Reporting scam vendors — what worked for you?

The pattern that distinguishes a bad batch from an exit is behaviour rather than product.

Thank you for spelling out the reasoning rather than just the conclusion. Adding it to my notes with a link back to this thread.

Adding the clinical framing, because it changes how the question reads. Worth answering the question that was asked rather than the one behind it. The narrow version usually has an answer; the broad version usually does not, and answering the broad one is how a thread stops being useful.

I do not accept the framing. The question has been narrowed to the version that has a tidy answer, and the part that was dropped is the part the OP actually asked about.

One concrete data point for the thread. Worth stating the units and the reference range whenever you post a number here. A large fraction of the apparent disagreement in these threads is two people using different units and both being right.

Correct me if the detail matters more than I have assumed.
