Very important:

To OCS owners and reps: please do not ask our members to PM you their real names or reference numbers. That info must be provided by phone, email, or any other mean and must never be related to a board username. Please do not use our board for customer service. Answer questions in a general way. Do not ask our members to give up their anonymity. Do not ask our members to give you their real name.

To our members: do not disclose your username to vendors.
It is very important to remain anonymous. If you disclose your name and username you will not be able to post in an anonymous way. If OCS's know your name an username they may be forced to deny you service based on your posts... and you may not be able to post as you wish if something goes wrong.

WE STRONGLY RECOMMEND THAT OUR MEMBERS REMAIN anonymous. DO NOT DISCLOSE YOUR USERNAME TO ANYONE!


We know this is in the best interest of all. We have seen that those that do not follow this recommendation end up with problems that could have been avoided...

This is not about LE. This is common sense and about privacy...

Some examples of what can go wrong very wrong:
You give your board username to a co-worker. He gives it to your boss. Your boss does not like what you post: you are fired
You tell your wife / husband your board username. She, he uses what you posted in divorse court
You tell your friends your board username... you post you just received your order... someone breaks into your house...
You give your username to an OCS rep. They deny your service based on what you posted

Anonymity is best to share info on prescription drugs, your health, medicine, and buying meds online. Privacy is a must... that is why patients info is protected so much... it is best for you and it is best for our site if you remain anonymous.



Please: remain anonymous!



Please post other good reasons to remain anonymous online...


Try using different usernames to log at OCS's and IOP's and if your board username is "crazychicken999" do not think that people can not figure out who you are if your email is crazychicken999@hotmail.com

Thank you

Yes, indeed! If we take any advice, this is it.

Also, I have noticed IOPs are somehow associating usernames with people. If you want to be able to leave honest feedback about any pharmacy, remain anonymous.

I understand the need to keep anonymous. However I can tell you that I recently had an email exchange with someone who was answering a question I posted. Very pretty lady with 200+ cheery posts, if that's her picture. The woman sounded very deeply disturbed. Disturbed enough for me to worry about her and her safety. Either out of realizing what she had written or because of her mental condition, she set a block on her account to refuse all email. I wish I could see if she's OK.

Instead of throwing YOUR CUSTOMERS under the bus why don't you
take care of it in a private way, not on an Internet forum. Sounds a little more professional to me anyway.

I think Chris was just trying to make a point. I don't think he was serious about going incognito stirring up the waters.

However, he made a valid point. He has to deal with all the negativism about the service he provides when the allegations may not even be valid which affects his livelyhood, yet HIS HANDS are pretty well tied as far as he can go in responding. I heard it said somewhere that it takes 6 positive compliments to make up for 1 negative criticism.

I think admin gave the best advice. If a problem needs assistance from the ROP, it is best to use the forum on the ROPs server or call the ROP to seek resolution. For two reasons: Give the ROP time to resolve the situation for you and two, to aid with the staying anonymous.

This was clearly a knee-jerk reaction gone bad from what I have read. I cannot state from experience though as I have not used YPM but if I ever need to go back to a ROP, I believe I would start with YPM first after hearing what YPMChris had to say about their operation. JMO

Gosh no! It is a good question, and I really don’t know the answer. I know DB has strict Rules for OCS reps. I think it would be unethical for an OCS rep to post as a regular member, and I am pretty sure it is prohibited without full disclosure to administration.

Sorry if this has been covered already...

But does/has DB provided LE with webserver logs? I've seen sights in the past that simply don't keep webserver logs at all... that would be a little comforting to those posting on this board.

Looks like this website is hosted in NC, USA... This means logs could be obtained from Vertex Hosting directly without even having to Notify DB, so maybe my question is moot...

When we ask our members to be anonymous we only do it so posters can discuss their buying experiences, and medical and pharmaceutical information in safety and privacy... this is medical and confidential stuff that needs to be protected... and anonymity is needed to keep the information flowing and to prevent any potential problem with pharmacies, OCS's, and to make sure people like your neighbour or boss do not find out who you are on our message boards...

