the lookalike domains almost always differ by one doubled letter, a swapped letter, or an added hyphen

how do you check a domain is the real one without clicking it

the watchlist is pinned and maintained. add anything you find with a screenshot, i think

tracking number does not resolve on any carrier, is that a fake

what is the actual advice, just do not engage

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

no escrow here

this certificate has the same chromatogram as one from two years ago

Reminder set. I will post here in 7 days.

nobody legitimate contacts you unsolicited offering a discount. report it, do not reply

added to the watchlist

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

they asked for a second payment because the first one "did not clear"

advance payment for a "reservation", has anyone seen this pattern

anyone recognise this pattern, a discount that expires in an hour

update from 1 months ago: the domain from that report is still live and still fake, take that with a pinch of salt

a fake tracking number that resolves on no carrier at all is conclusive. one that resolves and stalls is not

read it character by character

no names please

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

report it

i have never seen a real supplier ask for payment to a personal account
