i was wrong to call something a scam in 2024 and it was a fill problem. i try to remember that
for the archive group buy organiser has gone quiet after 11 days, what do people do
follow up a bad batch is not a scam. an underfill is not a scam. slow support is not a scam
no names please
screenshot it
relabelling and marking up is retail, not fraud. it is a risk profile question, not a crime

the room holds no money and runs no escrow. anybody offering to is speaking for themselves
a second payment because the first "did not clear" is the pattern. there is no first payment to clear
read it character by character
impersonating a real supplier support desk is the pattern that has cost members the most money
a reply from a different address than the one you wrote to is worth stopping over
while im here i have never seen a real supplier ask for payment to a personal account
