[Vendor Warning] Scammed by Zeus on Agora

Newbies beware. Scammed by Zeus. As I understand that is typical business to scam newbies. Even so called "reputable" vendors like Zeus. Maybe I am unlucky, but that's exactly the reason why I was trying to void so called "markets" recently, as it just like lottery. I already lost count how many times I was scammed. There is no any safeguards to name and shame scammers. All that FE is just a joke. They don't ship if you don't FE early, if you do - you will lose money (not always, depends how "lucky" you are). So next time when you FE and you are newbie, be only 20% confident that you will get anything. We could argue that wasn't much just 100£, but that is still money. Worst is that there is no basic trust in such vendors, what shit they sell if they scam left and right. Just anybody who deals with Zeus be aware, what he will try to scam if he can go away with that. P.S. He doesn't even bother replying to messages

So... Maybe some proof to take this report seriously? Have you tried talking to the market staff?

I've been ripped off twice, and one of them was for a dollar. I've been at this for years, what are you doing wrong?

So, just a few tiny problems...

It's obvious that you're frustrated and angry. Gather together whatever you can to back up your claims, and confront the vendor and admins as tactfully as you can.

It is no any secret - order was for coke 1g. And to be fair after I complained to Support and on Agora website, I received today refund. However I still don't believe that this guy is honest, for one simple reason - i sent him 3 messages (3 days in a row) and he didn't bother replying. What proof you need? Order number - #ZVk4mZ3wr7. I waited 10 days for the order. I sent him 3 messages. I do understand that this strong statement, but that just doesn't change a fact. Can parcel be lost? Sure. But you can reply somebody in 3 days? I can guarantee you 100% that I wouldn't complain everywhere I wouldn't get refund. You can take it as my opinion, poor experience, however I wouldn't trust this guy.

got ripped off by same vendor

Feel like such a fool. So the routine went like this.

Fe'd for order worth 0.4 bitcoins. He said it was shipped. Nothing arrived and I queried it. He sent me link that there was a UK postal strike and he would reship if I sent my address again. I did. Nothing for another week. Suspicious now I googled the link he had sent and realized it referred to a strike in 2001 but it was cleverly set up so it shows this week's date

So I asked him again but he was on vacation.

A week later he came back with a story that he had change his pgp key and was locked out. So he said send my mail address again with new key.

I did, still nothing. So now I updated feedback 0/5 and explained situation. He then wrote back saying if I changed my feedback to 5/5 I would get full refund. I did and gave him 24 hours to refund. He didn't and I realise now he was playing for time as my 6 weeks was up and I can't change feedback.

He has great feedback from supposedly real customers but guess he felt he could rip off a newbie with impunity.

I mailed admins to explain situation but no response yet.

So pissed off now!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