This thread is not about protecting criminals from LE... this recommendation is just to protect the privacy of legitimate patients, normal people with a medical condition, using a public message board like ours :-)

If you are worried about your internet connection, phone, and every activity being monitored by LE... if you are being followed... then you have bigger problems than what we are here to help you with...

Thank you for your support

I personally cant agree with this more.. especially as i have been one of the guilty ones requesting the info. Our CS handles the issues, and gets me included if need be, and thats the way it should be. I hope that customers continue keeping this thread alive... as it should be followed to the T.

Also because of all the sites that are consolidating, & the way they are buying up customer stats from the places closing up, who knows, as the DEA is shutting down these places, they might be using the cs base & setting up for when they go after the c/s. Just a paranoid thought.

Not paranoid at all. You know the DEA is after ROPs, script mills and double dipping pain patients (in KY & Tenn) thay are after patients and all of the above. DEA agents are laughing at pain patients. Assuming diversion is happening.. It is all a big joke. I believe that there are cases being made (or trying to be made) when the same names pop up in different ROP raids. Madison Pain - a hard service to use and pay for is the latest. It is the end. Just face it.

AMEN...

i am not sure why people refuse to see this! makes me glad i have never had to use an ROP... one order with an NROP in my entire online history... the rest being from my B&M doc...

i am not knocking anyone, believe you me... i am here to keep up with the info just in case i would need to use an ROP one day.... looks like those days may be coming to an end sooner than we think.

i hope i am wrong.

I am still confused about the PMP States. Why only KY & TN? I know there are alot more states that have this monitoring system. Is the 2 above just more strict? I do see "No Ship" States on several states, but almost all of them have these 2 states, so what is the difference between these 2 states and all the other states with monitoring programs?

Also, I agree, totally, that names, emails, etc. should never be used.

When it comes to the topic of this thread...
LE, and the DEA are really the last of the last thing most of our members have to worry about.

But if you info gets into the hands of a stalker, a nut case, your boss, you neighbor... then you have a lot to worry... and most likely you will not be able to ask LE to help becasue you will most likely not know where the attack is coming from...

You have read about some horror stories happening to forum, or chatroom participants. They can happen to you as well!

Nasty things have happened to some of our members that did not remain anonymous... their names have been made public, jobs have been lost, posts have been used in divorse cases, meds have been stolen, threats and nasty calls have been made... you name it...
A few of those that did not remain anonymous had to pay a price they did not think was so high...

DO NOT LET IT HAPPEN TO YOU!

It is very imrtant to be safe and it is very easy to be safe.
Just do not give you pprivete information, like name, phone, email, or similar to anyone that knows you board username and viceversa... do not give dthose that know who you are you board username...

Not being safe can have devatating consequences...

To OCS owners and reps: please do not ask our members to PM you their real names or reference numbers. That info must be provided by email. Please do not use our board for customer service. Answer questions in a general way. Do not ask our members to give up their anonymity. Do not ask our members to give you their real name.

To our members: do not disclose your username to OCS's.
It is very important to remain anomymous. If you disclose your name and username you will not be able to post in an anomymous way. If OCS's know your name an username they may be forced to deny you service based on your posts... and you may not be able to post as you wish if something goes wrong.

WE STRONGLY RECOMMEND THAT OUR MEMBERS REMAIN anomymous. DO NOT DISCLOSE YOUR USERNAME TO ANYONE!


We know this is in the best interest of all. We have seen that those that do not follow this recommendation end up with problems that could have been avoided...

This is not about LE. This is common sense and about privacy...

Some examples of what can go wrong very wrong:
You give your board username to a co-worker. He gives it to your boss. Your boss does not like what you post: you are fired
You tell your wife / husband your board username. She, he uses what you posted to file a divorse
You tell your friends your board username... you post you just received your order... someone breaks into your house
You give your username to an OCS rep. They deny you service based on what you posted

To share info on buying meds, prescription drugs, your health, and medicine... privacy is a must... that is why patients info is protected so much...


Please: remain anomymous!



