DISPUTE Information
######################
Link of transaction thread (URL, Epicnpc thread):
Approximate value of property: $600 USD
Was Trade Guardian used? No
If yes, what is the Trade Guardian ID?

What is the dispute about?
Paid for the Azur Lane account but seller gave me a fake twitter account that doesn't work, meaning I can't login.
Other details / notes: Seller deleted all info of the post and marked it as sold right after. Also immediately ghosted me on Discord.
I should've realized it was a scam when the seller declined trade guardian but oh well, a hard lesson learned.

I don't think I'll be getting my $600 back haha. Not much for me but definitely gonna use my judgement better going forth. A $600 lesson is better learned than some worse scams which could blow life savings. Simply need to be careful going forward. With some venting off the way, I did some back searching and it seems that this account has been put up for sale quite a lot recently, all with their post removed soon after. I'm not sure if these 3 people are the exact same people but it seems likely considering the account being the exact same and deleted soon after, all 3 users which I am about to list all share the exact same local time too. It seems @MelBuns wasn't able to delete the post as I posted a feedback before she could delete it.

The account was put up for sale first by the user @DWang92 , with this post soon deleted after but I know you guys can see deleted posts:
https://www.epicnpc.com/threads/en-...99-8-cr-100-skins-all-collab-limited.2147131/
Which we can then find the linked imgur:
Archived instead it gets removed:

Which then changes hand to the user @DaniDan , likewise we find a post deleted soon after for unknown reasons:
https://www.epicnpc.com/threads/hig...-100-skins-☆-20k-gems-☆-all-collab-☆.2152001/
Which we can then find the linked imgur:
Archived instead it gets removed:

Whether or not you guys play the game, you can see the exact same ships are oathed/the gears and item depots are exactly the same! Including the paid skins are all exactly the same! You guys can have any AL mods look over if you want to confirm what I'm saying.

Then it ends up with the user @MelBuns, which didn't have time to delete the post since I added feedback:
https://www.epicnpc.com/threads/sold.2154707/
Which we can find the linked imgur:

Once again, the exact same account is identified across all 3 users.

Of course, there is a probability that the first 2 sellers of this account was legit and wanted to flip the account for some reason/profit and just @MelBuns is a scammer. But I do find it strange that two other users posted the same exact account, deleted the post, and all share the same exact local time.

Worth looking into but I'm not accusing the previous 2 users with this statement, but only stating facts.
