the wave continues and the room writes down how to check
Two more forged documents and a fresh crop of lookalike domains arrived, which convinced the channel to stop reacting case by case and write a checklist instead. The result is four steps, takes about five minutes, and has caught three fakes since. The fortnight also involved a lot of patient repetition about what fraud does and does not mean.

What happened
- The checklist is: verify the lot against the vial, check the domain character by character, look for the document elsewhere, and compare the trace baseline.
- A slow support reply was again explained as not being fraud, this time to a member who had escalated a four-day wait into an accusation.
- Unsolicited sales contact was reported eleven times in the fortnight, which is the highest count in the archive to that point.
- Zhuhai Kerui was being impersonated by a near-identical domain, and the channel posted the spelling difference in large characters.
- The mods restated that verification has never been for sale, after somebody offered to pay for it in a way they thought was subtle.
