what would you tell week-1 you about PDF metadata

PSA Slow Clap ×3 Well Actually ×2 Clean Column ×1

Right, the fake COA question again, but with numbers this time.

I have 2 data points over 40 weeks. The pattern is consistent enough that I do not think it is chance, and boring enough that nobody is going to screenshot it, which is usually a good sign.

The thing I would flag for anyone new: the effect I am describing showed up at week 18, not week 67. People give up long before the interesting part.

Interested in whether this matches other people's logs or whether I am an outlier.

Three years on this site and the questions have not changed at all. Which is depressing or reassuring depending on the day.

fake COAs always have the same tell: perfect results, zero variance

Did Homopeptide respond or ghost you?

Adding to this: exit scam is doing more work than the comment implies.

reseller scams versus fraud scams are different accusations

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

Yes, exactly this, and it is the bit that took me 62 weeks to accept.

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.
