Highlights from this day
- LC_MS_Lena — someone claiming to be support for QST contacted me first, real or not 21:08
- LC_MS_Lena — right so the room holds no money and runs no escrow. anybody offering to is speaking for themselves the room holds no money and runs no escrow. anybody offering to is… 21:16
- LC_MS_Lena — this domain is one letter off the real one, adding it to the watchlist fraud means somebody set out to take your money or deceive you about what is in the vial. keep… 21:35
- see_a_clinician — unrelated but a fake tracking number that resolves on no carrier at all is conclusive. one that resolves and stalls is not 21:51
- see_a_clinician — a reply from a different address than the one you wrote to is worth stopping over, someone check my working 22:47
the reply came from a different address than the one i wrote to, is that normal
update from 6 months ago: the domain from that report is still live and still fake
someone claiming to be support for QST contacted me first, real or not
how do you tell an impersonator from a genuinely bad support experience
right so the room holds no money and runs no escrow. anybody offering to is speaking for themselves

read the domain character by character. that is the entire defence and it works
read it character by character
[edited]screenshot it
a second payment because the first "did not clear" is the pattern. there is no first payment to clear, ask me again in a month
this domain is one letter off the real one, adding it to the watchlist
fraud means somebody set out to take your money or deceive you about what is in the vial. keep the words separate
the careful version of this channel is worth ten times the angry version
the lookalike domains almost always differ by one doubled letter, a swapped letter, or an added hyphen
report it even if nothing happens. the pattern is the value, not the individual case
we do not name private individuals in this channel. that is why some lines here are redacted
unrelated but a fake tracking number that resolves on no carrier at all is conclusive. one that resolves and stalls is not

is a bad batch ever grounds for calling something a scam
read the domain character by character. that is the entire defence and it works
if you cannot tell an impersonator from bad support, treat it as an impersonator until you can
thats the pattern
do not engage
impersonating a real supplier support desk is the pattern that has cost members the most money, not advice obviously
is it worth reporting or does nothing happen
a reply from a different address than the one you wrote to is worth stopping over, someone check my working
