Well, fuck peptide test

This is about as pretentious a post as I've seen around here honestly. several of the people in here are some of the first to have even interacted with him. There's been plenty of stuff happen in this community that warranted an uproar, but you all are trying to manufacture this one.

I've slowly come to realize that a lot of you are as invested in the drama as you are the peptides.
This peptide space is self-policed because - shocker - you can't actually call authorities to complain about your peptides.

Go ahead and name call, act aloof like you are better than other people. But don't post here when you get burned, then. Because I'll be too busy laughing to reply.
 
You must be AT&T customer
I plead the fifth

No, it was actually some cyber security company another company I used contracted with or something. Lmfao. They wouldn't tell me who gave them my info to begin with because I 'wasn't their customer'
 
You can literally find my SSN with the right Google search now.

Somehow my phone number and address are still safe from Google. Not from scammers or people smart enough to use something other than google, but somehow safe from Google.
that National Public Data breach put all of everyone’s everything out there. Have you checked? Cause after that, I kinda dgaf anymore. I take precautions, but gd.

Not really, I'm kind of at the idgaf place too financially.

I wouldn't want people I KNOW knowing this account is me, and I probably wouldn't want any of my online friends doxxing me, but I just assume all of my info is floating out there somewhere for scammers to use. What are they going to do, increase my debt? I have credit monitoring and call it a day.

I like how you followed it up with the most self-unaware post I've read on here lol.

There's a difference between being a skeptic, and claiming everything is a bad-faith conspiracy.

Tell me more, oh knowledgeable one! I'm hanging on your every ignorant word. Please tell me about who I am and what I have claimed.

Why would I need to venture outside of this conversation? This is all pretty straightforward.

I can understand that, it’s personal health info. I’ve told all the peoples about this bc I can’t keep my mouth shut, lol.

I registered for a couple of the credit monitoring svcs, but after the 5th one or so showed up, I said f it. Then the NPD breach happened and instead of waiting for the ransom, they dumped it for free. I looked up my fam’s info…yikes.
 
There have been enough sterility tests within the community to prove that many of the vials we receive are likely to be contaminated with live bacteria, yeasts, and molds. The big question is whether or not there are enough of those organisms present in a single shot to make us sick. That's not really a question we can answer without testing, and there's nothing to do about a poor result other than toss the vial or filter it. I skip the testing and just filter.
Should be fine as long as you don't lick the needle before pinning yourself

I talk pretty openly on qa about my reasons for being on sema (I like my booze a lil too much) and that's not something I particularly want the people in my life knowing about.

I paid a service to do my taxes last year and got a huge return because I adhd'd my returns for a few years, so I used part of the return for their monitoring service for the hell of it. Everything they alerted me to also popped up on credit karma so I'm saving the cash this year, not worth it. Again, what are they gonna do, give me more debt? I'm a millennial, it's not like I'm ever going to own property or retire. My plan is to work until I die, which is probably part of why idgaf about filtering.

Says the guy who won’t actually read and engage in the conversation. All you’re doing is popping off with various dickish permutations of “i disagree” and then acting like you’ve schooled the forum with your deep wisdom.

What else should I be doing? The facts aren't really in question, it's your overboard interpretation of them that I'm poking fun of.

and then acting like you’ve schooled the forum with your deep wisdom.
"deep wisdom". rich coming from people who seem to think that basic business operation, or markets with bad actors are something super obscure that only someone who had been shooting themselves up with peptides for an extended period would have any insight into. I think some of you are getting a little too high on your own supply.

Your ability to say “I disagree” while contributing nothing substantive, using so many words in so many versions, is impressive.

You say that as if I'm responding to anything other than your own poor interpretation of events. What is there to add? You overreact to a relatively benign business move as if the very first thing you learned about making money was people selling peptides. That's all there is to this.

Responding to the facts as they’ve been presented would be the appropriate way to engage, rather than hollow, snotty indignation. As I’ve said several times already. Obv you don’t have it in you or you’d have done so by now; I’m done here, Merry Christmas.

The facts aren't the issue. Your inability to discern their meaning is the issue. You assign malice to things you don't understand, like exclusivity contracts. As if some little one man show is strong-arming labs and vendors into only allowing customers through his brand-new barely established business. I mean, what? Do you hear yourself?

So this is the real reason having your email exposed is a potential issue. It's always about the platforms, goods, and services your personal information is connected to when these leaks happen.

If you're not using a burner account then everyone on that list as your email address, your first name, your last name, and knows you're a customer of a Peptide testing company that only tests about 7 products. That gives them enough information to extrapolate something about your purchase history.

