Client Scam Report Breakdown
Original Scam Report :
The client’s complaint originates from an order placed on October 2, 2025, at 10:51 AM. The user states: “I placed my order on 10/02/2025 10:51 AM, but still I hasn’t received my order.” This indicates that a considerable amount of time has passed without the expected delivery. Furthermore, the user attempted to reach out to the seller, stating: “I wrote a message to the seller, but the seller doesn’t answering me back.” The lack of response is not limited to the seller, as the user also claims: “I wrote a message to the customer support, but they same doesn’t answering me back.” Based on the client’s statements, there are multiple points of failure—both the vendor and the marketplace’s customer support system have failed to respond. The complaint concludes with frustration: “I don’t know what’s going on, but I am not happy with this service.” This suggests that the client is uncertain whether this is a scam or a logistical issue but remains unsatisfied with the transaction.
Definition of Terminology and Terms
To better understand the nature of this complaint, we must define key terms. Order Placement Date refers to the date and time at which the customer finalized the purchase and completed payment. Seller (or Vendor) is the individual or group offering goods or services on the marketplace. Customer Support is the designated help desk or service team responsible for handling disputes, refund requests, and general inquiries. The term “not answering me back” refers to a failure of communication, which is crucial in determining whether the vendor and marketplace are actively ignoring the buyer or simply experiencing a delay in response. Additionally, Delivery Failure can indicate either a logistical error, intentional fraud, or a seller abandoning their storefront. Lastly, Scam Indicators include non-responsiveness from both the seller and customer support, failure to provide tracking information, and an extended period with no updates. In this case, multiple scam indicators are present, as neither the vendor nor the support team has replied.
Analysis and Conclusion
Analyzing this report, there are strong indications that this could be an instance of a scam. The seller’s complete lack of communication raises red flags, especially when paired with customer support’s silence. While some marketplaces experience delays, a professional vendor and support team should acknowledge inquiries within a reasonable timeframe. In scam cases, a common tactic is Ghosting, where the scammer ceases communication after receiving payment. Another possibility is that the marketplace itself is a Fake Storefront, meaning it was designed to appear legitimate while never fulfilling any orders. To confirm this as a scam, further investigation is necessary, including examining the seller’s profile, checking if other users have reported similar issues, and reviewing whether the marketplace has a history of fraudulent activity. If no resolution is provided, the customer should be advised to avoid further transactions and warn others about potential risks.
