"Mia Peptide" (TikTok @miapeptide1)
This is one entry from the TitrateLab Vendor Graveyard, a dated, primary-source archive of peptide-market shutdowns, exit scams, and enforcement actions. Documented as active, 2025–2026. Sources for this entry are named inline below and numbered in full on the parent archive page.
The canonical fee-ladder. TikTok funnel into a Telegram group populated with shill usernames repeating endorsements. Order workflow:
- Initial payment via Zelle, Cash App, Apple Pay, or crypto ($305–$740 typical)
- “Refundable insurance fee” demanded before shipment (~$305)
- Fee negotiated downward when resistance appears ($205, $150); “refundable” is the critical word
- Additional “Consumer Use Tax” added (~$405)
- Refund conditional on yet another payment
Victim reports describe Zelle payments routed to a recipient name that recurs across at least two separate incidents, suggesting a single operator or coordinated cluster behind the “Mia” persona. The fake courier ExpressRouteHub is fabricated, no such logistics provider exists.
