URGENT WARNING. There is a Telegram account impersonating a well-known vendor (WWB) and actively scamming people. The fake account handle is (with a zero instead of the letter O). They are DMing people from peptide groups offering "20% off first orders" and collecting payment via crypto or Zelle. At least 3 members here have been hit. If you received a message from this account DO NOT SEND MONEY. The real WWB does not solicit via Telegram DMs. Screenshots attached.

I got that exact DM two days ago. Almost fell for it too because the profile pic looked identical. The giveaway was they asked for Zelle — real WWB only accepts specific payment methods through their actual website. Thanks for posting this.

This is the third impersonation scam this month on Telegram. Everyone needs to understand: NO legitimate vendor will cold-DM you offering discounts. That is scam behavior 101. Always verify by going to the vendor's actual website and using whatever contact method is listed there.

I reported the account to Telegram but good luck getting them to actually do anything. I also posted a warning in the three biggest peptide Telegram groups. Can the mods here pin this thread?

Pinned. We have verified this is a scam account. The real WWB has confirmed on their official site that they do NOT operate a Telegram account at all. Any Telegram account claiming to be WWB is fraudulent. If you sent money, file a report with the FTC at reportfraud.ftc.gov and your local police. If you paid via Zelle, contact your bank immediately.
