is an underfilled vial fraud or a bad batch
an anonymous group buy organiser holding other peoples money is the highest risk arrangement in this hobby

a second payment because the first "did not clear" is the pattern. there is no first payment to clear
*VendorInvestigate not the other one
fraud means somebody set out to take your money or deceive you about what is in the vial. keep the words separate
thats retail not fraud
a chromatogram that appears on two different lots is forged. not sloppy, forged
what is the actual advice, just do not engage
read it character by character
