Happened to me last month with a different vendor impersonation. Lost $280. Bank couldn't help because Zelle is considered an "authorized" payment. Hardest lesson I've learned — never pay via friend-to-friend payment apps for peptides. Always use a method with buyer protection.

For everyone's reference, here's how to verify any vendor account:
1. Go to the vendor's ACTUAL website (type it in, don't click links)
2. Check their official contact/social media page
3. Compare account handles character by character
4. Ask in trusted community spaces before sending money
5. Never pay via crypto, Zelle, Venmo, or CashApp for first orders

Update: four more people in the Telegram peptide chat confirmed they were contacted by this same scammer. One person sent $450 in Bitcoin. This is escalating. Everyone please share this warning in any peptide groups you're in.

Also worth noting — the scammer is using AI-generated "test results" that look convincing at first glance. They sent me a fake Janoshik report. When I checked the report number on Janoshik's actual verification page, it came back as nonexistent. Always verify third-party test results directly with the testing lab.
