Usually what happens is that companies buy people's silence, usually with some free goods if the victim is naive and can be made to believe that this is a simple mistake that never-ever will happen again, or in hard cash for those that see through the scam and need more convincing.
The other common story made to convince victims to go away is that the person responsible is no longer with the company. With the implication that they've been fired. Usually combined with an apology to make it feel like the victim is on the same side as the company and it's all about this individual. It's so much BS of course.
If their was 100's of people saying same happen, then different story. Reason I started this thread beside to let people know what happen, so they don't get away with it and to see if others would come forward as suspected they done the same to me to other's, as that usually the case and the fact I saw another listing disappear, but couldn't see the listing as was deleted. Figuring one of the biggest forum for "Test Equipment", someone would have read this thread and said something.
The disappearing listing was from ToolBoom Supermarket, after using the cache to see the listing, as google saves it. They are a Siglent authorized distributor I found out. So more likely Siglent had nothing to do with the disappearing listing as I suspected. So far it seem like they only done this to me, their maybe others, I won't doubt that they done this before, but no one else has came forward yet. Did look at other listings for at last the last three months and couldn't find any other deleted listings, or at least ones I know of. I have also a used Siglent scope which was listed for over a month and sold it, they didn't do anything to that listing. What they did that started this whole thread was wrong and they are clearly in the wrong and they pretty much admitted it was for controlling the price, but the email came from the lady I won't name, very well could have been same person that sent the notice. So very well could be a major screw up on that employee part, or department and they assume it was ok, when it's not.
Very questionable behavior and maybe illegal, but do I really want to go that route? No, I look at more details and don't see them being this big evil corporation, like some do. I see them more being disorganized and having lack of procedures set in place and lack of, or poor communications. Plus the fact they changed a few upper management staff recently. So rather give them the chance to resolve the issues. It up to Siglent to take the steps to regain the trust of their customers.
Other used Siglent gear sold and not deleted.
