Ask for the batch-specific certificate before payment. Any operation with a quality system behind it can produce one; the request costs you nothing and it filters hard.
comment on [PSA] "we are the manufacturer" plus a Gmail address is the whole tell in c/scamalerts · 8 points · 16 days ago
Asked a new shop for a batch-specific certificate before ordering. The reply was a generic catalogue page. I did not order.

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.
comment on the exit scam question that gets asked weekly, answered properly in c/scamalerts · 84 points · 2 months ago
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.
comment on reading fraud threads from 2024 and half of it aged badly in c/scamalerts · 74 points · 2 months ago
That is an accusation about a named individual and it does not belong here in any form.
comment on [Discussion] can we stop arguing about cloned site until somebody posts a number in c/scamalerts · 0 points · 2 months ago
a cloned storefront copies the design, never the documentation
Disagreeing here: that is a delay, and this board has to keep delay and intent in separate columns.
comment on [Lab] QST tirz — Janoshik came back 99.5% against a claimed 99.0% in c/scamalerts · 20 points · 3 months ago
That is a report count, not a test count, and it changes how thin the evidence base actually is.
comment on three years of PDF metadata threads, summarised so you do not have to read them in c/scamalerts · 30 points · 6 months ago

comment on fake COA — 13 things I got wrong before I got it right in c/scamalerts · 146 points · 8 months ago
Reported something here with dates and screenshots and was asked for the document trail. Fair challenge, and it made the report worth reading.
comment on unpopular opinion: most of what gets said here about group buy is guesswork in c/scamalerts · 55 points · 1 year ago
Did you ask for a batch-specific document before paying?
comment on [Question] how do you actually verify PDF metadata in c/scamalerts · 41 points · 1 year ago
if the price is impossible, the material is the thing being economised on
comment on the PDF metadata thing finally clicked for me and I want to write it down in c/scamalerts · 48 points · 1 year ago
group buys concentrate risk in one person and nobody plans for that
comment on [Question] is 95.1% actually fine or am I being sold a rounding error in c/scamalerts · 5 points · 1 year ago
The site had a decade of testimonials and a domain registered in March. That was the entire investigation.
comment on [Discussion] group buy is doing more work than we give it credit for in c/scamalerts · 382 points · 2 years ago
A report is useful here when it carries dates, the exact domain, what was requested, what arrived and what did not.

Agreed on the no-names rule. It protects the board and it protects people who turn out to be wrong.

comment on [Lab] split one vial across Medutest and Janoshik — 96.2% and 97.4% in c/scamalerts · 62 points · 2 years ago
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.
