I got so frustrated with this that I installed Edge and now have Teams running as a web app, and at least that behaves itself.

That won't happen on this. You have to meet that person in few hours, that day only. Not much left for catfishing.

Is it really that hard to craft a title that uses normal english? For example:

"Amazon orders are still subject to replacement fraud"

There, I won't have to sit there and swap emphasis in my head until it makes sense with that one.

Newspaper headlines very often omit linking verbs (am, is, are, etc) when they can be inferred from context to make room for more important words.

They probably don't have much use on a web page except to sound like a newspaper headline.

Sorry if the title is confusing, it reflects my thought process as I was figuring out what was going on here in that the title I was going to use was "Amazon orders are subject to replacement fraud" and then I learned about the fact that this has been going on for quite some time and was reported on quite a bit back in 2012 (though I hadn't personally heard of it back then, as far as I remember), thus the added "(still)".

But.. yeah, I can see how that would be confusing as a lead-in.

Why not? I wouldn't pay my telecom for getting my data only as far as the nearest switching station. Why should I accept an almost-all-the-way-there delivery from a shipping company?
