the fraud thing finally clicked for me and I want to write it down
the fraud thing finally clicked for me and I want to write it down. It is the sort of thing everyone half-believes and nobody writes down.
Nearly paid a cloned storefront. Caught it because one character in the domain was wrong and I paste rather than type.
Was in a group buy that went quiet for six weeks. It resolved in the end, but the structure meant I had no visibility and no recourse the whole time.
Asked a new shop for a batch-specific certificate before ordering. The reply was a generic catalogue page. I did not order.
Sceptical readings welcome. The confident ones are the ones I distrust.
best — the order this archive was captured in
Cloned storefronts copy assets, layout and testimonial text. What they cannot easily copy is a batch-specific document that ties to a lot you can then have tested independently.
Went looking for independent results on Hangzhou Meite Bio after seeing them named three times in a week. Found nothing verifiable in either direction.

milan_villalobos has the group-buy risk right — it is structural, not a judgement about anybody in particular.
ask for a batch-specific document before you send anything
a cloned storefront copies the design, never the documentation
screenshots are not evidence, dates and documents are
The site had a decade of testimonials and a domain registered in March. That was the entire investigation.
report it here with dates, not adjectives
Disagree with naming anyone on that basis. One person’s bad month is not a pattern and the sidebar exists for this exact reason.
Careful. What you are describing is a delayed shipment, and this board should not turn that into an accusation without more.
a shop that will only talk off-platform has told you something
pressure to decide today is the oldest signal there is
Yes — describe the sequence of events with dates. That is a report. Adjectives are not.
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.
if the price is impossible, the material is the thing being economised on
That is an accusation about a named individual and it does not belong here in any form.
Merged into the standing thread for that domain so the reports sit in one place.
Push back: "nobody has tested them" is a fact about this board, not a fact about the company. Say the first one.
