not this one.

That seems illegal pretty much everywhere (and also extremely unethical), so I removed it.

Don't these services just make use of Amazon's referral system?

What's a 'refund service'?
You buy something on say Amazon and they get you a partial refund after you receive (and keep) the goods. You would usually need to buy through the person offering the service

I see..

Sorry... I did not understand. How do I get the partial refund ? Are they the seller themselve trying to have a good rating on Amazon, eBay etc. ?
Not 100% sure but most likely either stolen credit cards or social engineering with amazon. Either way by doing something illegal/fraudulent

Oops... then it is very risky. The buyer might be in trouble if it is found that stolen credit card has been used in the purchase. Everyone should avoid it for their own safety.

It is a free market and users should proceed with caution. But yes I agree that most of these "services" likely are doing something illegal.

Not much to add really, you can find such topics in the services board at the moment. Just be aware that it's fraud and if you decide to try it you're the one taking the risk.

It must be one of the first times that someone advertises that here. If it's allowed now, it will be allowed in the future. What's next? Drug trafficking?  Roll Eyes

Most of those services (I know some people that do those services on other forums) are not fake . but still that dosen't change the fact that this is illegal and unethical even if they try to convice them selfs that it's not by SEing (Social engeeniring ) big comapnies like Sony , Samsung , Dell , Intel , Microsoft etc ...
Those services should definitly get stopped and banned for good , also add a poll so we see people opinions

In this case I agree with you, we should "make" something to stop these BS.
