if you cannot tell an impersonator from bad support, treat it as an impersonator until you can
read the domain character by character. that is the entire defence and it works
they asked for a second payment because the first one "did not clear"
do not engage. do not negotiate. do not send a test payment. screenshot and post it
i have never seen a real supplier ask for payment to a personal account
thats forged
relabelling and marking up is retail, not fraud. it is a risk profile question, not a crime
anyone recognise this pattern, a discount that expires in an hour
the lookalike domains almost always differ by one doubled letter, a swapped letter, or an added hyphen
quick one advance payment for a "reservation", has anyone seen this pattern
nobody legitimate contacts you unsolicited offering a discount. report it, do not reply
redacting that
is it worth reporting or does nothing happen
a bad batch is not a scam. an underfill is not a scam. slow support is not a scam
