Highlights from this day
- karl_fischer — unrelated but someone claiming to be support for Homopeptide contacted me first, real or not relabelling and marking up is retail, not fraud. it is a risk profile… 15:01
- septum_sal — impersonating a real supplier support desk is the pattern that has cost members the most money 15:13

advance payment for a "reservation", has anyone seen this pattern
is it worth reporting or does nothing happen
the room holds no money and runs no escrow. anybody offering to is speaking for themselves
screenshot it
coming back after 24 months, is the watchlist still maintained
sorry to jump in i have never seen a real supplier ask for payment to a personal account, i think
this certificate has the same chromatogram as one from two years ago
update from 3 months ago: the domain from that report is still live and still fake
a bad batch is not a scam. an underfill is not a scam. slow support is not a scam
thats retail not fraud

fraud means somebody set out to take your money or deceive you about what is in the vial. keep the words separate

*PeptideMeter not the other one
unrelated but someone claiming to be support for Homopeptide contacted me first, real or not
relabelling and marking up is retail, not fraud. it is a risk profile question, not a crime

i was wrong to call something a scam in 2024 and it was a fill problem. i try to remember that
an anonymous group buy organiser holding other peoples money is the highest risk arrangement in this hobby

read the domain character by character. that is the entire defence and it works
