- taper_tess — someone claiming to be support for WWB contacted me first, real or not 21:08
- taper_tess — what is the actual advice, just do not engage 21:19
- hair_month_four — a chromatogram that appears on two different lots is forged. not sloppy, forged 21:52
- void_volume — certificate looks recycled from another lot, second opinion i was wrong to call something a scam in 2024 and it was a fill problem. i try to remember that 22:42
no names please
a second payment because the first "did not clear" is the pattern. there is no first payment to clear
the watchlist is pinned and maintained. add anything you find with a screenshot
no escrow here
quick one a discount that expires in an hour is a pressure tactic and it is the oldest one there is
someone claiming to be support for WWB contacted me first, real or not
if you cannot tell an impersonator from bad support, treat it as an impersonator until you can
redacting that
update from 7 months ago: the domain from that report is still live and still fake
what is the actual advice, just do not engage
report it
thats the pattern
quick one this certificate has the same chromatogram as one from two years ago
impersonating a real supplier support desk is the pattern that has cost members the most money, thats just me
a chromatogram that appears on two different lots is forged. not sloppy, forged
for the archive a bad batch is not a scam. an underfill is not a scam. slow support is not a scam
pressure tactic
coming back after 4 months, is the watchlist still maintained
somebody is using the room name to sell things, who do i tell
advance payment for a "reservation", has anyone seen this pattern
is a bad batch ever grounds for calling something a scam
thats forged
a fake tracking number that resolves on no carrier at all is conclusive. one that resolves and stalls is not
certificate looks recycled from another lot, second opinion
