It all started when online media informationς in.gr, tanea.gr και protothema.gr ανάρτησαν δημοσιεύματα τα οποία ανέφεραν ότι η εταιρεία με την επωνυμία Skroutz εξαπάτησε το καταναλωτικό κοινό μέσω της συνεργασίας της με την εταιρεία 365shop, η οποία σύμφωνα πάντα με συγκεκριμένους λογαριασμούς στο twitter, αποσπούσε χρήματα από πολίτες οι οποίοι ενώ πλήρωναν για την παραγγελία τους, δεν την λάμβαναν ποτέ.
Let's see what followed: In the last few days, a lot of posts have been circulating on social media regarding another online store incident and orders placed through Skroutz, paid for, but never reached the customer.
A few days ago, there were complaints about 365shop. Skroutz then announced the termination of cooperation with the specific electronic store, stating that the complaints related to off-platform transactions.
In fact, Skroutz's management responded via twitter, claiming that since the purchases were made outside its marketplace, it does not bear any responsibility.
But all of the above was just the beginning.
While everything seemed to be over after the company's announcement on April 9, 2022, on 13/04/2022 the tanea.gr website published an article entitled: Complaint – case against Skroutz for defrauding customers by bringing again the theme in the foreground.
On 14/04/2022 at 7:15, the informative website in.gr, posted the same article as tanea.gr on the Newsroom level, which also has the title: Complaint - collusion against Skroutz for deceiving customers, also listing the tweets of so-called angry consumers.
Who crop usernames and date in tweets? Understandably? LOL #cancel_shopflix #cancel_skroutz pic.twitter.com/zJW5ajbhbJ

On 14/04/2022 at 8:15 the informative website protothema.gr publishes the first "report" which highlights the "rage" on twitter against skroutz.gr with the title: #Cancel_Skroutz: Rage on social media for a long time online fraud through the popular platform.
The strange thing, however, is that the hashtag #Cancel_Skroutz started popping up on twitter after the posts, and specifically after noon on April 14, which did not go unnoticed by users.
The #cancel_skroutz started chatting on twitter 59 minutes ago. In the press, however, they discovered it 4 hours earlier. It's like an inherited gift. #cancel_shopflix pic.twitter.com/ZPRidSttQA

#Cancel_skroutz started spinning on twitter 59 minutes ago. In the press, however, they discovered it 4 hours earlier. It's like an inherited gift. #cancel_shopflix
Twitter users noticed that the hashtag #cancel_skroutz was launched by supposedly dissatisfied consumers. A closer look found that there were too many new twitter accounts, who had only one post. Guess what was the hashtag they posted: #cancel_skroutz
At the same time, there were not a few users who felt that the specific media had benefited from the outburst against skroutz.gr, as their owner, the shipowner Vangelis Marinakis, maintains the new marketplace under the brand shopflix. Twitter users report that the aim of the shipowner was to make the company skroutz.gr lose its credibility in order to increase the popularity of shopflix, as a result of which a new wave broke out with the hashtag #cancel_shopflix.
It is obviously a coincidence that the prime minister has just set up his own platform # Μαρινάκης, I wanted to say, took such an extent the #cancel_skroutz - especially from SMEs owned by him. #cancel_shopflix https://t.co/4giE3p4Kgo

The @skroutzit brought cheaper products and boosted the small shops that had been drowned out by the chain cartels. It is quite by accident that he is attacked by the media of the Marinakis group that shopflix has. Do not give your money to Vangelas. Shop from grocery stores via skroutz.

Evangelato say flour
Skroutz is waiting for you
Know that none of your stupid viewers shop online because grandparents just do not know and the outcasts are afraid so whatever you say, we do not shop from the preseller#cancel_shopflix #LiveNews- Nanaka👩 (@nanakamer) April 14, 2022
Let the small shopkeepers get ready to pay a crazy start to our National Trafficker Vangela Marinaki for a place in #cancel_shopflix of. Otherwise cement will fall.

With information from thepressproject.gr
Find Homo Sapiens, you left the Scrooge page, you entered their 365shop page, what money do you ask for?
Cheap you did not want to get it, take 2 @@ now to have to remember them. What are you whining about?
If you do a search through Google an eshop and then ask for money from Google.
You do not lose money only when you put it in the Skroutz basket and you do not leave the page skroutz.gr
You should have been careful. The eshop was audited and was working
Marinaki, you live, you lead us.
Yes, smart guru, I lost my money and if you want to look for it, let me prove it! And yes I have Twitter here and I do not know how many years but I do not use it, will I give you an account? We are a group of 200+ on facebook and our #cancel_skroutz was a protest against the way we were deceived by their partner 365shop !!! From there and beyond if you want me to prove to you that I have lost 432 € for the order of a palit geforce rtx 3060 dual you know my email, but you will have to compensate me either with the amount or with the card! Ate graphic !!!
