Two different vendors share one common number

[mdec85]

So I'm very confused, I'm new to WhatsApp and I have no idea about anything to do with telegram, I was looking at ordering from someone here and when I googled their WhatsApp number it came up with somebody else on here's telegram number both of these people aren't supposed to be working for the same company so it's very confusing to me

Are you sure one isnt a scammer??

 

[mdec85]

Am I okay to post the names so you guys can look it up as well? I cross reference both of them and they have been on this site under supporting vendors for over a year

Essentially one vendor on here has a what's app number, that's exactly the same as another vendors on here's telegram. Both long term vendors, not the same company either

I don't want you to get banned as you're not allowed to discuss sources yet, but it is a well-known fact that some vendors are essentially the same company, or as they describe it, "run by the same boss." You might figure out which ones by using the search function as it has been discussed many times.

It is not Ok and posting their names is also not Ok for you yet. It will directly be blocked. Contact first Zippity and ask what to do in place of asking it to us.

Sometimes these places have multiply sites. Here, TG and Discord.

There is your problem. Don't Google anything, that's how you get in trouble. Google likely pointed you to a scammer. Use the contact information provided by the vendor, in their thread, here and only here. Let me say that again slowly, use the contact information provided by the vendor, in their thread, here and only here. Anything else yields a high risk of getting scammed.

Even if I don't Google it I can see both numbers on here are the same I think they are the same people, I just thought it was weird They have different names and different companies

I understood what you meant from the first post. You are doing very good research into vendors. Good for you. Keep it up. When you have a bit more experience here you will be able to share this in the vendor section. Someone appears to be doing business under two vendor names. It doesn't necessarily mean they are scamming anyone but it does seem less than transparent.
I'd keep looking.

I really appreciate it I'm just trying to learn myself and help along the way oddly enough both offenders have very good reviews other than one of them has some less than savory recent reviews but they've been long-term vendors here. I'll definitely keep a lookout I appreciate everybody's input and responses You guys have all been very helpful

They do the same thing as L'Oréal, which sells the same product in supermarkets and pharmacies under two different brands.

See if they offer two different prices. It's a marketing tactic to prevent buyers from having an anchor price that's too low. There are always customers who will buy the more expensive of the two.

You never get it, do you? If you don't stop with that and contact Zippity or a moderator, you will be banned.

Proof:

Can't post thread in the scamwatch - how do I warn people?

It won't let me post in the scamwatch when I have screenshots of the biggest vendor here scamming. Why can't I post? How are these vendors held up to accountabilty? I've been on the forum nearly 6 months yet am still restricted and can't report scams, that's wild.

You don't have to warn us. It is sufficient enough if you can make right choices without being scammed.
