these appear more around the end of the year, which is when people are ordering ahead and in a hurry, 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, bank and card provider first
an anonymous group buy organiser holding other peoples money is the highest risk arrangement in this hobby, no names, no personal details
documents not people
fair point, added to the watchlist
bank first
no escrow here
lookalike spotted report it even if nothing happens. the pattern is the value, not the individual case
say that again, you read the shape
i have never seen a real supplier ask for payment to a personal account, this is not about anyone in the directory
less good news update from 21 months ago: the domain from that report is still live and still fake, one character out, as usual
a fake tracking number that resolves on no carrier at all is conclusive. one that resolves and stalls is not, we do not arbitrate here
do not engage. do not negotiate. do not send a test payment. screenshot and post it, lifted from a real certificate probably
group buy organiser has gone quiet after 11 days, what do people do
