[Discussion] fraud is doing more work than we give it credit for

Resolved Clean Column ×4

Quick one. Canada here.

PDF metadata works very differently where I live than in the threads that dominate the front page, and I keep seeing people confidently given advice that simply does not apply outside the US.

Specifics: the route I used took 21 weeks and cost roughly what I expected. The admin was worse than the cost. The thing that would have saved me the most time was knowing which document to ask for at the start.

Happy to answer questions from anyone in the same jurisdiction.

Disagree but this is the good kind of wrong — it is specific enough to be checked.

Batch 12 appeared on QSC, Homopeptide, and QSC claims it is raw material origin. Could be fine, could be reseller. Logged it in the directory.

no doxxing, company registration is fine, individuals are not

This is evidence. The metadata is checkable and it is odd.

This is an urgent-care question wearing a forum question's clothes. Please contact a clinician rather than waiting for replies.

the batch number appearing across three vendors is a red flag

Yes, exactly this, and it is the bit that took me 10 weeks to accept.

group buy exit scams follow a pattern

reseller scams versus fraud scams are different accusations

I love that this community will spend 40 comments on a detail. That pedantry is why the numbers here matter.

Yeah, the batch number across three vendors is a real signal.

Can you post the Medutest result that shows the problem?

The evidence standard in c/vendorvetting gets called too strict about once a month, and every time, the thread ends with the complainant agreeing.

Not to be pedantic but fraud and cloned site are being used interchangeably and they are not interchangeable in real life.

About c/scamalerts

Documented fraud: cloned storefronts, recycled COA PDFs, batch numbers appearing across unrelated vendors, fake test reports, group-buy exit scams, and the small number of patterns that account for almost all of it. Accusations without evidence are removed — not because we doubt you, but because unverifiable accusations make the community useless.
