ok so relabelling and marking up is retail, not fraud. it is a risk profile question, not a crime
this domain is one letter off the real one, adding it to the watchlist
coming back after 12 months, is the watchlist still maintained
a reply from a different address than the one you wrote to is worth stopping over
this certificate has the same chromatogram as one from two years ago
what is the actual advice, just do not engage
the careful version of this channel is worth ten times the angry version
thats a bad batch not fraud
a bad batch is not a scam. an underfill is not a scam. slow support is not a scam, thats one data point
update from 5 months ago: the domain from that report is still live and still fake, anyway
a discount that expires in an hour is a pressure tactic and it is the oldest one there is
report it even if nothing happens. the pattern is the value, not the individual case
a second payment because the first "did not clear" is the pattern. there is no first payment to clear
unrelated but they asked for a second payment because the first one "did not clear"
no escrow here
the room holds no money and runs no escrow. anybody offering to is speaking for themselves
unrelated but an anonymous group buy organiser holding other peoples money is the highest risk arrangement in this hobby
screenshot it

someone claiming to be support for JEEP contacted me first, real or not
[edited]classic advance fee
fraud means somebody set out to take your money or deceive you about what is in the vial. keep the words separate
impersonating a real supplier support desk is the pattern that has cost members the most money
tracking number does not resolve on any carrier, is that a fake
how do you tell an impersonator from a genuinely bad support experience
