!!scammers!!

hail metalheads,

I am writing to report a scammer who is active in the community and using his TShirtSlayer reputation to sell cheap forged bootlegs as rare, premium vintage merchandise.

The user goes by the name Akhkharu on tss.

he recently tried to sell me a Sorhin «I det glimrande mörkrets djup» long sleeve for a premium vintage price. To convince me, he heavily referenced his TSS profile, his "20 years of collecting," and spun a wild story: claiming the shirt was an official 2017 die-hard reprint limited to 25 copies, which he supposedly received as a personal gift directly from Nattfursth, complete with an autographed band photo.

I inspected the package before paying, and it was an absolute scam. here are the concrete facts:

1. The shirt had an inner tag with text in Ukrainian. Obviously, a Swedish band wasn't printing exclusive 2017 merch on cheap local Ukrainian stretch fabric.
2. It was an awful, glossy DTG/sublimation patch with blurred details, completely different from proper screen printing.
3. I contacted the official Sorhin Instagram page and showed them his photos. They explicitly confirmed that the autograph is 100% fake and the "rare photo" is just a cheap xerox copy they never sent out.
i rejected the package and didn't lose my money, but he will definitely try to scam other collectors using his TSS profile as a shield.
i have uploaded all the evidence here (photos of the modern Ukrainian tag, the terrible print quality, and the direct screenshot of the band's reply calling out the fake signature)
all of his stuff except CDs are fake.
