a fake tracking number that resolves on no carrier at all is conclusive. one that resolves and stalls is not, i think
thats retail not fraud
no names please
is an underfilled vial fraud or a bad batch

nobody legitimate contacts you unsolicited offering a discount. report it, do not reply, ask me again in a month
redacting that
the careful version of this channel is worth ten times the angry version

a discount that expires in an hour is a pressure tactic and it is the oldest one there is
while im here is it worth reporting or does nothing happen
update on the earlier thing advance payment for a "reservation", has anyone seen this pattern
right so is a hyphenated version of a real domain always fake
the watchlist is pinned and maintained. add anything you find with a screenshot, from memory
i have never seen a real supplier ask for payment to a personal account
for the archive a second payment because the first "did not clear" is the pattern. there is no first payment to clear
fraud means somebody set out to take your money or deceive you about what is in the vial. keep the words separate

if you cannot tell an impersonator from bad support, treat it as an impersonator until you can
group buy organiser has gone quiet after 4 days, what do people do
a bad batch is not a scam. an underfill is not a scam. slow support is not a scam

update on the earlier thing report it even if nothing happens. the pattern is the value, not the individual case
genuine question this domain is one letter off the real one, adding it to the watchlist
