What to check
- Treat a forum mention as a lead to investigate, not a final verdict.
- Preserve the URL, date, username, screenshot, product, batch, payment method, delivery timeline, and any vendor reply.
- Separate first-hand order evidence from hearsay. A comment saying someone heard something is weaker than a dated order, label, COA, and support chain.
- Look for clusters: repeated complaints about batch mismatch, warm shipping, missing COAs, refund refusal, or support silence matter more than one angry comment.
- Do not publish a scam claim from anonymous forum content alone. Convert it into an evidence request: batch, COA, payment record, dispatch proof, support route, and right of reply.
- Telegram and Discord vendor claims should be treated as higher-risk until the operator, domain, product, batch, and payment path can be tied to public records.
The fastest safe path is still the same: batch, COA, label, payment, support, and dispatch proof before trust.
