Guess what! They just Blocked me from making comments on any facebook site and on their site. That only demonstrates their GUILT. Please guys keep giving out this link so we can make ourselves be heard. WOW DEAL — False Advertisement

As simple as this, Souq.com UAE wouldn't need to comment on ANYTHING if they are not GUILTY. What is a big "successful" company as souq be doing on a customers complaint page trying to justify themselves. What is the need if the company claims to be fair? Isnt it normal for some companies to have negative feedback?...however, when there are over hundreds of complaints, of course, a company feels the need to take necessary action to prove they are fair, by, deleting messages on their facebook page, blocking certain customers from access to this page and justifying themselves on a customer's complaint page..No one is trying to tarnish your image. It is you, Souq.com, who have done this to yourselves by advertising a product that never existed as a marketing scheme to fool customers in believing they had a real chance in purchasing this amazing deal.

You have no words, they are empty, since there is no Government or a regulating company available to prove your DEALS are FAKE.

You can say a thousand things and have "proof", but all of it can be just made up.
You can have people claiming they got the WOW [SCAM] DEAL but all of them may be your own staff or your employees following your orders and posting feedback on these purchases in order to deceive us once again.

THE FACT is that we were not 50 or a hundred people, WE were THOUSANDS of people looking for the WOW DEAL (that was a SCAM) continually refreshing your website every second and ALL OF US, within a fraction of a second suddenly saw your product updated as SOLD OUT! and whoever got to put it in the cart WAS NOT ABLE TO BUY IT due to a message appearing "The requested item could not be added to your cart at the moment" therefore the buyers were not able to proceed with the purchase. THIS IS CALLED A SCAM. This is DECEIVING and is not right.

You got people from every kind of race and financial status' waiting and wasting their time for this. There were reportedly people who stayed up all night, even though they had to go to work early the next day. Do you think this is FAIR?

Even if your deal was true... (lets say) and lets say you sold 5 to 10 items in a second (which is impossible) Why would you attract thousands of people for a product that will only be available for a couple of people? Why would you play with peoples time and energy like this? Of course we know the reason. It is in order to satisfy your selfish desire to fill your pockets with money by creating more traffic to your website.

If you were a real, honest and a FAIR website, at least you would have given a time frame for the WOW DEAL of 4 hours and you would state HOW MANY ITEMS YOU HAD AVAILABLE FOR THE DEAL. But of course, we know the reason you don't do it, and it is because if you would say how many items you had you would never have had attracted thousands of people to your website like you did on 8TH APRIL 2013 with the FAKE BLACKBERRY Z10 for 999AED. AND this is only supposing that your deal was real for a couple of people which we are sure is not the case.

Souq.COM I will always be here to tell the truth for THE PEOPLE you are hurting and deceiving with your SCAMS.
I will always be here to give FACTS not empty words with no real PROOF like you guys DO.

So please DEAR do your self a favor and STOP SCAMMING.

Whoever wants to get in touch with me send me your email through an inbox here or a comment right here

DDSP Thank you for your support. They Did the same with me they blocked me from commenting permanently in any of their websites so I will do the same open another account because is the only way we can spread our word and help people avoid this trap.
Please spread the word. I will continue to do so aswell.

I just received and email from Khaleej Times (a Major Newspaper in Dubai) asking for my mobile number to talk about writing an article about Souq.com WOW DEALS.
But I don't know if I should do it. Or if is real that is Khaleej Times... Specially while providing my Mobile Number.
I am uploading an image with the email they sent me. So you can see it and tell me.

What do you Guys Think?

When I listen to people like you it gives me more courage to keep defending this cause.

Your comment only confirms once again how souq is able to deceive us using others people name in order to confuse and make us believe their deals were real.
Look how this j3poii threatens me by saying "The next move is yours, SOUQ is just waiting" what he is saying is definately because he is part of SOUQ and they are afraid of the media. So yes, now I will do as much as I can to let everybody know about this.

