kayseristic Posted September 22, 2022 Share Posted September 22, 2022 (edited) Hi everyone : in this week . I got 4 same types of order . Base package + bunch of extra service + express delivering . $ amount is quite huge And they cancel it immediately . I usually don't care that much since this won't effect my rating by any chance . But it's quite disturbing I can't lie . Have any of you got orders like these recently . I attached 2 of them below . Best Regards Kay Edited September 22, 2022 by kayseristic Forgot to edit out username 6 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
donnovan86 Posted September 23, 2022 Share Posted September 23, 2022 I don't see how it can be a scam because they are not taking any money from you, and you're also protected since the seller stats are not affected. I don't know what it is... maybe the person is confused.. but in the end that doesn't affect you at all, so you should be fine. 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
preciousads Posted September 23, 2022 Share Posted September 23, 2022 You can engaged with buyer and get the main reason why he cancelled the order and explain better to them how your service works 4 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
katakatica Posted September 23, 2022 Share Posted September 23, 2022 To me this looks like (just based on the writing and frequency) new 'sellers' who think that they are already selling on the site - but have no gigs (basically the type who spams inboxes, etc.) 10 hours ago, kayseristic said: Have any of you got orders like these recently . I've gotten a few before but I think those were genuinely just mistaken order or someone who wasn't paying attention. I don't think this is anything malicious, just... misguided people I'd say. 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
olyasr Posted September 25, 2022 Share Posted September 25, 2022 I experienced the same before - it was 2 different accounts, but very similar (I believe it was the same person with 2 accounts) and they offered exactly the same services as I. So I guess they simply think that in this way they will be able to "de-rank" you, damage your statistics or anything like that. That's just my guess, but I don't see any other explanation 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

THey are all new buyers without any buying record . ( I have shopify plus , Can see them ) And the reason is always the same . " Sorry I ordered by mistake " . The funny part is . all 4 of them bought the same package same extra services . Same region . Don't you think that is little bit fishy ? 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ozan_erdi Posted September 26, 2022 Share Posted September 26, 2022 I have done my laundry yesterday. There was some changes in the pocket of the pants. I guess i am a money launderer too. Ok that joke was cheap and disgusting. Seems like its an automated system to repeat itself. Definetly fishy. Maybe they are using this to spend some money and evade some taxes? 3 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are not taking any money from you and thus it's not a scam. Scamming involves the idea of them wanting something from you. I can only assume they might be a competitor trying to harm your account in some way. Otherwise I don't see any problem. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm only assuming . They paid with stolen credit card . Cancelled it , Withdraw their balance to some other payment ? Don't you think It's possible ? It's not a very huge amount around 700$ with each order . 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
