Highlights from this day
- brisbane_bac — the lookalike domains almost always differ by one doubled letter, a swapped letter, or an added hyphen 07:57
- no_appetite_nia — a reply from a different address than the one you wrote to is worth stopping over 09:06
- swirl_not_shake — fraud means somebody set out to take your money or deceive you about what is in the vial. keep the words separate 09:49
- relabel_watch — impersonating a real supplier support desk is the pattern that has cost members the most money, thats just me 13:02
- brisbane_bac — an anonymous group buy organiser holding other peoples money is the highest risk arrangement in this hobby 13:52
a discount that expires in an hour is a pressure tactic and it is the oldest one there is

[edited]advance payment for a "reservation", has anyone seen this pattern
report it even if nothing happens. the pattern is the value, not the individual case
a bad batch is not a scam. an underfill is not a scam. slow support is not a scam
a reply from a different address than the one you wrote to is worth stopping over

is a hyphenated version of a real domain always fake
fraud means somebody set out to take your money or deceive you about what is in the vial. keep the words separate
what is the actual advice, just do not engage

pressure tactic
thats the pattern
i was wrong to call something a scam in 2024 and it was a fill problem. i try to remember that
impersonating a real supplier support desk is the pattern that has cost members the most money, thats just me

genuine question a chromatogram that appears on two different lots is forged. not sloppy, forged
is an underfilled vial fraud or a bad batch
