[Discussion] can we stop arguing about fraud until somebody posts a number
Genuine question, and the title is the question: can we stop arguing about fraud until somebody posts a number. Group buys concentrate custody, payment and communication in one person with no structure behind it. That is not an accusation about anyone — it is a description of the risk shape. Cloned storefronts copy…
Careful. What you are describing is a delayed shipment, and this board should not turn that into an accusation without more.
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.
Correction: that domain is one character different from the one you posted, which is rather the point of this thread.
pressure to decide today is the oldest signal there is
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.
Small fix — the name you are describing is in the wider-market table with almost nothing on file, not in the documented twenty.
