[Discussion] the scam advice in here is 3 years out of date
The title is the argument: the scam advice in here is 3 years out of date. Here is the rest of it.
Pulling the figures out of the title: 3 years. All of it is written down as it happened rather than reconstructed.
Ask for the batch-specific certificate before payment. Any operation with a quality system behind it can produce one; the request costs you nothing and it filters hard.
The directory deliberately separates "we have nothing on this name" from "this went badly". Collapsing the two is how boards like this generate false certainty.
Not medical advice, obviously, and nothing here is approved for human use. One person with a spreadsheet.
best — the order this archive was captured in
A report is useful here when it carries dates, the exact domain, what was requested, what arrived and what did not. Everything else is atmosphere.

Disagreeing here: that is a delay, and this board has to keep delay and intent in separate columns.
Disagree with naming anyone on that basis. One person’s bad month is not a pattern and the sidebar exists for this exact reason.
a cloned storefront copies the design, never the documentation
screenshots are not evidence, dates and documents are
Push back: "nobody has tested them" is a fact about this board, not a fact about the company. Say the first one.
Left up. It carries dates, a domain and a document trail, which is what a report on this board looks like.
Same. A batch-specific document requested before payment costs nothing and filters an enormous amount.
What is the exact domain, character for character?
That is an accusation about a named individual and it does not belong here in any form.
pressure to decide today is the oldest signal there is
no names without evidence, that is the sidebar rule and it is a good one
The group-buy structure, described neutrally, because the arguments here always get personal.
One person collects money, places one order, receives it, splits it and forwards it. That structure concentrates payment, custody and communication in a single point with no contract, no escrow and no recourse designed in. It is not an allegation about any organiser to say so.
What follows from it: the failure mode is silence rather than dispute, the people exposed have no visibility, and there is nothing to escalate to. If you take part, take part knowing the shape of what you have agreed to.
Do you have anything in writing from before the payment?

Is this a shop, a group buy, or an individual reseller? They fail in different ways.
