we do not name private individuals in this channel. that is why some lines here are redacted
a reply from a different address than the one you wrote to is worth stopping over
this domain is one letter off the real one, adding it to the watchlist
is it worth reporting or does nothing happen
someone claiming to be support for ERP contacted me first, real or not
report it even if nothing happens. the pattern is the value, not the individual case
coming back after 23 months, is the watchlist still maintained
coming back to this the reply came from a different address than the one i wrote to, is that normal
thats retail not fraud
added to the watchlist
relabelling and marking up is retail, not fraud. it is a risk profile question, not a crime
redacting that

the careful version of this channel is worth ten times the angry version
nobody legitimate contacts you unsolicited offering a discount. report it, do not reply
a bad batch is not a scam. an underfill is not a scam. slow support is not a scam
a chromatogram that appears on two different lots is forged. not sloppy, forged
this certificate has the same chromatogram as one from two years ago
read the domain character by character. that is the entire defence and it works
fraud means somebody set out to take your money or deceive you about what is in the vial. keep the words separate
do not engage. do not negotiate. do not send a test payment. screenshot and post it
an anonymous group buy organiser holding other peoples money is the highest risk arrangement in this hobby
pressure tactic
