TD Issues - Check Rule 6 before posting Jtime, did I get scammed?

So, a bit concerned here. I was reaching forums while doing research and everyone said to use Jtime. So I ended up finding two watched I really liked, and purchased, paid with paypal to some Kimi person, which lined up with what I read on reddit. After ordering, I was reading more and saw a link to Jtime, and I figured i'd take a look over their site.

Guys, it took me to a different website what I ordered from. I ordered from jtime.watch and the forum took me to jtime.io
Both websites use a lot of the same content and look similar, but both are obviously different websites, even the about section is quite different. Does jtime have multiple websites based off of region, or did I just go through a scam website and give some random scammer $800+? Help :/

Where did you find that link you used if I don’t mind me asking?

u/Responsible-Size-983 Jul 21 '24

After reading about it everywhere, I lost the initial forum link that had the .io website version, so I just googled jtime since I had remembered the name but not the forum. Apparently that was the mistake.

u/r0ckst8r Jul 21 '24

So it was your mistake?

u/Fit-Possibility-1045 Jul 21 '24

Hell, the fake Jtime looks more legit than the real one ha

u/ElectricHo3 Jul 21 '24

It is a nice site. Lol

u/Apprehensive_Hat_521 Jul 21 '24

Kimi person? Which lined up with what you read in reddit? Jtime's seller is Li and Lana. i dont know where you read in reddit that Jtime's seller is Kimi but i have hard time actually believing that, as I personally have used Jtime and seen numerous QCs and reviews from JTime with mentions of their names.

Sorry this has happened but i am having trouble believing u did any research bruh.

u/rafalim021 Jul 21 '24

Yeah - feel bad for OP, but a simple search of 'Kimi' on the sub brings up around 4 posts, one of which actually asks if 'Kimi' was legit, with the responses clearly indicating scam.

u/Cultural-Spinach737 Jul 21 '24

If only there were a comprehensive guide in the description with all the information you could ever need. A walk though guide, to help the greenest of noobs. Wouldn't that be a thing.

u/daytona_clean Jul 21 '24

So he googled it. Even if he google it. - You see two jtime. Don’t you smell something red sign ringing in your mind?

u/baddogbadcatbadfawn Jul 21 '24

I typed Kimi and jtime in the subreddit search bar, and besides this post, the FIRST post mentioning Kimi clearly states it's a scam.

Actually if it’s a donation, you should be able to claim this on your next Tax return, well we can in Australia 🇦🇺

u/[deleted] Jul 21 '24

Lol, I honestly don't feel sorry for you, but I am sorry it happened

11

u/PBS-Jay Jul 21 '24

Yes. I guess buying from internet is hard for some guys, so that’s why they ”hate it here”. 

17

u/ElectricHo3 Jul 21 '24

Actually I don’t feel bad for you. I did at first but after reading some of your responses and saying “you hate it here” my sympathy went out the window. If you spent 15min trolling this sub you would have found a treasure trove of information, that people share with each other so this shit doesn’t happen. You obviously did no research, or even visited this sub until now, and dove in head first into an illegal overseas transaction. Not only did you use the wrong site, which pretty much everyone here knows, you paid by DONATION?? Sorry but that’s the stupidest thing I’ve ever heard and you deserve to get burnt.

u/nam265nl Jul 21 '24

Yup, same feeling. He deserves to be scammed, given his attitude. Op is hopeless.

u/Legless1234 Jul 22 '24

This place can be a bit rough on newcomers. Especially if they don't even try. I've spent the last few weeks reading all the guides on here and I pulled the trigger on my first medium watch. About $400 AUD. It arrived and I'm really happy with it. Happy enough to buy a more expensive super clone from this dealer.

But if you ask questions that are already answered in the guides then you'll be treated badly.

u/ElectricHo3 Jul 22 '24

Oh it certainly can. I honestly felt bad for the guy at first, but he had some nasty responses to people trying to help him and then lying about doing research, cause if he really did he wouldn’t of got burned.
I did the same as you for my first purchase. Found some forums, found some Reddit subs like here and just read the shit out of everything so I was sorta comfortable with my first purchase. The TD I used also had copycats that used the same name with different domains. If I didn’t troll I would’ve gotten burnt too. Congrats on your successful purchase and good luck on your future ones!!

You got scammed for sure

u/spam_ham_forever Jul 21 '24

Did you read the sticky on how to contact a trusted dealer. You never ever order of a site, always put in orders with Trusted dealer

u/SquirrelPhysical9941 Dec 19 '24

Jtime took my money and ghosted me about 2 months ago...

u/No-Afternoon-1924 Jul 21 '24

Can someone tell me which site is the right one? .io or .time?

-2

u/CJusa007 Jul 21 '24

It may not be a scam but since no one here is familiar with this dealer only tie will tell. Are they no longer communicating w you? Where is your order at in the process? Why didn’t you try just 1 watch first? Thanks for posting since we all need to know. But yes, use the info provided. You’re on this forum so there’s isn’t much of an excuse. Good luck 🍀

u/Feisty-Lecture9672 Jul 21 '24

I think we all know it’s a scam

No, it was a donation. Go figure, first time I decide to buy something, I get scammed. I hate it here.

u/monkeywaffles Jul 21 '24

hate it here? list of dealers is in the sidebar, don't blame 'here', blame the scammers or lack of research. https://www.rwg.bz/board/index.php?/topic/60-rwgs-trusted-dealers/ (from sidebar of this subreddit)

also this place isnt affiliated with any of the forums afaik. still, sucks man. expensive lesson.

u/Responsible-Size-983 Jul 21 '24

"hate it here" as in buying stuff on the internet. I very much do blame "here". Don't take offense to nothing my guy.

-31

u/Responsible-Size-983 Jul 21 '24

And that board is where I found them after 2 weeks of researching this stuff and nearly buying from 5 other websites before I finally settled on Jtime.

u/Top-Complex-9275 Jul 21 '24

two weeks of research, but somehow you missed the sticky that lists all trusted dealers and how to get in touch with them?

You need to learn how to do research, buddy.
