A drug dealer is facing quite a few accusations today, after behaving in a very un-drug dealer like way.
Mitchell Ellis [25] had reportedly set up a Wickr account in the hopes of offloading some weed and pingers and was initially met with quite a few responses in his area.
Considering he only worked part-time as a bartender and could quickly answer every query, he figured that the twenty or messages to his profile would net him a pretty penny.
However, after answering his customers within a short time frame, he was instantly met with hostility and messages suggesting he was definitely a narc. Our reporter spoke with Mitchell to find out why he’s having so much trouble.
“Yeah it’s a bit odd, I figured anyone looking for a baggie would want a quick response, I like to value people’s time, you know?”
“But yeah, no one was keen. Even had one bloke block me after I suggested a straight forward drop off procedure.”
“Answered within half an hour and suggested the Ponds Maccas, as everyone’s off their chops there anyway.”
“Got accused of being a cop.”
Adding that he’d been unable to sell his products to anyone, Mitchell agrees that he needs to change his tactic in order to earn people’s trust.
“Yeah definitely treat em mean, keep them keen I think.” “Next time I’ll make sure to wait at least three hours to respond, and then an hour between each message.”
“Make it as unnecessarily awkward and complicated as possible.”
“That should work.”
More to come.
