get you, the more likely they're hit someone else that is easier.
This is why I scream about putting sources on the board, individuals that beg for contacts, members advertising that they sell, we're making their job too easy!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Don't keep e-mail messages, clear your cache and deleted files, defrag your HDD. Throw your packaging into a dumpster on the other side of town, most importantly don't get to quick to jump on a source.
Get the crack heads of the streets, throw the rapists in the the jails, fry the murders, but why??? Bust some guy, that is just trying to put on alittle size and gain some strength, which will increase his self-esteem and enhance his fitness!!!!!!!!!
Please, everyone be careful and watch your back!!! Hulkster
