we do not name private individuals in this channel. that is why some lines here are redacted, thats just me
thats a bad batch not fraud
added to the watchlist
classic advance fee
somebody is using the room name to sell things, who do i tell

they asked for a second payment because the first one "did not clear"
quick one if you cannot tell an impersonator from bad support, treat it as an impersonator until you can, ask me again in a month
a reply from a different address than the one you wrote to is worth stopping over

report it
certificate looks recycled from another lot, second opinion
advance payment for a "reservation", has anyone seen this pattern
coming back to this report it even if nothing happens. the pattern is the value, not the individual case, not advice obviously
thats retail not fraud
no escrow here
no names please
a discount that expires in an hour is a pressure tactic and it is the oldest one there is
screenshot it

the careful version of this channel is worth ten times the angry version
relabelling and marking up is retail, not fraud. it is a risk profile question, not a crime
the room holds no money and runs no escrow. anybody offering to is speaking for themselves
