coming back after 12 months, is the watchlist still maintained

VI

a reply from a different address than the one you wrote to is worth stopping over

the careful version of this channel is worth ten times the angry version

PP

a bad batch is not a scam. an underfill is not a scam. slow support is not a scam, thats one data point

update from 5 months ago: the domain from that report is still live and still fake, anyway

BS

a discount that expires in an hour is a pressure tactic and it is the oldest one there is

PP

report it even if nothing happens. the pattern is the value, not the individual case

PP

a second payment because the first "did not clear" is the pattern. there is no first payment to clear

BS

unrelated but they asked for a second payment because the first one "did not clear"

PP

the room holds no money and runs no escrow. anybody offering to is speaking for themselves

BS

unrelated but an anonymous group buy organiser holding other peoples money is the highest risk arrangement in this hobby

screenshot it

is an underfilled vial fraud or a bad batch

CO

group buy organiser has gone quiet after 12 days, what do people do

someone claiming to be support for JEEP contacted me first, real or not

[edited]
CO

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

tracking number does not resolve on any carrier, is that a fake

how do you tell an impersonator from a genuinely bad support experience
