More than 200 people in China have been scammed for buying Wooting 80he

[proper flower]

More than 200 people in China have been scammed by finding someone to purchase wooting80he keyboards on the (Xianyu) platform. So far, 96 victims have been contacted, and the amount involved has reached 100000 yuan. These 200 people are unable to purchase wooting80he directly through the website because they do not have VPN software. Many people have reported to the police, but the possibility of recovering the money is very small

[frank shuttle]

and what should we do

[proper flower]

We hope to get a discount or ship as soon as possible, but we have been anxiously waiting for several months since we purchased the wooting80he a few months ago. In the end, we have not received anything, and we need to place a new order for the keyboard. The price is also higher than before, and we cannot buy the founder version.I just placed an order on the official website yesterday, which cost a total of $377.84. Can you give us victims some discounts

[fringe yew]

Buying stuff from unauthorized store and gets scammed.
Nothing wooting can do here IG

Im pretty sure this "Xianyu" is not wooting's aitherized store to sell their products in china.

[proper flower]

There is no authorized store for you in China, so we can only purchase your product through overseas purchasing agents. There are bloggers with millions of followers and the world's seventh ranked professional player on this list of 200 victims. If we have a safe purchasing channel, why take the risk of finding a purchasing agent

[fringe yew]

Sad to see this happened.. never trust these agents bro.

do this Xianyu have any website from where you purchase ?

[proper flower]

“闲鱼”app. This is a trading platform between Chinese individuals. We have reported the case to the police domestically, and the transfer records and transaction information have been handed over to the police

[fringe yew]

I hope you get your money back !!

[proper flower]

I hope so

[fluid pagoda]

it's sad to hear that,but to be honest,it's not Wooting's duty

[proper flower]

Yes, you have no responsibility. I just want you to quickly find a reliable dealer in China

[lime patio]

I'm sorry to hear this happened. As other mentioned there's not that much we can do, but we are taking selling in China very serious

You mention you need a VPN to order on our website, at what point is that needed? From what we've tested a VPN is not needed to order the keyboard from https://wooting.io

[fluid pagoda]

you're right,I'm living in China also.I confirmed that VPN is no needed to access Wooting's website.

[fluid pagoda]

zfrontier has a close commercial relationship with Wooting,it's a reliable reseller

[fluid pagoda]

I don't use VPN,I can use the website easily

[proper flower]

I have tried both on my phone and PC before, and I was able to access the website but couldn't order wooting80he

[proper flower]

The internet in China may vary from region to region, just like yesterday when I ordered a keyboard from the Wooting official website using VPN. Otherwise, I would not have been able to place the order. However, when checking the order, I tried to open the VPN on my phone but couldn't find it. Nevertheless, when accessing the website's shopping mall on my phone, it is necessary to open the VPN

[proper flower]

You should be in Guangdong, right? I'm in Tianjin. Without VPN, I can't access the mall and place an order successfully in Tianjin. When VPN is not available, I can access the website, but when I open the mall interface, it won't display or turn white

[proper flower]

China now has very strict management of VPNs, so not everyone can order keyboards from Wooting's official website

[fluid pagoda]

I'm living in Chengdu,I can enter the website without VPN since last year when I bought 60HE

[proper flower]

I don't know why, but I'm in this situation now. Without VPN, I can't even register for the official Wooting account. You can check my bill. I only downloaded the VPN yesterday and successfully placed the order ID：ROWA3215S

[fluid pagoda]

That is maybe a network problem,I guess.

[proper flower]

Apex professional player 3Mz, we were all scammed together and encountered the same problem

[fluid pagoda]

sorry,I don't play Apex.I'm a osu player.But I still hope you can get back the money.

[proper flower]

I have a Chinese-made iPhone, a Chinese mobile phone number, a Chinese IP address, and a Chinese App Store account. I don't know if this is relevant

[proper flower]

The money is likely to be lost, and I would prefer Chinese distributors to implement it faster than money

[young plover]

yes what jeroen wanted to know is when exactly the website stops working

[fluid pagoda]

zfrontier is a option,bro.

[proper flower]

Zfrontier is out of stock

[fluid pagoda]

it is the same situation as Wooting official website,but zfrontier is actually a reliabe reseller.

[proper flower]

I can't log in at all

[fluid pagoda]

I don't know what happened to you.But I can enter the checkout without VPN.maybe you should ask Wooting's staff for help

[proper flower]

I just tested again, and this is the PC version. I turned off the VPN and logged into Wooting's official website, but the speed became very slow. I couldn't log in on my phone at all

[fluid pagoda]

Sorry I can't help you...

[proper flower]

🥲

[young plover]

did you make an account?

[proper flower]

yes

[proper flower]

I have placed an order through VPN

[young plover]

doesnt matter how you placed the order

you might need to use the forgot password

[proper flower]

😰 Yes, I've logged in. My password is incorrect，sorry

[young plover]

but yeah other than that please let us know where the order process stops working without a vpn so we can look into it

[proper flower]

When shopping on the mall interface, there is no problem when you first enter, but when you browse the products, the webpage will suddenly turn white, just like when the internet speed is not good and the page cannot load

[young plover]

huh

[vagrant silo]

u guys want real truth about this story? guys wanted to get keyboards ASAP and got scammed. morale of this story is that always make sure you are buying from official source.

你又懂了

Why is it that the confirmed address for this batch of goods in Hong Kong is October 24th, but now it cannot be determined
