Title: Need to Cancel an Order: Scammer asking for FE
Post by: recklessdoseman on September 21, 2013, 07:30 pm
I placed an order a few days ago for some K from K Queen. Obviously from the most recent reviews and threads on here this vendor has turned scammer. The vendor marked the item as in transit and told me to FE, so now I can't cancel. I'd rather not wait 9 days to use the resolution center especially considering K Queen almost definitely won't yield to any refund request. What should I do?

same thing for me, i think he sold the account to scammers, as virmo did, and mercury31, and many others....

i ordered from k queen other times, and finalized early, so this time i did it again without fear... but never waited so long...

the rule is never FE, this was the last time. if k queen will not accept (if he's still the same honest seller, not a scammer who bought the account..), i will found other k, not a problem.

You can message SR Support on the main site but odds are you'll need to wait out the time to get the refund.  If the vendor is known to be scamming then you'll likely get your refund without any negative impact on your account.

As cirrus said message support and take the order into resolution as soon as you are able, lucky for you that you didn't FE.

That sounds about right. I've gotten some solid k from K Queen before, and it came a bit late and I was given the option of a complete refund if it never came. When I was asked to finalize before this order was sent I knew it had to have been over for a once great vendor!

I'll go ahead and do a support ticket I guess, but I figured I would follow the support procedures instead of jumping right into a ticket. Thanks folks, and I hope everyone that has gotten burned gets at least something back.

i wrote to sr support, hope they could refund my 24 euro.. even if i did FE.

my new rules are:

NEVER FE, NEVER.

never buy from sellers under 4,9

always check recent votes and reviews, and if he's in stealth mode or without listings, check the forum.

sadly k queen was legit till 12 september, so i had this problem.

i've more than 100 transactions, 50 vendors and 3500 euro spent, but i'm not scammer-proof...
