Vendor Graveyard · Reported fee-ladder schemes

"Mia Peptide" (TikTok @miapeptide1)

This is one entry from the TitrateLab Vendor Graveyard, a dated archive of peptide-market shutdowns, buyer-loss reports and enforcement actions. Documented as reported February 2026, single-source. Evidence tier: Single published account. Sources for this entry are linked inline below and annotated in the full Vendor Graveyard entry.

A February 14, 2026 long-form describes a TikTok account, @miapeptide1, steering buyers into a Telegram group whose regular members vouched for the seller, and then demanding a series of extra fees before shipment.

The sequence the author reports for one buyer:

  1. A $740 order, paid by Zelle (the seller offered Cash App, Bitcoin, Chime, Zelle or Apple Pay)
  2. A tracking link to a private site, ExpressRouteHub, then an “unpaid refundable insurance fee” of $305, which the buyer paid
  3. A “Refundable Use Tax Fee” of $405, presented as a Florida consumer use tax
  4. That fee negotiated down when the buyer said she could not pay it, to $205 and then $150
  5. A refund offered only if the buyer first paid the $150

The author reports a second buyer who paid a $205 fee and then faced a $400 “refundable insurance” demand, also negotiated down. The account describes ExpressRouteHub as not tied to any recognised carrier system. It names the individual whose Zelle account received the payments; we do not repeat the name and have not established who controls that account.

The same post says, in one sentence, that another TikTok and Telegram persona used “a very similar model” with a different courier name. It gives no further detail, so we do not list that persona as an entry.

Evidence tier: Single published account.
