They've removed two of my 1* reviews for literally no reason.

Hello Siimreeno, do you mind posting your reviews here. It will help for sure.

Yesterday there were about 150+ reviews, now it's about 120. Really dodgy stuff going on there.

"Ordered over £1000 worth of items and they all arrived together!

YOU WILL GET YOUR ORDER"

Who actually says "YOU WILL GET YOUR ORDER"? Only a scammer would. I've written a lot of reviews and never, never said anything of the sort nor others, that I've seen. It's a ploy to entice people to buy from 3PP.

Yes

I've noticed a lot of the reviews say "I have been using this phone for a couple of days now". I'd get it if one person said it, but the majority? 3pp have definitely run out of ideas.

I have been following conversation on another website HotUKDeals and someone seems to have received their order 3 days back. Cannot believe anything now but wait...another 15 days to go!!

You're believing a poster who has only posted on that thread, nothing else? Fair enough...

But to be fair, it's not uncommon for these scams to send out the occasional item to garner positive reviews or experiences.  It's also not entirely unheard of for them to operate essentially as pyramid schemes, with new orders paying for existing ones, (with the owner taking their cut of course, so there will eventually be a large number of people getting nothing.)

There seems to be a pattern to write in broken English from time to time.



3PP has pulled just about every trick and if people are willing to order.. they are adults, it is their money and it is their responsibility to know what they are doing.

Doing research never hurts.

Customers have been complaining that 3PP doesn't reply to any inquiries, but you know what "they're" quick at? Taking down 1 star reviews.

They are deleting the fake ones, but new ones are posted faster than old ones deleted..

I've already sent more info to Trustpilot about {Text removed by Forum Team}. He won't be able to censor honest reviewers for too much longer.

I was given a warning because I mentioned the scammer's name.. seriously? This is upside down.

It's like MSE in a way is defending [redacted].
