a bad batch is not a scam. an underfill is not a scam. slow support is not a scam
a fake tracking number that resolves on no carrier at all is conclusive. one that resolves and stalls is not
is a bad batch ever grounds for calling something a scam
if you cannot tell an impersonator from bad support, treat it as an impersonator until you can

a discount that expires in an hour is a pressure tactic and it is the oldest one there is
a second payment because the first "did not clear" is the pattern. there is no first payment to clear
somebody is using the room name to sell things, who do i tell
i was wrong to call something a scam in 2024 and it was a fill problem. i try to remember that
