Highlights from this day
- step_one_sian — genuine question a bad batch is not a scam. an underfill is not a scam. slow support is not a scam 12:46
- rotate_the_site — a second payment because the first "did not clear" is the pattern. there is no first payment to clear 13:00
- step_one_sian — ok so do not engage. do not negotiate. do not send a test payment. screenshot and post it 13:09
how do you check a domain is the real one without clicking it
thats the pattern
unrelated but impersonating a real supplier support desk is the pattern that has cost members the most money
if you cannot tell an impersonator from bad support, treat it as an impersonator until you can
the careful version of this channel is worth ten times the angry version
coming back to this i have never seen a real supplier ask for payment to a personal account, ymmv
genuine question a bad batch is not a scam. an underfill is not a scam. slow support is not a scam
