Vendor Impersonation Scams?! Be careful!

Hey everyone,

I wanted to flag something I learned about - someone on Telegram and Discord using names like "UltimatePeptides" or "SourceDirect" is apparently ripping people off.

I got a weird vibe from them right away. When I questioned how to make sure they were legit, they got super rude and blocked me. Glad I screenshotted it!

Sadly, a friend got scammed out of $1500! I'm sharing our message history so you all can see how they operate.

Watch out and spread the word!
 
Update: Looks like they deleted their Discord and TG accounts really fast, or maybe changed their names.
 
Whoa, I just got my order from them yesterday! Took about 10 days to arrive. I think they ship from the US. It was my second time ordering. I'm not a shill, promise! I used a middleman, Alex, who used to be with a competitor.
 
I'm not sure what the OP's issue was or what they ordered. I only get a couple different products. I've been using Alex for about a year. Check my history, I mentioned them before when they were with that other company. Now they're with a different company. Maybe someone got scammed, I don't know, but who did they order from? Could be they got scammed on something other than a GLP-1.

Also, the OP thought they might be affiliated with another company. But that other company uses square clear containers. I always get long paper boxes, not the plastic things. Could be nothing, I don't know when they pack stuff up. Just saying the packaging is different.
 
UPDATE: Sadly, I've heard from more people getting scammed by someone claiming to be a certain company. At least six people have messaged me (elsewhere) saying they got scammed on Telegram. As soon as they paid, the scammer blocked them. That's it.

I have tons of photos of peptides being used by these scammers, but I don't know if I can post them here. It's hard to warn people about these fake accounts because we can't openly call them out. People who aren't fluent in English are especially vulnerable because they can't easily check if the product photos are stolen.

If I could make a suggestion to the mods of this forum, it would be to allow us to post these scammer photos to protect others. If we can vet vendors, we should be able to expose scam images too.
 
First off, this sounds like an Impersonation Scam. Needs to be clear when you make posts like this.

What are you talking about? You posted photos in your original post. What photos do you have or need me to "allow?"
 
Anyone claiming they were scammed needs to provide proof, not just say "me too" or complain about no tracking number.

Scam allegations MUST include screenshots (redacted properly!), showing the email, WhatsApp, Telegram, Discord, or other contact info and username (account name, not just display name). This helps confirm 1. You were scammed, and 2. WHO scammed you, with receipts to prove it.
 
Hey, I'm new to all this peptide stuff. Are all these websites basically the same? I saw one with really cheap prices, but it seems kinda sus. Should I just stick to getting it from a doctor?

Buying online is always a gamble, you don't know where they source their stuff. Seeing a doctor is the safest route, hands down. You'll pay more, but you know you're getting quality.
 
Anyone have good experiences with a specific site? I've been using one I like, but I'm always open to trying new ones.
