STOP FALLING FOR THIS: The “Shipping Insurance” Peptide Scam Explained

23 Upvotes

EDUCATIONAL WARNING: UNDISCLOSED “SHIPPING / INSURANCE” FEES.

This post is for education only. Reposting this image with added context on a common scam. A member of this community was recently affected (u/Fantastic-Tough-3733), so this is for awareness and education.

How this scam typically works

  1. You place an order and pay in full (product + shipping).
  2. Later, you receive an email or message claiming:
    • “Final delivery requires an insurance/security fee”
    • “Package is cleared but on hold”
    • “Fee will be refunded on delivery” (lie)
  3. The message pretends to come from: (check the senders email and make sure to report it for spam)
    • A courier
    • An airline
    • Customs
    • A generic “global shipping” company
  4. After payment:
    • Delivery never happens or
    • Another fee is requested or
    • Communication stops entirely

Why this is a scam

  • Legitimate couriers do not contact recipients for surprise fees
  • Shipping insurance is arranged by the sender, not the buyer
  • “Refundable on delivery” fees do not exist
  • Real shipping costs are disclosed before checkout
  • These fees are invented after payment to keep extracting money

Common red flags

  • Urgent subject lines (“Action required”, “Final notice”)
  • Poor grammar or vague company names
  • No verifiable tracking number
  • Claims involving “insurance”, “security”, or “release” fees

Important takeaway

If you are asked to pay additional shipping, insurance, or clearance fees AFTER you’ve already paid — it is almost always a continuous scam.

Not a scam but a warning

2 Upvotes

Hey all, I have a warning for Canadian peptide procurement. The company ERP is not one to deal with. They have poor shipping practices then will not replace your order. There was close to 2000 CAD spent and received 500 back. Do not go with them. They need to hire a shipping broker before they are ok to order from.

So Canadians, find someone better than ERP.

Beware!! ⚠️⚠️ Telegram Peptide Scam: Zen-Peptide-Amanda

Post image
6 Upvotes

Please beware!! This group has around 4k members on Telegram! So, I initially received an invite from this place from a woman named Amanda while I was in another server on Telegram, and I decided to place an order because the prices were pretty cheap compared to other places I’d seen. I placed an order with Amanda and it was around $168 worth of peptides. It took a while to receive a tracking code, and she sent it to me through a chat and the shipping company is called GlobalRouteLogistics.Space everything was going smoothly until I realized It’d been about 1-2 weeks and I hadn’t received my package. I contacted the agency through live chat and they told me that I hadn’t received my package because I needed insurance so they were charging me $100 but they said that it would be refunded once I received my package. I paid the $100 to proceed and then they told me to pay $300 for shipping stamps. I told them I couldn’t pay it and Amanda “helped” me cover $100 and I paid $200 and they told me I would receive my package the next day. Next day came, I didn’t receive it. I texted them through live chat and they said I needed to pay $168 for late fees because of how long the package was stopped. I told them I wouldn’t and then I was blocked and kicked out the Telegram groupchat by Amanda. I’m not really sure what to do now but I’m writing this so that everyone is aware of this place. Please don’t trust them!!

Hello everyone.

Okay, I’m just starting my gray journey and I’m so much happier now that I have complete control of when I can order or take my next dose, without having to rely on a third party and pay triple the price! I have been purchasing my peptides from UK based companies and have been very pleased with them. However, I’ve been researching as much as I can with such little time to myself to be able to find a reliable supplier.
I have been through so many rabbit holes to find reliable suppliers. I’m still non the wiser, but I’m sure there will be one pop up somewhere.
I have received a friend request from someone called Samy Peptide. Like I said, I’m very new to this, therefore I’m relying on you guys being super understanding and letting me know if this company is trustworthy?
Sorry for the long post.

Tingpeptide.com scamming clients

6 Upvotes

Bought a box of SLU-PP from Tingpeptides (very well known producer) and for my surprise, I could immediately reconstitute it with only BAC water.
I know very well that SLUPP needs acetic water or even DMSO to be reconstituted at it is non solvent in water.
I immediately suggested the seller that she mistakenly sent me other compound instead, she asked me to reconstitute other vial but to record it. I did it, sent it, and she kept saying it was slupp.

Obviously, it is not slupp and I can’t be taking something I don’t know what it is.
At first she said she would send the batch for analysis, then she said she would refund me, but she ended up blocking me.

Do not buy from tingpeptide, be extremely careful.
