@Propofali has forwarded me the email chain and I have checked the email address, and it is a scammer.

RHODlUMRC2@protonmail.com

There is a reason the scammer used ALL CAPS, and this is because in RHODlUMRC2@ the capital i is actually a small L.

Copy/paste this email chain in a Word/Document/notepad text file.
Then search for the correct email address:

rhodiumrc2@protonmail.com

Nothing comes up, the scammer is using RHODlUMRC2@ correct is RHODIUMRC2@

He is using L but with a small L ---> this is small l and looks like a capital I (i)

You have to be very careful as you can not detect this with the human eye.
If you copy/paste the email address and then search (can even test in your browser ctrl f) they are not the same.

No sir, I informed you of the 25 count ahead of time and you told me to proceed.

Send me my money back then. There is no mention of a 100 count minimum on your menu.

Send to:

bc1qlpXXXXxxxxxxymslt8j5npy4fhXXXxxxxnkau

I expect it returned ASAP.

Payment received, 25 count isn't available but 100 count .. if you will take the 100 count 320$ instead of 350$ for the inconvenience this might have caused you ..you have already send 160$ remaining 160$ to complete payment for the 100 count. Thanks.

The all capital letters should already been a red flag, you have been scammed by an imposter.
This is of course very alarming and recently happened to another vendor in the US section as well.

The scammers are becoming more clever and find ways, better not to reply to a new email coming from a vendor but reply to an old email that you know is real from the past.

As another member stated in another thread:
1. Copy the vendor’s contact info directly from their forum thread. Save that email to your “contacts” under a name that makes it unmistakable (“VendorName_DBG_verified”). Do not reply to incoming messages without confirming the sender address. If you need to reply to a vendor email that has asked for any personal info from you then just include a reference to their message in a fresh email and use the saved contact.

We all need to protect ourselves, as this is becoming more rampant. Double check and check again if it is indeed the correct email address.

@rhodium my apologies for causing any drama on your thread. These people scamming for mags are highly sophisticated and I should've trusted my gut with them. I hope we can proceed with a sub in the near future.

That was a tricky way to get someone. Let's face it a lot of us have made dumb impulsive decisions. But typically I never really trust vendors that email me out of nowhere and I'm triple checking everything. Someone that really has stuff, you gotta find them and not waste their time. They would rarely reach out. If someone seems too buddy buddy and trying to hard are pretty much red flags as well.

With the nature of this vendors and readers should be cautious.

I appreciate your perspective and the intention to promote caution. That said, I’d ask you to be mindful of how your words land. Phrases like 'dumb impulsive decisions' aren't constructive and don't reflect the kind of self-talk I engage in—or encourage. If you’ve had experiences where you felt misled, sharing those is valuable. But please avoid projecting assumptions onto others.


Everything you mentioned—skepticism about unsolicited contact, red flags in behavior, verifying legitimacy—are things I actively considered. I had multiple stressors at the time and, like many, did my best with the information I had. I shared my experience not for pity or judgment but to help others avoid a similar situation. That takes humility, not carelessness.

May I ask why you decide to freeze SR-17018?

it's kind of a joke, since last year there was energized debate over whether the compound was a peptide or not.

It IS hygroscopic, so it will absorb ambient water from the air; that part ended up being too. Rip to anyone who fridged their SR with the bag open

No judgement here I've been taken for some stuff here and there. I stand by what I said about the impulsive thing lots of people here has some type of habit. Or use in problematic ways. apologize for saying anyone getting scammed it's stupid. But this goes for vendors and readers. The world economy is fucked up and we will see more scams, some elaborate too

I appreciate you'r response and maybe I misunderstood so thanks for clarifying. I agree with you on the economy and more elaborate scams arising, especially in our community. Hope you have a great weekend.
