This time, I made the first move.
And once again, GK was used as the introducer.
Within four minutes, I got a reply:
“Howdy. Yes, I still have stock to sell off.”
Efficient. Friendly. Available.
So we began.
The New Price List (Now With Bonus Peptides)
I was sent a familiar looking price list.
Only this time:
The spelling was worse.
It appeared to contain novel compounds
Some of them appeared to have been invented on the spot.
Sagrilintide
Jirzarentide
Titzerentide.
A typo was one thing.
Three imaginary GLP-1 cousins was… ambitious.
The quantities were smaller now. The pricing was closer to market.
Close enough that I’ll admit, briefly, I was tempted.
But temptation is not a due diligence strategy.
So I asked the boring questions:
What is a box?
How many per box?
Do you have testing reports
Answer: 10 per box.
Then I was shown COAs.
The COA Upgrade
This time I received;
Vitacode Peptide Certificates of Analysis
Janoshik reports
Batch numbers
99%+ purity claims
They looked legitimate.
Which raised a new question.
What happened to:
ZLZ?
Look Pharmacy?
The previous supplier narrative?
So I asked directly:
“Is Vitacode the name of your company? GK said you are Look Pharmacy in USA.”
Response:
“I am a reseller. This is what I got. They are finished vials.”
“Yes I am Look Pharmacy. Vita my supplier. I am a reseller.”
So now we had;
ZLZ (disappeared)
Look Pharmacy (still referenced)
Vitacode (new supplier)
Reseller (current position)
The identities shifted. Casually. As if that was normal.
Payment Structure (Always Telling)
Preferred payment?
Bank transfer
Crypto accepted
PayPal, but Friends & Family only
Personal account
Which protects the seller and absolutely no one else.
There was;
No website
No public footprint
No verified reviews
No formal company structure
Orders were placed “directly with supplier through email.”
At this point, nothing individually proved fraud.
But patterns mattered more than single data points.
Midnight Curiosity
It was past midnight.
Instead of sleeping like a responsible adult, I asked:
“What is jirzarentide?”
For a brief moment, I allowed myself to imagine I’d discovered a new peptide ahead of the market.
The reply:
“That was a typo. It’s 5mg Tirzepatide.”
Of course it was;
Apparently Jirzarentide was just Tirzepatide in disguise.
The Order (Almost)
I moved forward:
Tirz 30mg
MOTS-C 10m
Shipping to UK: $45
Total: $245
Then:
“Friend & family only payments.”
I was seconds away from paying.
Then I remembered what I was actually doing.
So instead of sending money, I sent delivery details.
Not mine.
And I asked to see the actual kits.
“Coolies?”
I requested product photos before paying.
The response:
“Here you go, coolies.”
Two photos.
Plastic trays
White boxes
Bronze caps.
Very familiar trays.
Very familiar layout.
Déjà vu from the TheBionaut warehouse vs factory showdown.
This time, I wasn't interested in floor tiles.
I was interested in what my kits would look like.
So I pushed further:
“Nice, but can you show me the kits I’ve ordered and will send?”
She reassured me. Politely.
But I could feel the edge creeping in.
“I manage multiple businesses…”
Which was usually the sentence that appeared right before patience expired.
The Cap Colour Problem
When she sent pictures of Tirz and MOTS-C kits, I noticed two things:
1.All caps were the same bronze colour.
2.The handwriting on the paper underneath was extremely spidery, not typical of what I was used to seeing.
So I asked;
“They are all the same. I’ve never had a shipment with all the same colour caps. How do I know they are different?”
Reply:
“The cap color doesn’t affect the product quality.”
Which was true.
But it avoided the question.
My concern was not the cap.
It was what’s inside.
So I asked if they were sourced from China.
Reassurance increased:
“Trusted supplier.”
“Quality assured.”
“Proof provided.”
But reassurance was not verification.
Customs Line & “Sagriintide”
I asked:
“What about customs? Do you use a special line?”
Answer: Yes.
So I casually expanded the order.
“Can I add Cagrilintide 10mg?”
She replied:
“10mg?”
Which read less like confidence and more like someone checking a spreadsheet they didn’t write.
I said:
“Yes pls and a picture of it too pls.”
She asked:
“Can you see the product on the stock list?”
I replied:
Yes you spelt it wrong. You spelt it sagriintide.”
She quickly corrected:
“Apologies for the typo! It’s actually ‘cagrilintide’, not ‘Sagriintide.’ Thanks for pointing that out!”
Polite. Grateful.
But I didn't stop there.
“You have other spelling mistakes too.”
She sent more pictures.
Now there were three kits.
Same bronze caps for all three
Which told me:
1.There was inventory somewhere.
2.The sourcing story remained flexible.
The Patience Shift
Eventually she said:
“For an order of this size, this level of inquiry is beyond what I typically handle.”
Now my questions were the problem.
