Highlights from this day
  • tam_logs — relabelling and marking up is retail, not fraud. it is a risk profile question, not a crime 16:34
  • non_scale_win — a fake tracking number that resolves on no carrier at all is conclusive. one that resolves and stalls is not, for what its worth 17:26
  • tam_logs — anyone recognise this pattern, a discount that expires in an hour an anonymous group buy organiser holding other peoples money is the highest risk arrangement in this… 17:34
  • private_script_pri — fraud means somebody set out to take your money or deceive you about what is in the vial. keep the words separate 19:20

PS

fraud means somebody set out to take your money or deceive you about what is in the vial. keep the words separate
