Highlights from this day
- factory_direct_fi — if you are asked to pay a second time because the first "did not clear", stop and post it in the scam channel 18:27
- ferrous_ash — do you check the whole address or just the ends 19:04
- ferrous_ash — a bank transfer leaves a paper trail and no recourse. people should know both halves of that 19:57
- private_script_pri — update from 8 months ago: fees are lower than they were and the discount maths has changed 20:37
- ferrous_ash — the room holds no money, brokers nothing, and runs no escrow. that has never moved 21:13

no escrow here
do not send a test payment to prove anything to anyone. that is a pattern, not a precaution
post it in scam watch
nobody can verify an address belongs to who you think it does. that is the actual problem with all of this
the room holds no money, brokers nothing, and runs no escrow. that has never moved
thats gone sorry
network fees were higher than the discount, has anyone done that maths
is there a way to verify an address belongs to who you think it does
paying in two parts is sometimes offered and it does not reduce your risk, it splits it
do you check the whole address or just the ends

polite message usually fixes it
[edited]sorry to jump in i keep every transaction reference in a note with the order. it has been useful twice
i wait for the confirmations the supplier states and then one more before i chase anything

check the total
check first and last four
stablecoin or not while an order is pending
a bank transfer leaves a paper trail and no recourse. people should know both halves of that

thats a scam pattern

there are no chargebacks here. that is the trade you are making and it should be a conscious one
anyone had a payment arrive and the order not update
update from 8 months ago: fees are lower than they were and the discount maths has changed

i triple check the address and i have still had a moment of pure panic every single time
invoice mismatches happen. check the total against what you actually sent, not against what you meant to send
i have had a payment confirm and the order not update for two days. it resolved with one polite message
the room holds no money, brokers nothing, and runs no escrow. that has never moved

how long do you wait before chasing an unconfirmed payment

check the first four and the last four characters of the address. every single time, no exceptions
is there any chargeback route at all
coming back after 9 months, has anything changed on fees
keep the reference
on a small order the fee can be a meaningful fraction. on a large one the discount wins easily