I will repeat, souq can say whatever they want. The fact is that your promo or deals are not regulated by any kind of regulatory company or by the government, therefore, there is NOTHING that can guarantee or make us believe in you after all of us experienced the BB Z10 deal being sold out in less than a second. And nobody was able to say they got the DEAL.

After 2 days Souq supposedly delivers the BBZ10 to four or five people and takes pictures of them to prove the deal was not a scam...but what does this prove? NOTHING! As far as I am concerned, these people are all part of souq.com and not real winners... And the worst part is, that nothing can be done to prove any of it is real.
INVOICES can be made up, photos can be faked and sent, comments can be posted by "happy customers"...the list goes of all the things they can do to state their deals are real and not just desperate measures to save their image.

The only way we can believe in their promos is:
1- If they say the time the WOW DEAL is going to be up. (They DO NOT want to do this because it will lower the amount of time the customers will be in their website.)
2- If they say HOW MANY ITEMS will be available. (They DO NOT want to do this because this will lower the amount of traffic in their website because people will already know their REAL chances of getting the DEAL)
3- If they contract a third party company as a regulator of the DEAL. or a government institution will be better. (They DO NOT want to do this because the WOW Deal is a SCAM.)

This is really the only way we can confidently say, YES ALL DEALS ARE REAL, and it is all we are asking, after this we will believe, not to mention make your customers happy and not waste their time. Because it will then be controlled by your side and our side, not only by SOUQ.COM, which is unfair.
We need this because your word can not be trusted... And it makes it worse when you try and cover up your mistakes including when participating on negative comments blogs.

So please dear, do yourself a favor and MAKE CHANGES, don't stoop any lower.

J3poii what is wrong with that is that there is no regulations on these Deal...
Must of the Countries where you do such schemes, or games or deal as you want to call it have a third party regulatory company that regulates the fairness and the reality of the Deal.
UAE is not asking them or forcing them to do this. Therefore the deal cannot be trusted.
They can do whatever they want and play with us as they like.

Before anything else my Dear i am going to talk with you with the respect a human being deserves.
I will tell you I was a seller and buyer in souq.com and I used to do it as a form of business.
I do not die to have a BB Z10 but why not to buy it for 999? I believed in souq and realize I was loosing my time bu doing it and thats not fair.
Listen, I am a justice lover. I love to be Fair and people to be treated as they deserve. That is why i have the courage and I invest the time to let people know the truth about souq.

Even though the WOW Deal though is not a raffle or a lottery it needs to be regulated because it can easily be used in the ways i already told you.
Or tell me my dear friend? Is it impossible that the deals are fake. Is it impossible that they are doing it just to attract people to their website making innocent people loose time? Is it impossible tey can make up invoices or make their own employees post on facebook that the deal is tru and take pictures of the to "prove" it is true?

And now lets say that the deal is true: for example 2-4 items sold:
Do you think is fair make someone loose their sleep and go to work without sleeping without letting them know there is only 2-4 items? Because trust me noone that sees this deal thinks about the offer being only 2 items. People are excited for it. At the end you guys are playing with these peoples feeling.
The only way to stop this to be able to happen is to have a regulatory company. As simple as that.
I am pretty sure you are from souq I can't imagine a customer trying to save a company reputation like this without winning nothing. Its just unusual. So if you are from souq let me tell you I will not stop this until you make the deal fair say the time give the quantity of a ailabke items and have a regulatory company. Or you stop the deals.

Please do not be offensive in your next messages if you want to answer. Keep it i. The respect way. Thank you.

Clarke! Thanks for joining us. I cant see your comment

They Did it again Today with the iPhone Deal making fool of the PEOPLE.
Now they are using a new strategy. Instead of publishing the item as sold out right away they are leaving the item on the website as if you are able to buy it. It shows 45% sold and when you hit BUY IT NOW you just get a SERVER ERROR...
SOUQ.COM You are so pathetic.

