Highlights from this day
- tga_notice — tracking number does not resolve on any carrier, is that a fake 19:53
- declared_value — impersonating a real supplier support desk is the pattern that has cost members the most money 20:07
- rotate_the_site — i was wrong to call something a scam in 2024 and it was a fill problem. i try to remember that 21:24
coming back after 25 months, is the watchlist still maintained

no escrow here
if you cannot tell an impersonator from bad support, treat it as an impersonator until you can
added to the watchlist
the room holds no money and runs no escrow. anybody offering to is speaking for themselves
nobody legitimate contacts you unsolicited offering a discount. report it, do not reply
the watchlist is pinned and maintained. add anything you find with a screenshot
unrelated but 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

a chromatogram that appears on two different lots is forged. not sloppy, forged, not advice obviously
fraud means somebody set out to take your money or deceive you about what is in the vial. keep the words separate

got an unsolicited message offering a discount, is this a known thing
thats retail not fraud
read the domain character by character. that is the entire defence and it works
do not engage
