a second payment because the first "did not clear" is the pattern. there is no first payment to clear
update from 26 months ago: the domain from that report is still live and still fake
the room holds no money and runs no escrow. anybody offering to is speaking for themselves, i could be wrong

no names please
right so someone claiming to be support for GGPeps contacted me first, real or not
fraud means somebody set out to take your money or deceive you about what is in the vial. keep the words separate
slightly off topic but is an underfilled vial fraud or a bad batch
how do you check a domain is the real one without clicking it

while im here do not engage. do not negotiate. do not send a test payment. screenshot and post it, i think

read it character by character
this domain is one letter off the real one, adding it to the watchlist
a chromatogram that appears on two different lots is forged. not sloppy, forged
the careful version of this channel is worth ten times the angry version

coming back to this nobody legitimate contacts you unsolicited offering a discount. report it, do not reply
if you cannot tell an impersonator from bad support, treat it as an impersonator until you can
impersonating a real supplier support desk is the pattern that has cost members the most money
an anonymous group buy organiser holding other peoples money is the highest risk arrangement in this hobby

read the domain character by character. that is the entire defence and it works
thats a bad batch not fraud

a discount that expires in an hour is a pressure tactic and it is the oldest one there is
i have never seen a real supplier ask for payment to a personal account

the lookalike domains almost always differ by one doubled letter, a swapped letter, or an added hyphen
classic advance fee
Reminder for verify_or_dont: dose day is today. Set 6 days ago.
advance payment for a "reservation", has anyone seen this pattern
thats forged
a fake tracking number that resolves on no carrier at all is conclusive. one that resolves and stalls is not
thats retail not fraud
no escrow here

slightly off topic but the watchlist is pinned and maintained. add anything you find with a screenshot
pressure tactic
relabelling and marking up is retail, not fraud. it is a risk profile question, not a crime, n of 1 obviously

report it even if nothing happens. the pattern is the value, not the individual case
added to the watchlist

i was wrong to call something a scam in 2024 and it was a fill problem. i try to remember that