The risk of negative repercussions may be low, but it is a significant breach. That said I absolutely understand why some people will continue to work with them.

As some one with a career in infosec, I fully understand the theoretical issues with the breach but they are so far removed from any real risk that this is being blown out proportion. The bigger issue to me would be if he didn't acknowledge it and make take steps to prevent repeats.

I agree with you 100%. It is very unlikely that any of this information will actually be misused, but people aren't wrong for being spooked by it.

I have never gotten an email with my ssn, closest has been an old password that had been exposed in a hack. even that was unsettling even though i understood what they were doing. The full complement of credit card application details in an out-of-nowhere email must be a big ol shock to receive.

Did I miss something? The only thing that was in the email was a list of email addresses. Nothing else.

No no, the convo was off on a tangent and I was following it, responding to @normal's remarks about getting spam with a bunch of personal info in it (https://glp1forum.com/threads/well-fuck-peptide-test.2132/post-33866). This is not in relation to the peptest email blast, which youre right, only had email addresses.

Sorry didn't mean to imply it was worse than it was. I got off course in failing to track who was off on which tangents.
 
Pretty sure peptide test is just one guy who signed a marketing agreement with Trustpointe Analytics who was looking for a way to reach customers.

Then you have trustpointe analytics who truly is a husband and wife get up who worked in lab quality control in the pharmaceutical industry.

This used to all get talked about out in the open in a certain testing server.

Two distinct businesses. One lab and one marketing/supplies business that has an agreement. Different people. One registered in MI, one registered in TN
I had a few concerns with it being just a three person show at first, but I think people are just happy that they can test domestically now.
 
Shhhh we're in the drama stage now, logic doesn't matter anymore.

I'm kidding I know you're a mod plz don't ban me

Some people light skin tight jeans, some like it a bit baggy

I'll see myself right out

How many people do you think are on the Jano team? It's only a handful of people and he does an order of magnitude more tests.

None jano’s team are salespeople, which id argue shouldn’t be considered. If you subtract the “marketing department” which is basically an affiliate, you’re left with a husband and wife that handle the business operations and all the lab work at trustpointe.

Jano runs a real company with a variety of employees working in various capacities in the business and lab. It is silly to try to equate a mom and pop that have an affiliate marketer with what is happening at Jano’s shop, which looks and operates like what we’d recognize as a “company.”

I’m not saying this means much in terms of the quality of the work product, just that pep test/trustpointe’s quantity of “employees” is basically meaningless. For all intents and purposes it’s a solo shop.

I think you might have mis-parsed my statement and assumed I meant Josh instead of Jano? I was only saying that Jano's lab only has a handful employees (I believe I've seen him talk about a couple people running tests)

I know that trustpointe (Josh) is only a husband/wife team. (although I believe they also have at least one other technician)

Nah, I read them correctly, I just may have over interpreted what you were getting at. Just trying to say that a business with let’s say 5 employees has more in commmon with a business that has 100 employees than it does with a husband and wife shop. The chasm between the two is dramatic and can’t be written off as “just a few more employees” — they’re totally different animals
 
Not enough people involved. It's distressing that people still read Shakespeare. Think of the poetry that a committee could have come up with.
There are theories that work attributed to Shakespeare wasn't from a single person...
 
My gripe is that they use this “we are here because we want to help the community” marketing bullshit and then make moves like that that actually limit access to filters by setting up a de facto monopoly. If they want to be dickish business guys then they shouldn’t masquerade as community servants.
Totally agree with that take. There are too many people spewing “here for you” stuff where it’s all about making a few extra dollars. This is why I am mean to everyone.

Serious question though. Peptide Test as a testing option, yes or no? I would love to have more than one place to go for crowd testing.

I like them and they do ok in the couple of head-to-head lab tests that I have seen. It's also nice not to have send your vials across the pond. Turn around time is normally just a few days. I used them a couple of months ago and the process went smooth. There are others in the US that don't have as good of a track record.

I’d send TrustPointe something i don’t expect to be weird, like qsc tirz or similar. I wouldn’t send them something that could be a curveball, like a new or unsteady vendor, because I don’t think they have a track record that gives confidence in weird results. If they come back with something unexpected you’re going to have to wonder if it was the vendor or the lab, where with Jano you can assume the lab result was solid based on a long track record.

For how new they are and the fact that they messed up the only head to head I am aware of, TP really should be charging much less, they’re simply not equivalent to the competition no matter how hard they market themselves as such. Being domestic (so faster ship time and lower ship cost) is their only competitive advantage and that isn’t enough to offset the lack of record. If they also competed on price then maybe we are getting somewhere.
