Hi Guys,
I'm new to this forum, i am looking to make a purchase from a TD and looked at purchasing from PureTime, however my question is - how safe is it to use a bank transfer to purchase as I know there is no comeback from this.
Does Puretime offer bank transfer? If they do, it's definitely safe...
Do you guys trust the TD's enough to pay by bank transfer or do you use a different method?
Scammers will distract you long enough with fake tracking numbers until it's too late to do any chargebacks. Credit card payments won't help you when getting scammed...
So, yes, we absolutely trust them. Puretime is one of the bigger TDs and has had Trusted status for a long time. The Trusted label isn't awarded just to anyone who wishes to get it.
A TD always gets thoroughly vetted by staff first and has to demonstrate a positive track record during a probation period. And in case of any disputes, as a member of this community, we have a pretty good amount of leverage beyond having an excellent relationship with them in the first place to help you. If there's any evidence for misconduct by a TD (a rather rare occurrence, btw), we can make them "not misconduct" by applying different levels of pressure from soft to threatening to revoke that status.
So, yes, it's as safe as buying counterfeit products can possibly be.
Just make sure you only use contact details on RWI, never, I repeat, NEVER through Google. The 10 first Puretimes there are fake Puretime impostors and they will definitely scam you!
