Even if their excuse is "sorry I forgot you came up with that"... Well, if they are indeed sorry they publish a correction stating as such!

This is exactly that situation in which a preprint can only strengthen your argument and demonstrate to others you came up with it.

IMHO this is one of the rarest ways people scoop. Needs so much data and experimental overlap for them to steal your method of idea.

*or not of. Also they need to jump into action so quickly as presumably you're already at the write up stage.

If you're not writing up, you should question why this person is asking you such detailed questions about your work.

Yes, if they're reviewing your work at a journal they can delay it and scoop you. I didn't realise you meant this, this is more common.

This one is exactly where a preprint saves you and gets you the chance to get their work retracted.

If you send the evidence they were your reviewer, they created a similar study while delaying your work, and here's the preprint.

Well, they will be screwed. Even if it doesn't get retracted they will be ridiculed and shamed.
