- chlorhex — a discount that expires in an hour is a pressure tactic and it is the oldest one there is 15:21
- marrow.mod — fraud means somebody set out to take your money or deceive you about what is in the vial. keep the words separate 15:47
- swab_dry_first — a chromatogram that appears on two different lots is forged. not sloppy, forged 15:53
- chlorhex — impersonating a real supplier support desk is the pattern that has cost members the most money 17:10
- customs_owl — someone claiming to be support for CPC contacted me first, real or not 17:31

i have never seen a real supplier ask for payment to a personal account
impersonating a real supplier support desk is the pattern that has cost members the most money
someone claiming to be support for CPC contacted me first, real or not
update from 5 months ago: the domain from that report is still live and still fake
classic advance fee
anyone recognise this pattern, a discount that expires in an hour
