scammer. made a multitude of discord accounts to make counterfeit vouches, proof incl:
1.) https://cdn.[Social group links not...55361111769090/866692052607959091/unknown.png
- all of the accounts are offline, except him & I. the feedback he gave to Sanox12 was fake because he was trying to sell the exact same account to me. (https://cdn.[Social group links not...55361111769090/866693294499299368/unknown.png)
2.) in his post in https://www.epicnpc.com/threads/rush-sale-only-65.1996571/, he basically mentioned his discord ID, who was another person in the vouching discord. and his forum name is the same as someone who's vouched for him:

3.) tldr, scammy scammer. and he's likely gonna keep up the same trend. this guy probably used a VPN to counteract the "multiple accounts" bit in the forums, and has bumped his thread multiple times.

lots to unpack here, but i'd rather just mention here since i don't want you constantly pestering my dms because you're being ridiculously annoying.

1.) https://www.epicnpc.com/threads/rush-sale-only-65.1996571/
from this post, a person named jjMM#0705 from this post whispered me on my discord, adding me out of nowhere & offering "his" account to me, giving additional details where they were necessary.
attached here:

- this imgur album has the transcript of how i was approached & the account that he was also offering.

2.) settling on a possible price & payment method for the account, i mentioned that i was a bit skeptical of him because he was a little bit suspicious.
even though i asked him to log in on his genshin account that he was selling for a moment, he adamantly refused; saying that he's doing other things in another game, while i mentioned that as a client, i should have the rights to see the account i'm purchasing.
he said that i should check his discord server where he does midman transactions, because he has "people vouching for him"
attached:

- a transcript of our conversation after we've settled on the price & MoP. i found it honestly funny how he didn't bring up possibly using TradeGuardian and instead, offered with a midman from his discord. i brought up that if we ended up using a midman, i'd go out of budget. by the end of it, i didn't really mind going first, but i was filled with skepticism.

3.) so, i hopped into his discord (https://[Social group links not allowed]/DDRXmJ9w). and if this is you, i bet you would be deleting any trace of that discord, and every possible linkage there might possibly be to it. but i've already taken screenshots of our entire conversation and even your discord server.
as you can see, i tried joining just now & i took a screenshot, i was banned from the server. ip ban, because i made a dummy discord account and tried joining with the same link.

you can also see that after i joined the discord yesterday (which i made sure to take a screenshot of, just in case, because i was already suspicious of him), only the two of us were online. i took the liberty of checking out some of the people "he's made a transaction" with, and how they vouched for him. there are a lot of flaws with this, actually.
a user named Sanox12 vouched for him. on the third image in the attached imgur, i asked for his epicnpc name, he said it was Sanox12, coincidentally, the same person who posted that, got banned, who is also selling the account, and also the person who vouched for him. so what is this? he vouched for himself?
the other discord users were also dummies, evidently. you could tell from the lack of effort from how they were made. there was only one user who had nitro, but let's not forget that epic games has been giving away free nitro for 3 months. that was the only person who had nitro, who was the last person in the offline list.
the thread that i linked in the first number was marked SOLD, but the same person who has been selling that came to me with an offer for it.

anybody with a brain could tell that this account, Marcus212, was likely an account made by the same person with a VPN & an IP in New Zealand. most people from NZ have legible english, but the way he's talking to me right now makes it seem as if it isn't his first language & it feels like an obvious attempt to put up a farce because he got reported & warned.

given that an admin/mod can likely see this: try joining the discord server for yourself @ https://[Social group links not allowed]/DDRXmJ9w
if you can't, it likely got deleted, which makes him pretty much guilty. but those screenshots were taken yesterday and it would still likely be the same

I am sorry we do not use discord and do not review discord cases. Can you shortly explain what happens there and who is the person from discord?

tldr: i had a "buying" post here and they whispered me. i ended up being skeptical of them since there were many red flags so i looked at their history post and found out that they were vouching for themself, made alts on discord to make themselves seem legit while using epicnpc as a medium for their transactions. my long post elaborates on it but that's the tldr on it. it's likely that they've also scammed someone before, given that they're also banned.

 

[Marcus212]

so you mean this account is a scammer account?
i didn't talk with you before since this morning. And my English is not very good it because is my second language.
I didn't know about this. I'm the buyer who bought the account from the link.

From this guy.

And I was pay for that.

brings in another suspicion. if he had sold the account out to you, then i have a few questions:

1.) do you still have that account?
2.) or did you end up giving back the account & did you get your money back?

it's very suspicious that they're still selling it. if you're indeed not one of his many alts, then we're both equal victims here, given how he's still going around and using your account to scam people.

this also means that your account would likely be at risk given the fact that he's probably got your UID and everything, so there's much more of a risk of it getting banned.

 

[Marcus212]

yes i still have the account.
I change my email and password.
I'm scare that they have know about the UID.

 

[Marcus212]

Sorry because I'm a little bit angry with you

ok. that settles it, then. if you still have the account, then it might be due for a complaint to have the seller IP banned because:

- he's still going around selling the account which is now YOURS.
- he's got your UID so it's a possibility that you might get banned for it if he wanted to.

i'd suggest being careful with it, i apologize for lashing out, but yes, that seems due for concern.

no worries, i'm at fault for getting irritated myself. i dodged a bullet there, but it's better for them to not do it with anyone else. and considering that you're the owner of the account that he is trying to sell, i think you've got the rights to know about it.

the seller also unfriended & blocked me right after i called him out on it, so i wanted to let you know how scummy he is. i don't think it'd be beyond him to try and get you banned or something

 

[Marcus212]

Thank you for everything. I'll careful with that ^^