Please post other good reasons to remain anomymous online...

Try using different usernames to log at OCS's and IOP's and if your board username is "crazylobster999" do not think that people can not figure out who you are if your email is crazylobster999@hotmail.com


Thank you

When we ask our members to be anonymous we only do it so posters can discuss their buying experiences, and medical and pharmaceutical information in safety and privacy... this is medical and confidential stuff that needs to be protected... and anonymity is needed to keep the information flowing and to prevent any potential problem with pharmacies, OCS's, and to make sure people like your neighbour or boss do not find out who you are on our message boards...

This thread is not about protecting criminals from LE... this recommendation is just to protect the privacy of legitimate patients, normal people with a medical condition, using a public message board like ours :-)

If you are worried about your internet connection, phone, and every activity being monitored by LE... if you are being followed... then you have bigger problems than what we are here to help you with...

Thank you for your support

Also use some common sense when posting your troubles with an OCS.. If your package was lost stolen or you received the wrong meds. Don't be too specific, There isn't that many problems, and it's easy to figure out who you are.

Some OCS wield this information with reckless abandon.

Many people PM the OCS with names order numbers etc.. please email this info and don't PM the reps, I cannot tell how many PM there order number and names, and I try my best to tell everyone to email not PM.

Also never put your email addy or order ID's on a post, that is private info and should not be on the board.

Oh so true. I also am a firm believe people should not use their real names as email addresses, unless for work and needed, but not to email a service or people you know from a board.

Oh, wow.

I'm going to switch my e-mail address to an anonymous one right now.

I also thought of another consequence of making your screen name one that allows readers to know your identity: your KIDS could figure out who you are and might even try to place orders themselves. No kidding, prescription drugs are huge right now. (In my day it was keggers and pot... but I digress.)

Teens, especially, have these pill parties where everyone dumps random pills into a bowl and then they take them randomly not knowing what they're taking or what the effects will be.

Your teenagers could figure out how to access these online pharmacies and even charge to their parents' accounts. When I paid around $7 for 60 1 mg. generic Xanax prescription at the pharmacy drive-though, my teen son said "Did you know I could get around $350 for that?"

I had no idea. Xanax knocks me out so I can sleep; I don't know why teens would want to sleep when they're supposed to be out having a good time. But maybe it affects our systems differently than benzos affect teens' systems.

Just my random thoughts.

This is critical information. In order for us to post openly and honestly about OCS/ROPs/NROPs etc..,,we must remain invisible.

For the newer members,,there have been oldtimers in the past who shared their DB log on names with their ROP,,this is a crucial error. They will not honor you,,so you are putting yourself out there for the world to see and perceivably sacrificing your standing with their service.

Regardless of what is offered you,,do NOT give up your DB user name to any site you order from.

Obviously this is apparent to the oldtimers,,but wanted to reinforce this dire warning for the newer members.

Not to mention all the posts show up on the great information highway. Take someones user name that is distinct. google that name and you see all the posts.... Never disclose. I had one person even copy my pm to them and post them out in the open when they got angry at something I replied to. (they have since apologized) So don't do it. It is in your best interest. Listento admin and the others.

Heck Yeah!

I have googled my username and seen things that shouldnt be seen by others.

Imagine if the OCS does the same? They can dig up dirt you never thought was possible. Uh,like your real name,address which you have already given them,dang they can even pull up a credit check,last address,criminal background and the list goes on..

I cannot stress this enough,,,Never give your user name to any service you are using! Trust Admin,they know what the freak their talking about!

Exactly,,

The oldtimers have learned,which I will share,Never give your user name to an OPS,as Admin has repeatedly stressed.

Yes,we can be googled under our user names(bots on the internet) but no one knows who you are unless you give them(OPS/friends) this particular data.

Dang,,please use caution. After all,this is part of the internet. I can't stress this enough.

You should also never use the same username/avatar at different sites, either. If someone wants to search you, like Jeremiah said - they'll google your screen name or identify your avatar at other message boards. Besides, DrugBuyers is a public site and anyone from the search engines can look up your postings and read though the threads.

