* The "Warning: Trade with Caution" banner only shows up after I open this dispute against him. It's not there prior to the deal.
Scammed by oschris [[email protected]]. He probably used someone else's name Christopher.
1. Seller posted a whaled thread for 7DS here. https://www.epicnpc.com/threads/global-16-urs-1x-6-9x-5-116-000-cc-200-00-or-best-offer.1580640. The link could be dead since he removed it right after I sent him the money. Hope Epic has an archived version of it. The only thing I have is a screenshot.
Added screenshot of the account that he posted.
2. Add him via discord ID [oschris] and chat. Discord removed any chat from him right after he removed me from Discord Friend.
3. Sent him the money $200 via PayPal F&F.
4. He acknowledged receiving the money and then removed me from Discord and his thread on EpicNPC. I've lost all my previous conversation with him on Discord. Should have just make a screenshot!! Didn't know Discord actually did this! What a bummer!
Lessons learnt hard and cruel. If the deal is too good in the first place for the price, always go for middleman and don't chance it ever!! At the time of purchase I'm kind of hasty because the deal is too good and I'm afraid it might just easily bought off by someone else. Which is true in 7DS forum since it is relatively new and people are selling it almost every 30 minutes-1 hour! I'm also not in a fully awake condition when seeing his thread, yes I just woke up from bed and checking Epic so that might contribute to my impulsive action.
The thing is he is a verified EpicNPC member with good ratings. Even checked his previous deal and seems legit!! Oh boy guess you can't trust these things ever.
* Sidestory: When asked his reason for sale, he simply replied he got sacked off due to the virus and need $$ to cover his expense. I should immediately flagged this when it happened! Guess what? I even console him and willing to pay him more if needed (what a silly thought!!! and I'm just glad I didn't). What are the chances for this to happened!
Long story short: Please investigate and ban his account immediately to avoid any future victom!! I can provide more proof (not discord conversation log) unfortunately if needed to clarify my case. I'm now going to file a PayPal dispute, chances are very rare but thought I'm give it a shot. $200 might sounds a little for most guys, and even that is true, I just hope he won't get away with this. Wish me luck guys and never repeat the same mistake that I did!
