I think I have been scammed as well.
I had a number of e-commerce sites set up and ready to sell physical products starting in February.
However, in January, I was approached by
@CoronaVirus who threatened me and my business. Saying that it would to kill me and wipe out my business if I stepped outside my house. (I will post screenshots of the full conversation when I get home)
At first I thought it was a joke, but when I logged into BHW, I saw other people having the same problems as well. People were saying that Coronavirus had got ahold of their suppliers in China and killed their dropshipping businesses.
I saw a few people make threads about it to warn others, but other people would come in and say there was no threat and nothing was wrong. That the person who made the thread was "fearmongering". I think those comments may have been fake comments from Coronavirus to throw people off the scent.
I called my supplier to ensure my products were safe, but was told there were no guarantees that I could still sell physical products on my site. They didn't have much information to offer. The info they did provide, was vague.
I am in the process of adjusting my businesses now to sell other things just in case, but something needs to be done immediately because there is no telling who all may be affected. We need to stop this before others get hurt.
No one should be allowed to enter the forum and roam around killing people and their businesses. This person needs to be banned from the forum, and a special moderator should be put in place to oversee all new accounts to make sure Coronavirus does not try to open another BHW account under another name and continue this destructive behavior.
Here is what I know so far:
1. Threats came from an ip address in China.
2. It might be a team of people making the threats because BHW members in New York, London, Italy have all reported major problems in those areas as well.
I will report back when I have additional info.