...And never give your screen name to an IOP. That's just asking for problems.

sarahte, this site is also called epharmacy. In other words, epharmacy and drugbuyers are the same site but with different names. Some people feel more comfortable visiting a site called something other than drugbuyers.

When we post feedback on a purchase and provide details such as what was ordered, date purchased, date sent, date arrived, etc. I don't think it would be too hard for an IOP to figure out who you are on here. It has actually happened to me that an IOP that had figured out who I was based on a feedback post asked me have another post changed or deleted. Advice?

I have seen that happen to friends and posters. I will not post anything that I wouldn't tell them sraight to them. I really wouldn't post If I have anything to loose at all. Never but never give out your real name. That would not stop le from doing what they want but it would be yet another layer of bs to get to you. I see that if the majority of the members/consumers are receiving they do not want to hear anything else, especially if they know the board is being monitored and other factors that I will not bother with now.

So really the least amount of posting appears to be the most advantagous for many reasons. Unless you just want to suck up to the monitor/op.

Stagger your info. Don't run from the mailbox to the keyboard. It is up to you how to post. Anyone looking for names and addresses is (probably) not to be trusted.

O.K. that is really (as has been said by others) creepy that a quick google search of my username comes up with my profile page and posts. My username is actually a combination of a mispelled word and a typo so mine is really unique. I tried to fix it once 5 or 6 years ago but got locked out and couldn't sign in until I contacted Admin.

Is there any way to change that without getting locked out or having to start all over accumulating posts?

Musician - I agree about being anonymous - to protect oneself. BUT, do we need to be paranoid? Maybe yes? People want to connect with one another. Is that just wishful thinking? If so, please tell me.

I apologize if these questions are - dumb. And maybe I should know this already, yes. I tend to be trusting and this is probably not a good thing in this environment. You could do a great help to someone like myself and give me info. Thanks.

PW Rain I wish I had good advice. I answered a pm from someone I did not know. She was here a long time. I saw many posts and none were anything to make me suspicious of her. She had a very warm personality and we wrote back and forth. Suddenly she said she was laid up and she could not get her pills she was unable to care for her small children one a baby. We both ordered from the same place. She told me what she needed and I ordered it explaining to our source what I was doing. She promised to have her DH pay me when he returned home by sending the source a credit in my name. It was not my real name I used I am lucky about that.

The result was I lost $400. However when I told the source what happened he sent me her name and address and all info on her. I outed her on this site. I was not alone in losing money. Admin helped in every way banning her.

Since that time I am very careful. I admit I have made some wonderful friends here. My mistake was paying for her order. I would never do that again.

Yet she was successful in doing that to many.

So I would say don't give out your phone number or your real name and never help anyone with money problems. It was foolish of me because I could not afford to do it.

I have always been the type to trust others and I try not to be rude.

I hope I can still accomplish that. I am working on it but this latest NBG thing has me thinking about how members can be so deceiving.

I think in life if we loose all faith in people we loose out on meeitng some great people, but with that said, we all have to be careful, especially and i say that very seriouse especially on a site like this. However, I have no problem people PMING me or chatting. It is my choice what information I give them. I was involved with a health board years ago, and honestly be it on line or real life there are scammers out there, who will on you. I recantly in my local area took dinners to the needy at the holidays, and once I got there, I realized they were full of [censored]. If you can afford ciggaretts you sure can afford food for your kid, or give it up. But that is my opinion, or stop going out to eat or what ever. Anyway, never feel bad if you feel you were scammed.Feel pity for the sick slug who did it to you. I truly believe what comes around goes around. Over my years on line, I have given my cell out a few times and made some great friends as well as had a nasty stalker or two who started out normal then well sure fooled me. I am a very non trusting person due to that, but I still give someone a chance, but only once. But this particular place, I see many differant types of people, some I would avoid like the plague and others are here for the same reason I am or so it seems but all JMOP so I totally understand all views. We have to remember we tell our kids to be careful with strangers so we need to follow our own advice

That is very good advice.

A person can get taken any where.

I know what you mean about giving to people who smoke. Cigarettes are so expensive.

