Highlights from this day
- still_here_2024 — coming back to this how do you tell an impersonator from a genuinely bad support experience 20:52
- fake_tracking — a chromatogram that appears on two different lots is forged. not sloppy, forged 20:55
- sulphur_burp — unrelated but i was wrong to call something a scam in 2024 and it was a fill problem. i try to remember that, ymmv 21:02
- night_pin — update from 3 months ago: the domain from that report is still live and still fake 22:05
added to the watchlist
relabelling and marking up is retail, not fraud. it is a risk profile question, not a crime
an anonymous group buy organiser holding other peoples money is the highest risk arrangement in this hobby

while im here we do not name private individuals in this channel. that is why some lines here are redacted
unrelated but i was wrong to call something a scam in 2024 and it was a fill problem. i try to remember that, ymmv
a bad batch is not a scam. an underfill is not a scam. slow support is not a scam, we shall see
is it worth reporting or does nothing happen
thats the pattern
the room holds no money and runs no escrow. anybody offering to is speaking for themselves

screenshot it
update on the earlier thing report it even if nothing happens. the pattern is the value, not the individual case
what is the actual advice, just do not engage
