I just received a PM on one of the the markets from someone who I believe had been running some listings under a different vendor name from which I attempted to place an order from. Later that day, he got banned for requesting 'FE's without previously being permitted/allowed to by the market. A few days pass and I stay optimistic, 'well, maybe he didn't know you had to be approved to request a 'Finalize Early' and maybe I'll still get my product.
Well, just yesterday I received a private message from a 'youhavebeenwarned' demanding that I deposit 0.5 BTC into the address he specified in the message and then went on to list my sensitive info: name, address, etc "just to show you I'm serious"
