Account targeted by bot attack
Account targeted by bot attack, support ignores evidence
On May 6, 2026, my Vinted account was targeted by an automated bot attack. I received 7 fake reports within 6 minutes, including 3 reports in just 3 seconds. My account was shadowbanned as a result. I provided exact timestamps and evidence to Vinted support. A representative named "Mehdi" completely ignored the technical impossibility of a human sending reports that fast. Instead of investigating the logs or escalating the issue, Mehdi sent generic copy-paste templates about "how to appeal" (which is impossible since the reports don't link to any specific items) and closed the ticket. Vinted offers zero protection for sellers against targeted spam attacks and automated account restrictions.