Last year our church asked for donations for a family. They said they were struggling. They had on their list a video recorder and videos, electronics, and expensive items. I was annoyed. Yet the members did collect the money and gave them the items. They never were at church and they lived close by.

Musician7 that would have bugged me as well. But the thought behind the giving is what matters, I suppose. But I feel if truly in need I think the kids need clothes and food before video games but what do I know lol lol. But I kind of feel this way as well, if someone wants to find out who I am and has to feel the need to look me up that is going to be on them, but not going to give them to much information lol. I admit, i have gotten much more careful, even on craigs list and places like that, i never go alone anymore. Danielwa good point and taken lol

Who can blame you. This NBG thing brought back a lot of bad memories for me. It is so sad when a person has a big heart and then they get hurt.

What angered me even more was he turned the tables and lied about you. I had the same thing with Perez. They want to draw the attention away from themselves.

They are sociopaths and actually feel proud they pulled it off.

The only thing you should ever put up is a username and not anything close to your real name. Even birth dates are more than you should disclose. Over time these little bits of real information from diffent sites can be assembled to give a crook enough info to steal your identity and cause havoc.

Musician, that makes me SO sad. This person was plotting - with the clear intent of taking advantage. This is something that would happen to me too. Because I am too trusting.

Ya know, I just don't know what way to go. If you trust noone, then you cannot connect with anyone. But if trust everyone, you open yourself to scammers. What does one DO? I do not want to change who I am, but I don't want to be a "patsy" either.

Makes me just want to go sit in my comfy chair and cry. Or listen to this absolutely delightful music. Mozart.

Musician, you acted in a very compassionate way and have no reason whatsoever to feel bad about it (other than the lost $$). You are the "salt of the earth" type of person and the more of them the better. Please, please don't change. The problem was not with you, au contraire - it was with the scammer. Please remember this. Don't let anyone change you. Yes, acquire wisdom, but always remain compassionate and caring. 'K?

I believe, if we let "low lifes" change us, that they, in effect, control us. There will always be these "people" who try to take advantage, but do not give in to the urge to become cynical - that takes away from quality of life so much.

OK, I'll get off my podium. Just care.

Thank you for the kind words.

I see members telling their age and birthdays and I won't do that. I tell the month but that is it.

There are so many people here I do care about. I know they are good people too.

Many are so helpful. I see Nephro giving advice on drugs and he is so knowledgeable. He is a very giving person.

There are about a dozen here that I trust.

I agree music is therapy. It can certainly change a person's mood.

Yes, musician, you are indeed correct. Best to keep our personal info - personal. I have trouble with this - I want everyone to "know" me. But it is foolish and I recognize it as such. And I would ask anyone reading my posts to "call" me on this.

Well it is late. My daughter sees me falling asleep in the chair.
Go to bed Mom. OK. PNW time is 12:30. I'm a little kid.

Goodnight all. It was just swell conversing with y'all today. May we do it again tomorrow.

I think the examples in the first post pretty much sums it up. I think most users should be able to understand why after that. especially the wife/husband using this info against you in a divorce, or in the decision of who the children should go to. if they find out you're purchasing pills online and use that against you in court, you can bet your butt you won't be seeing the children without a monitor.

That is why you should do the following for perceived controversial websites, such as this:

1) Use a generic name, or a name you have never used before.

2) Don't divulge your REAL email or Location/Address.

3) Don't allow an IOP to easily link your details with your board name.

Time and time again, people have attempted to screw me over (outside of the DB world) and I have found incredible information on them, using online resources. Such as their hobbies, physical address, date of birth, email address, siblings, parents, educational instituitions attended etc etc.... Once someone has your name, you are easily compromised.

I believe it is PMS. Think about it!


You need to access another IP address. I'm not going to go into detail on how to do it from the same computer, but will say this, if you use another machine, (preferably from a different location) you'll be able to log on. certainly if you log on from another location, like your home, office, etc. just do some research and you'll also see there's ways to spoof your IP address.
and no, admins, I don't use them. <shrug>
