classic advance fee
advance payment for a "reservation", has anyone seen this pattern
follow up fraud means somebody set out to take your money or deceive you about what is in the vial. keep the words separate
the watchlist is pinned and maintained. add anything you find with a screenshot, i have it written down somewhere
read the domain character by character. that is the entire defence and it works
thats the pattern

ok so do not engage. do not negotiate. do not send a test payment. screenshot and post it
thats retail not fraud
right so we do not name private individuals in this channel. that is why some lines here are redacted
coming back after 13 months, is the watchlist still maintained
relabelling and marking up is retail, not fraud. it is a risk profile question, not a crime
report it even if nothing happens. the pattern is the value, not the individual case
follow up 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
no names please
