Vendor Graveyard · Consumer-direct funnel scams

"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 reported active 2025–2026, single-source. Sources for this entry are named inline below and numbered in full on the parent archive page.

The fee-ladder as that investigation describes it. A TikTok funnel into a Telegram group populated with usernames repeating endorsements. The reported order workflow:

  1. Initial payment via Zelle, Cash App, Apple Pay, or crypto ($305–$740 typical)
  2. “Refundable insurance fee” demanded before shipment (~$305)
  3. Fee negotiated downward when resistance appears ($205, $150); “refundable” is the critical word
  4. Additional “Consumer Use Tax” added (~$405)
  5. Refund conditional on yet another payment

The investigation reports that victims’ Zelle payments were routed to a recipient name recurring across at least two separate incidents, and reads that as a single operator or coordinated cluster behind the “Mia” persona. That payment-rail attribution is the author’s, drawn from victim reports we have not seen; we have not independently corroborated it. The same source identifies the courier ExpressRouteHub as fabricated, and we could find no logistics provider of that name.
