WHile i'm pretty well aware of the prevelance of scammers that take the money and run...leaving you empty handed, how rare or common is it for fakes to be passed off? I'm assuming, based on principles of economics, that it's far more profitable to simply take the cash and run, since fake gear has to be slightly time and resource consuming to produce, and the turnaround time for people to cry scammer can not be sufficiently greater than the take-and-run turnaround to justify the extra cost...i would assume.
That being said, i know it does happen, but I'm wondering how many people have actually dealt with it, if it was obvious from the start, or they plowed through a whole cycle of no results before realizing it. My biggest fear, as my anticipated cycle will be my first, is that one component (say, the test) will be fake and the rest may be real...thus absolutely screwing my chance to take advantage of that coveted first cycle window. Thanks for putting up with my rambling.
