four accounts, same typo, same hour, all recommending the same shop
Posting this as a discussion rather than a claim: four accounts, same typo, same hour, all recommending the same shop.
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.
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.
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.
Corrections welcome, especially the pedantic ones. Pedantry is how this board earns its reputation.
best — the order this archive was captured in
Removed — names an individual. That rule has no exceptions here, including when the account turns out to be accurate.
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.
Do you have anything in writing from before the payment?
no names without evidence, that is the sidebar rule and it is a good one
Yes — describe the sequence of events with dates. That is a report. Adjectives are not.
What dates are we talking about — order, payment, last contact?
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.
Did you ask for a batch-specific document before paying?
The site had a decade of testimonials and a domain registered in March. That was the entire investigation.
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.
Careful. What you are describing is a delayed shipment, and this board should not turn that into an accusation without more.

Correction: that domain is one character different from the one you posted, which is rather the point of this thread.
screenshots are not evidence, dates and documents are
Push back: "nobody has tested them" is a fact about this board, not a fact about the company. Say the first one.
the review page nobody can find on any other site is a warning
