Highlights from this day
- no_chargeback — an anonymous group buy organiser holding other peoples money is the highest risk arrangement in this hobby 21:43
- abdo_two_inch — quick one anyone recognise this pattern, a discount that expires in an hour 22:08
- dez_domains — a fake tracking number that resolves on no carrier at all is conclusive. one that resolves and stalls is not 22:47
