history: $1K+ spent throughout a month of ordering
After someone acquired some BTC, transferred them over to Pandora, and used them to make a purchase, their account is now no longer accessible. A quick search allowed them to find a couple of posts on the topic from ~the past month, none of which received much, if any, attention. Updates on the situation as to how support chooses to handle the issue at hand will be added as time progresses. NO phishing links were involved, only the amount needed to make the purchase was transferred and the coins spent within the hour. Anyone else who has experienced issues please post here. Whether it is vendors losing their money from the escrow system on a large scale or less obtrusive issues such as this, money continues being funneled to con-artists as the ashes and wreckage of SR1 continue to cause chaos within our community. Until this issue is resolved it is only safe to recommend that nobody utilizes Pandora Marketplace. Vendors and customers alike.
TLDR; Customer accounts on Pandora are being hacked following deposits. This is simply a warning and a place for others to post if they have encountered a similar issue or know of a solution.
edit: IMPORTANT UPDATE : After contact was made with the vendor, it has become aware that whomever now has possession of this (and many many others) accounts is requesting that orders be cancelled so that BTC can be stolen. I know the truth without an undeniable thought that Pandora is [in the process of] being hacked, or slowly stealing a few thousand dollars a day from low lying buyers on the site. Perhaps the reason this person waits until an order is placed is so that pin can be gained? I do not know. But I do know, once and for all, 100%, that Pandora is now a corrupt marketplace.
It MAY be my fault but.. after making purchases, the passwords/usernames i was 99% sure i used are incorrect when i type them in to check the status of my orders. the first time, support was very helpful and i got back into my account. I have contacted them again as i have just run into this issue AGAIN. I keep all pass and usernames stored in a hand written notebook... ive recieved 2 of 4 orders but have obviously not been able to release escrow
