got an unsolicited message offering a discount, is this a known thing

do not engage

thats a bad batch not fraud

if you cannot tell an impersonator from bad support, treat it as an impersonator until you can
the room holds no money and runs no escrow. anybody offering to is speaking for themselves

tracking number does not resolve on any carrier, is that a fake

is an underfilled vial fraud or a bad batch

Reminder set. I will post here in 3 days.

impersonating a real supplier support desk is the pattern that has cost members the most money

a bad batch is not a scam. an underfill is not a scam. slow support is not a scam, n of 1 obviously

what is the actual advice, just do not engage

the lookalike domains almost always differ by one doubled letter, a swapped letter, or an added hyphen

thats retail not fraud

classic advance fee

pressure tactic

nobody legitimate contacts you unsolicited offering a discount. report it, do not reply, happy to be corrected

i was wrong to call something a scam in 2024 and it was a fill problem. i try to remember that

thats the pattern

for the archive this certificate has the same chromatogram as one from two years ago

while im here certificate looks recycled from another lot, second opinion

a reply from a different address than the one you wrote to is worth stopping over, thats just me

thats forged

relabelling and marking up is retail, not fraud. it is a risk profile question, not a crime

a second payment because the first "did not clear" is the pattern. there is no first payment to clear, still working it out
