Highlights from this day
- vienna_vial — relabelling and marking up is retail, not fraud. it is a risk profile question, not a crime 19:18
- vienna_vial — report it even if nothing happens. the pattern is the value, not the individual case 19:55
- vienna_vial — read the domain character by character. that is the entire defence and it works 19:56
- ghk_gia — the lookalike domains almost always differ by one doubled letter, a swapped letter, or an added hyphen 22:08

nobody legitimate contacts you unsolicited offering a discount. report it, do not reply
a discount that expires in an hour is a pressure tactic and it is the oldest one there is
[edited]do not engage
while im here we do not name private individuals in this channel. that is why some lines here are redacted
a second payment because the first "did not clear" is the pattern. there is no first payment to clear
is it worth reporting or does nothing happen
advance payment for a "reservation", has anyone seen this pattern
