genuine question about exit scam that I am slightly embarrassed to ask
genuine question about exit scam that I am slightly embarrassed to ask. Searched first, found three threads that contradict each other, hence the post.
Nearly paid a cloned storefront. Caught it because one character in the domain was wrong and I paste rather than type.
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.
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.
Sceptical readings welcome. The confident ones are the ones I distrust.
best — the order this archive was captured in
Domain age, registrar and certificate issuance date are all public and take about a minute to check. A site claiming years of history on a months-old domain is the cheapest signal available.

Correction: that domain is one character different from the one you posted, which is rather the point of this thread.
a cloned storefront copies the design, never the documentation
a shop that will only talk off-platform has told you something
Yes. The thin-evidence names in the directory are thin because nobody has anything on them, which is a different statement from a warning.
never accuse an individual, describe what happened to you
Lost money once, years ago, to a shop that pushed hard for a decision the same day. Every time I see that pressure now I close the tab.
I would separate the two claims. The site being newly registered is checkable. The motive you are inferring is not.
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.
Went looking for independent results on Amino Asylum after seeing them named three times in a week. Found nothing verifiable in either direction.

Agreed. Dates and documents make a report. Adjectives make a thread.
Retitled from an accusation to a description. Same facts, and now the post survives being wrong.
Never name an individual. The sidebar rule exists because the cost of being wrong falls on a person and the benefit of being right falls on nobody in particular.
screenshots are not evidence, dates and documents are
Did you ask for a batch-specific document before paying?
