thats retail not fraud

a fake tracking number that resolves on no carrier at all is conclusive. one that resolves and stalls is not
do not engage
i was wrong to call something a scam in 2024 and it was a fill problem. i try to remember that
classic advance fee
this certificate has the same chromatogram as one from two years ago

thats forged
Recon calculator: 10mg in 1.5ml = 10mg/ml.
screenshot it
nobody legitimate contacts you unsolicited offering a discount. report it, do not reply
is a bad batch ever grounds for calling something a scam
do not engage. do not negotiate. do not send a test payment. screenshot and post it
i have never seen a real supplier ask for payment to a personal account
added to the watchlist

tracking number does not resolve on any carrier, is that a fake
[edited]if you cannot tell an impersonator from bad support, treat it as an impersonator until you can, ill dig out the number
is it worth reporting or does nothing happen
somebody is relabelling and marking up, is that a scam or just retail
coming back after 16 months, is the watchlist still maintained
the lookalike domains almost always differ by one doubled letter, a swapped letter, or an added hyphen, still working it out
right so a bad batch is not a scam. an underfill is not a scam. slow support is not a scam