Jeffrey Tolosa ( http://www.facebook.com/jeffrey.tolosa ) J3poii:
I sent and image of the person that emailed me as proove of what I am saying is true and I will send it again.
The only reason I did not do it is because I am not an EMIRATI. I am an expatriate. And you know that we dont have as many rights as an EMIRATI. I did not do it because I do have a business here and I dont know if the government is supporting SOUQ so I dont want any problem.
Check the picture! I am not Lying. WHy whould I?
If I am defending Peoples right. Not making fool of customers like you SOUQ.COM are doing.

Guys check out this image that one disappointed customer made about Souq. Its pretty funny because is using SOUQ's facebook timeline cover photo and he edits it putting "Best Wow Deal Scams"

I dont believe they would support them if they know they are doing something illegal come on... I never said that. What i meant by government supporting them is that government has given them the right to operate in UAE. The thing is that SOUQ has the ways to make it look legal because there is nothing that is regulating them... So my Word would be nothing for them until they can proove them ilegal...
Is that all you can do blame it on me a person that is fighting for the right thing?
Come on... It is so obvious that these guys are doing something wrong.
If you were not part of them you wouldnt be supporting them come on Jeffrey let us be in our own complaint board there are many people affected and thats why they are here.

J3poii:

You have a good point. And I understand what you mean.
However,
Why does this always happen?
Why did it happen this morning again? Now in a different way: The Deal is available with 45% sold but nobody is able to buy it...
They should really stop this because even if they are selling only one (and this is giving them the benefit of the doubt as you requested) they are getting thousand of customers angry and wasting their time for a selfish desire of making money bringing traffic, popularity and accruing emails from customers.
And yes, They do have good prices and good Deals...
Also other bad things like horrible shipping and handling and low quality product sometimes.But is a young and growing company so this is understandable.

hey evidence enough is many people complaining and no clear evidence that the deal was true.

I checked the report... But at the end Souq will give a good explanation.
The good think is that... I think there will not be anymore wow deals.

We actually managed to make souq say at what time the deal was going to be live and to put in the advertisement that there is a limited quantity which is fair enough and we got to do a lot with it.

Well Done Transporter!

Totally Agree with what you just said! Serious Company do not need to comment back in their defence.
Thanks for your support everybody!

Even if they sell 1 or 5 or 100 they should be regulated. Im going to sleep now see u tomorrow.

J3poii i kind of like your passion for defending what you believe even though I dont agree with you!

Is not nice to make fun of people when they don't know how to do something.
Maybe he was just too lazy to make a screenshot that preferred to take a picture.

I do not believe in SOUQ and never will.
Thanks Jake Real for your evidences!

Hey! Check out this video guys. One more evidence:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9P8EuoH2kSw

Check this video out! It shows what happpened with the WOW deal for the iPhone 5.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9P8EuoH2kSw

Exactly and a real customer would never spend hours of his live in this complaint board defending a company with so much passion as j3poii is doing!

This is the reason I strongly believe he is part of souq.com.
Anyway, we have already gotten what we wanted that is to stop the Wow deals.

Even on the last wow deal they had to state at what time the deal was gonna be on and that there is a limited quantity.

We have a Victory there Jake Real!
And thanks for your support Jake Real.
And J3poii also for being such a good person to argue with!

I am posting this on behalf of J3poii since he cannot post on the board for some reason!
It doesnt mean I agree with anytging he says.

@Jake Real
If your arguments were slammed right onto your face, that's what you do. You resort to demands which really don't matter. How do you prove something like that in a virtual place? Unless you want to meet me and my family and friends, how?
You are not making any sense. You're accusations are baseless. You can speculate and have doubt all your life for all I care but I will not give in to your demands just to satisfy you.
Answer the 3 points or you are just nothing.
I have invalidated your claim days ago. You are not making any sense.
The points I presented to you are facts. They don't have to come from Souq.com. They can be said by smart people too.
And by the way, I think one of the competing companies paid you to destroy Souq. There, I returned the favor. Prove that and you get what you want.
Now, do not stop barking. Lol. Then roll on your tummy. :)))))
(Note: I posted this yesterday and today, it didn't show. As a gentleman, can you post it for me? Thanks.)