Not:
The shifting suppliers
The typo peptides
The Friends & Family payment
The inconsistent caps
My questions.
So I summarised everything for her;
You contacted GK
Your product list shows spelling mistakes
You show COAs from a company I’ve never heard of
You require non refundable payment
You have no website
No reviews
You want to send me kits that all look the same.
How does that sound?
She replied:
“It seems like this isn’t working out as your demands are a bit unreasonable for an order of this size. Thankyou for your time.
Then:
“Must you know of million companies in China?”
A sentence I would treasure forever.
The Trump Card
New Year’s Day.
I escalated.
I sent the TinkyWinky Discord profile.
“Is this you?”
She pivoted instantly:
Privacy
Discretion
Buyer seller relationship only
Reminder that peptide sales are not legal for human use in the US.
Which was interesting messaging for someone who was previously Look Pharmacy USA.
So I probed identity further:
“Are you a lady or a man?”
Next morning:
“I’m a man. I think the picture clears that up, right?”
So now we had:
Wellnessnerd
TinkyWinky
Stelios
Look Pharmacy
Vitacode supplier
Formerly ZLZ
Now just “a man.”
Identity remained fluid.
Different Caps. Suddenly.
After we negotiated a larger order ($725 total), she offered a $25 discount.
I confirmed.
But I asked for pictures again.
This time:
Blue caps.
Purple caps.
Yellow caps.
Previously everything was bronze.
Evolution.
But one vial looked slightly underfilled.
I asked.
“Is there enough in this one?”
He said yes.
I showed a random internet photo of properly filled vials
Then:
Four days of silence.
Zero Peptides & The Knowledge Gap
I returned with a new angle:
“I’ve been hearing about zero peptides…”
Factories filling vials with filler so they look normal.
His response:
“How is it possible they spend shipping cost send nothing?”
Which revealed something important.
He misunderstood the concept.
Zero peptides does not mean empty vials.
It meant filler.
That told me he was not deeply embedded in peptide discussions.
He then asked:
“What is the name of the company so I can be careful next time?”
He wanted information.
Interesting reversal.
But ended with more reassurance
“Yea, I totally get your concerns, and it’s important to be careful with where you source from. But I’ve established reliable relationships with trusted manufacturers who meet stringent quality standards”
The Final Tone Shift
Suddenly, he asked:
Where are you from? Is that you in the picture?”
Now I was being investigated.
I replied:
UK
Not me
Just a picture from IG.
He responded:
“So you’re out here borrowing looks from Instagram… well played!”
“Guess I’ll have to wait to see the real star of the show then! Lol
Was it flirtation
Mockery
Deflection?
Or a threat?
Hard to tell.
But I leant in:
“Yes it’s much more fun that way 😂 If you know what I mean?”
He replied several hours later
“Have fun.”
And for a moment, that was it.
The Crypto Pivot
But not one to give up, I tried to reopen the thread by claiming my PayPal payment was rejected
“Sorry, that’s the only PayPal account I have, and it works perfectly fine. Alternatively, you can use crypto like Bitcoin if that works for you. I can provide my wallet address, it’s widely used and convenient for many people now.”
Of course it was.
Crypto
No chargebacks
No reversals
No safety net.
I replied:
“Ok let me give crypt a go.”
He immediately sent a wallet address and asked for a screenshot of the payment confirmation once it was done.
Efficient
Prepared
Very comfortable with crypto.
One Last Shopping Attempt
Before I disappeared, I tried something else.
“Do you sell steroids or AAS?”
No.
So I sent a photo of B12 injections.
He replied:
“Sorry I don’t sell what I don’t have on the list.”
Interesting.
Because he definitely used to.
I sent the screenshot
December 24
B12 injection promo.
He went quiet on that point.
Apparently the vitamin department had closed.
Maybe they ran out of peony root extract.
The Teletubbies Moment
And because I couldn't resist a neat ending
I sent him this:
A Teletubbies image.
“They used to be my kids’ favourite. Do you like them?”
He replied with a large smiling emoji.
That was it.
No defensiveness
No denial
No anger.
Just 😁
Which was….almost more interesting than outrage.
The Real Ending (For Now)
What was clear from the final stretch:
When PayPal “fails,” crypto appeared instantly.
The wallet address was ready.
Urgency returned the moment payment was back on the table.
The tone reset, the second payment became possible again.
The English was flawless when talking about “privacy,” and fell apart when naming products
And then there was the bigger issue: the story kept changing.
ZLZ.
Look Pharmacy.
Vitacode.
Reseller.
Trusted supplier.
USA warehouse.
China source.
Each version appeared exactly when it was needed.
Which left me with the real question:
Did he know I’m onto him?
By the end it didn’t read like a vendor trying to close a deal. It read like someone trying not to get caught.
So no, the question wasn’t “will he ship?”
It was whether he’d realised I was never the customer.
In the next part I uncover a plot twist
