Describe the problem:

I was redirected here after making a report so I'm just gonna copy paste it:

This guy scammed me a few days ago but I couldn't screenshot the chat logs before he deleted them. His IGN is Brim, and he faked his name as David Hayes, despite the PayPal account that I sent money to having the name Adrian Meikel Ficek (I couldn't see who it was until it charged me due to me obliviously sending money to his email named [email protected] while he claimed the money from the link sent to it by PayPal. This PayPal account email was [email protected]). What I can do is prove he's a scammer with a little test you can conduct: Add him on discord and ask to buy and he will refuse to use a middleman because of "possible exploits" despite his post on here clearly stating he wants one. I believed him because he would respond late and mentioned he didn't care about Minecraft or his account anymore and would rather it rot than him possibly be scammed so since it was my idea to pay with PayPal F&F, I thought it was worth the risk but obviously not, that was a huge mistake on my part. If you guys can probe him on alt accounts and get him to say something inconsistent than what he said to another alt account, then those lies should be enough proof that he's bullshitting. Please take this report seriously, PayPal didn't take mine lmao.

Here's the best screenshots I can muster:

Felps22 apparently added him on discord on September 26 according to Brim's thread, maybe he can be used as a witness?

Hey,
so first of all I want to point out the following:
EpicNPC does NOT investigate disputes unless Trade Guardian was used. Instead we will conduct a review of the accused member's account. Please give the user a negative feedback instead.
If Trade Guardian was used, please go to the Trade Guardian > History or Active Transaction page and click the "Report" button. Someone will then join the chat and investigate your claim.

Second of all, I never had contact with the user in question, nor did I receive any payments, as that is NOT my Paypal email. As stated in the Thread where I am advertising the account, I would not refuse a middleman (I have a known and highly reputable middleman in my friends list for months already, why would I refuse a middleman?)
Heres proof with another user that contacted me (probably) through epicnpc, heres what I said: https://prnt.sc/sA6FcA_XBHXQ
Lastly, I don't know you kid. I receive so much offers on a daily basis, maybe you got mad that I didn't take your offer, or because you refused to do it with my middleman that is a 100% trusted, no automated system, just one person doing everything for a small percentage.


Paypal didn't take your report seriously? Maybe this is because why. Your story doesn't make sense, AT ALL!

I hope the moderator that reads through this also sees the picture.
Have a wonderful day everybody and stay safe!

Very interesting you highlighted the point "EpicNPC does NOT investigate disputes unless Trade Guardian was used," you would make a good lawyer.

1. "Second of all, I never had contact with the user in question, nor did I receive any payments, as that is NOT my Paypal email"

Adrian

2. "maybe you got mad that I didn't take your offer, or because you refused to do it with my middleman that is a 100% trusted"

That's funny you just said you never contacted me and now you're making assumptions I was mad because I didn't want to pay with your middleman, implying WE DID talk.

3. https://prnt.sc/sA6FcA_XBHXQ

By the way staff, this guy loves using alts to fake discord conversations and use them as "proof" for whatever point he's trying to make, he showed me two fake conversations before. And once again, he blurs the names of whoever he's talking to like that isn't suspicious.

4. "Paypal didn't take your report seriously? Maybe this is because why. Your story doesn't make sense, AT ALL!"

That's because I paid with friends and family and they're pretty strict on what payments get canceled or not. But it is funny you're saying PayPal didn't take my report seriously, why would I ever lie to PayPal support after I regretted spending $1500? That doesn't sound like a fabricated scenario I would benefit off of, but you're admitting with your quote I did in fact send money to a certain someone and want it back.

Other points:

* I actually just recently made a trade on this site with TD for a Minecon 2012 cape account for $800, proving I'm a legitimate buyer yet you haven't done business on this site whatsoever despite having a month old thread of an OG 2011 minecon cape account with original owner? That's about as valuable as it gets and is highly prized yet it hasn't been sold on here yet. That's strange isn't it? Especially with your "so many offers on a daily basis."

* Brim you said you were the original owner of your account according to your thread yet your name history on NameMC is hidden besides an OG name you seemed to have sniped in 2021. That's odd don't you agree?

* Lastly, Brim I'd gladly buy with your 100% trusted middleman on this site as long as any of the staff here can attest to his trustworthiness. I'll pay $2500 for your account.

Can the mod just close this? I don't have the time, neither the interest to read through all what he just wrote, maybe I had contact with them but can't quite remember. As I said, I get so many requests and interested buyers on a daily basis, it is just too many for me to count. Either way, I did not scam anyone. Where is our conversation then? If we had it via discord, where are your messages? IF AND ONLY IF, I would have deleted mine, where are your messages then??

This is ridiculous, please just end this, I have done nothing wrong.

 

[notBrim]

From my pov this whole ordeal is just to ruin my reputation, probably because he is mad I didn't take his offer, which is a shame that such people exist even to this day.

5. "As I said, I get so many requests and interested buyers on a daily basis, it is just too many for me to count"

Once again, I'd gladly buy your account for $2500 on here if you're having so much trouble selling it for whatever reason.

6. "Where is our conversation then? If we had it via discord, where are your messages? IF AND ONLY IF, I would have deleted mine, where are your messages then??"

Unfortunately I also deleted my own messages since it had my name and email as well as other personal info I shared and I didn't want him to screenshot it so he could leak it on the internet or do some other nasty things. I wasn't planning on reporting him until now since I didn't think it would matter since trade guardian wasn't used. What I can do however is send chat logs with his alt account or friend I contacted after I got scammed. This was the account in one of the screenshots he used as "proof" that he sold the account to me and that I would be soon receiving my ".txt file containing the login information."

Why on earth isnt this getting closed?
