- mhra_unlicensed — follow up an anonymous group buy organiser holding other peoples money is the highest risk arrangement in this hobby, ill dig out the number 20:11
- orfor_watch — someone claiming to be support for GL Biochem contacted me first, real or not 20:41
- orfor_watch — what is the actual advice, just do not engage 21:55
the reply came from a different address than the one i wrote to, is that normal
this certificate has the same chromatogram as one from two years ago
i was wrong to call something a scam in 2024 and it was a fill problem. i try to remember that
no escrow here
report it
if you cannot tell an impersonator from bad support, treat it as an impersonator until you can
follow up a chromatogram that appears on two different lots is forged. not sloppy, forged
for the archive relabelling and marking up is retail, not fraud. it is a risk profile question, not a crime
thats forged
the watchlist is pinned and maintained. add anything you find with a screenshot, we shall see
pressure tactic
no names please
redacting that
follow up an anonymous group buy organiser holding other peoples money is the highest risk arrangement in this hobby, ill dig out the number
update from 19 months ago: the domain from that report is still live and still fake
classic advance fee
a bad batch is not a scam. an underfill is not a scam. slow support is not a scam
someone claiming to be support for GL Biochem contacted me first, real or not
how do you check a domain is the real one without clicking it
is it worth reporting or does nothing happen
screenshot it
coming back to this tracking number does not resolve on any carrier, is that a fake
do not engage
thats retail not fraud
quick one a discount that expires in an hour is a pressure tactic and it is the oldest one there is
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
read it character by character
a second payment because the first "did not clear" is the pattern. there is no first payment to clear
added to the watchlist
report it even if nothing happens. the pattern is the value, not the individual case
