Today, we discovered the first scammers who pretend to be LSResearchChems and LongflourishRC: lsresearchchem.com & longflourishchems.com are scam websites!
LSresearchChems.com and LongflourishRC.com are gone for good.
RC SCENE displays a warning on the pages with the shop review and the list of Chinese vendors so not to fall for copycats/impersonators. Such register similar-sounding internet addresses and pretend to be the well-known vendor only to scam you.
Today, we discovered the first scammers who pretend to be LSResearchChems and LongflourishRC: lsresearchchem.com & longflourishchems.com are scam websites!
Please stick with the verified links and vendor information provided on RC SCENE. In theory, dozens of scammers could create scam sites that look like the original gone-for-good vendor’s websites.
Yes, those two new scam websites look very similar to the gone-for-good vendor webshops. They are nonetheless fake. Here is why:
- LS & LF used the Chinese UEESHOP Content Management System to build their webshops. The scam sites use WordPress. This means the scam sites are NOT A BACKUP that the original vendors restored but new websites trying to imitate the looks of the original gone-for-good webshops.
- The scammers used a cached version of the original webshops to create their scam websites. As of today, all files of the original webshops can still be accessed. This makes it easy for impersonators, unfortunately. The scammers created a copy that dates back to summer. In August 2021, LongflourishRC.com had two news pages online: “Test1” and “Test2”. These can be found on the scam websites as well. The original vendor seems to have had switched to a new server and then posted two test news. By September, the test news pages had been deleted again.
- The scammers cannot know that the original vendors had announced new products only a few days before discontinuing operations. Products like 2-NE1, 4CN-ADB, 4F-AKB48, 5-Chloro-AKB48, 5-Fluoro-MPhP-PICA, 5-C-ABP, 5F-AEB, 5F-EDMB-2201, 5F-MN-24, 5f-NPB-22, 5F-PB-22, BB-22, EG018, CB13, LY2183240, MMB-022, MN-24, Nitromethaqualone, PX-1, PX-2, RCS-4, Rilmazafone (リスミー,, previously known as 450191-S), and, of course!, the legendary Fluorexetamine Crystal Dissociative added 8% of an undisclosed Stimulant are missing.
Why would I happen to know? Because Rechemco was about to source these products from LSresearchChems/LongflourishRC and now has no supplier. 😉
Why those scammers will still succeed
LSResearchChems / LongFlourishRC seem to have been the only significant lab still manufacturing NPS Opiates.
It will take a while before such substances become available again.
The folks populating the Reddit Opiate Addiction Appreciation Sub might become desperate and will try to order although knowing that LSresearchChems.com and LongflouriRCshRC.com are scam websites. Junkies are stupid.
LS / LF – Who are they? What happened?
According to zoominfo.com had LSResearchchems.com and LongflourishRC.com have been active since 2011. The company was registered in Jiangsu, China. Some databases provide different information and clain the vendor would have been a company registered in Hong Kong. Maybe, production and sales had been separated.
The webshops as we knew them were created in 2017. LongFlourishRC and LSresearchchems were hosted on Amazon AWS. The names Li Jun (Xiamen, CN) and Li Juan (Zhejiang, CN) were provided as owners.
Since The Real RC does not talk to me anymore I would not know who could have details about the vendors in China forced to stop operations recently. Just like with XiangChong, authorities seem to have taken down the webshops. I doubt that anyone would have been arrested. In China, it is perfectly legal to kill foreigners. If they had sold drugs within China, then they would end in a Chinese prison. Since they didn’t, they have nothing to fear.
China has banned Cannabinoids and Cryptocurrencies like BitCoin recently. Drug dealers do not care about such details, all they see is money. Managers of the Chinese National Bank would often help with or operate drug trafficking organizations. For them, it is easy to bypass strict laws in China.
A thing that seems somewhat obvious, though, is that Chinese vendors trying to make a fortune with Americans (e.g. http://rcstronger.com/products.html | Beware, an unknown vendor, could be a scammer) seem to trying to host their websites under the radar: Their SSL certificates have either been fake or were revoked, so you can only visit them via http:// and not via a secured connection and https://. Could be a coincidence. I had noticed three such Chinese sites today. RCBestSell are still in the business and their webshop works fine.
AGAIN
These were the original vendor websites. They are gone for good.
