How equipment scams are usually run
Reports that do not fit the categories above still follow the same mechanics: a recently registered domain, inventory priced below any honest market, copied photographs, a refusal to allow independent inspection, and a payment instruction that moves money somewhere it cannot be recalled. The equipment type changes; the sequence does not.
Category-specific checks before you pay
- Check the domain's registration date before you evaluate anything else on the site.
- Verify the legal entity on the invoice in the business registry of the state or country it claims.
- Refuse any payment method without a reversal or dispute mechanism.
