Highlights from this day
  • week_three_wall — ok so i have never seen a real supplier ask for payment to a personal account 17:41
  • reta_resting_hr — fraud means somebody set out to take your money or deceive you about what is in the vial. keep the words separate 18:25
  • triumph_watch — coming back to this a second payment because the first "did not clear" is the pattern. there is no first payment to clear 18:41
  • week_three_wall — a reply from a different address than the one you wrote to is worth stopping over 18:48

follow up if you cannot tell an impersonator from bad support, treat it as an impersonator until you can

thats forged

the room holds no money and runs no escrow. anybody offering to is speaking for themselves

TW

do not engage. do not negotiate. do not send a test payment. screenshot and post it

WT

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

TW

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

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

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

no escrow here
