Can I dispute a negative marketplace rating when the seller scammed me? - NoSuchAgency - Oct 24, 2018

Got scammed by guy, he negs my contract rating, but he scammed me. I don't feel like I should get a negative when I fulfilled my end of the deal


Thanks anyone who answers :)

It's probably just like it used to be with negative reputations. You could leave a scammer a neg if it happened to you but there was nothing stopping them from doing the same to you. I'm not sure the exact policy that is just a guess.

Open a Dispute if he scammed you .

Then as far as i know Invalid scammer reputations are agaisnt HF Rules ( few months ago)

I think same goes for Invalid Scammer B rating reputations

You should be able to dispute it otherwise, the system won't be clean at all, and probably you'll even lose customers because of that one "fake" negative rating. Anyways, I think it counts as a contract system abuse, which is bannable as far as I know. Hopefully, an admin or staff will check your thread.

I don't know if this is the first time this has happened, but I think if you have a convincing deal dispute open then I don't see why staff wouldn't get involved, at least to the extent of deleting the b rating because otherwise it would really devalue the system.

If you have been scammed then open a Deal Dispute in the proper subforum. Current policy dictates that Deal Disputes are invalid if they don't include an HF Contract, so be sure to include the proper material.

I have had my dispute up since before he negged me. With enough proof I think. I definitely used HF contract and linked it in the thread.

Thank you for the reply
