Title: Sr Resolution centre going mad?
Post by: PePinJeNek on October 23, 2012, 11:53 pm
Hi,

Like many I got scammed by MrfireUk however
for the 1st time ever I had my coins in escrow.
So when It all came out I was happy not to have FE
but just extended the time by almost 2months to give him
the benefit of the doubt.

But when it was finally about to run out of extended time and it became
clear the vendor did not send anything(especially down under) I decided
to ask for a 100% refund. After MrfireUk offered me 60% .
I wrote a few emails prior to my case running out extended time to SR
 customer service explaining my case and backing up my suspicion of
this vendor scamming, without much luck since they are backed up replying
to emails.

Ok so I wrote everything I had to say in the resolution centre console
hopiing they would at leat read that bit.

To cut a long story short I asked them to refund me the money without affecting my stats(I know this is possible)
For the simple reason that there is heaps of proof that he has not sending anything and lots of people lost lots of cash.
I also included the fact that I had be scammed by tony76, esgal and coking and that It would only be fair to cut me
some slack. as I did not want my stats ruined over this and having to start a new account.(member for 9 months)
I specificly asked to take all this  matter into consideration however yesterday I recieved and standard respond
TELLING ME THEY HAD SETTLED ON A 0% REFUND ???
So they give me nothing, they did not read any of my emails prior to the case running out of time. They did not respond first
giving  me an option to take the 60% already offered by MrfireUK nor did the explain why did could not help me out
knowing this vendor was ripping people off.!!

Conclusion I probably lost around $600

I am going to try to get my money back somehow
and if I have to start a new account so be it.
This is unfortunatly no pocket change for me.
And if this is what SR want , for people to just
start new accounts afer a refund than thats a worry.

Any thoughts / info ??

Thanks for reading my cry  :)

First of all this sounds like a fucked situation. I've lost money too before, so i do feel for you.

how is this going to get your money back?

my suggestion is, take it in the hip pocket, have a cry, and move on.. Don't spend more money than your prepared to lose. (I know it hurts)

Man, that really sucks.  I would go ape shit if I lost $600. 

Can you try and explain what happened a little better?  What was the reason they gave you for 0% refund?

Yeah mate,
That's how I roll normally.
But in this instance I really believe I did
anything right and did not FE before getting
scammend. This was not a no show order mate.
It was never send , and I believe that
if there is plenty evidence indicating that vendor
did not send the enveloppe, it should not have an impact
on your stats.

Peace

The reason must have been because I asked for a refund without my stats destroyed?
But I NEVER thought they would proceed and just resolve by giving me $0...as I know
that in special circumstances "like vendors going rougue"  they can refund without ruining
stats.
And I would have expected at least some communication in case this was absolutly not possible
so I could have taken the offered 60% refund.

I'm going to try and see if I can sort out something with SR customer care but there under the pump atm
I'll will update here about any progress.

Thanks

yeah i would say that would have been the reason... ive never heard of getting 0% before.

Unless your stats are already fucked.

I had a similar situation today.

No problem with the vendor, but with SR.

I could not log in for the last 12 hours I had to resolve everything in escrow.

Finally, I am able to log in, guess what, AFTER the money was out of escrow robbing me of the chance of an extension or refund.

I mean, you have GOT to be kidding me. I used to just think people on here were bitching, but this shit's got to stop.

SR has been working fine for me for weeks. Just ran a computer scan and updated to the new TOR and "still" couldn't log on.

For some reason, from a Silk Road perspective, I'm just not buying it.

Every time, there is no refund they get their percentage, regardless.
