if you cannot tell an impersonator from bad support, treat it as an impersonator until you can

UD

read the domain character by character. that is the entire defence and it works

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

do not engage. do not negotiate. do not send a test payment. screenshot and post it

anyone recognise this pattern, a discount that expires in an hour

CO

the lookalike domains almost always differ by one doubled letter, a swapped letter, or an added hyphen

SS

quick one advance payment for a "reservation", has anyone seen this pattern

SS

nobody legitimate contacts you unsolicited offering a discount. report it, do not reply

is it worth reporting or does nothing happen

a bad batch is not a scam. an underfill is not a scam. slow support is not a scam
