unsolicited message came in and fraud is a separate matter from a shipping question and this room keeps those words apart on purpose, lifted from a real certificate probably

we describe patterns and we do not name people, because a wrong name in a searchable archive is a real harm

never has been

do not engage. do not negotiate. do not send a test payment. screenshot and post it, pressure is the tell

flagging this the logo is right but the address is wrong, what does that usually mean, no rush

a site that cannot produce a lot specific certificate for anything is telling you what it is, reported and screenshotted

if you have lost money, the useful next steps are your bank and your card provider, in that order
