Highlights from this day
  • tokyo_taper — i was wrong to call something a scam in 2024 and it was a fill problem. i try to remember that 20:59
  • tokyo_taper — follow up a bad batch is not a scam. an underfill is not a scam. slow support is not a scam 21:26
  • orfor_watch — relabelling and marking up is retail, not fraud. it is a risk profile question, not a crime 21:57
  • tokyo_taper — a second payment because the first "did not clear" is the pattern. there is no first payment to clear 22:27
  • tokyo_taper — impersonating a real supplier support desk is the pattern that has cost members the most money 22:32

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

a second payment because the first "did not clear" is the pattern. there is no first payment to clear

read it character by character

impersonating a real supplier support desk is the pattern that has cost members the most money

a reply from a different address than the one you wrote to is worth stopping over
