genuine question the lookalike domains almost always differ by one doubled letter, a swapped letter, or an added hyphen
tracking number does not resolve on any carrier, is that a fake
*that should say weekly
no escrow here
read the domain character by character. that is the entire defence and it works
anyone recognise this pattern, a discount that expires in an hour
i have never seen a real supplier ask for payment to a personal account
slightly off topic but how do you check a domain is the real one without clicking it
pressure tactic
a bad batch is not a scam. an underfill is not a scam. slow support is not a scam
update on the earlier thing someone claiming to be support for FGP contacted me first, real or not
