It’s seems like this has happened enough times to security researchers that they would stop contacting companies directly. Would be nice if there was a service where researchers could upload their findings in private and anonymously send the company a private invite to see the results.

Possibly an existing system such as wiki leaks already has these features.

Well, that’s basically treason against the people of Argentina. The managers of that scam shop should be tarred, feathered, driven through the street, then buried alive under a dump truck’s load of their junk machines. That should set an example to other fucking bastards in that business.
