DISPUTE Information

What is the dispute about? Was purchasing a CSGO knife from him.
Link of transaction thread: https://www.epicnpc.com/threads/1082573-Knives-Skins-amp-Keys-Repped-80-Market-Price
Approximate value of property: $90.00 USD

Was a middleman used?
If yes, who? No
Provide information about the dispute and what lead to it: I was purchasing a knife from cw1 that he was going to purchase and re-sell to me. I trusted him due to his 25 positives and his forum moderator status so I went first. After I sent the money, he removed me from steam and admitted to scamming me through PM on EpicNPC.

Scamming on EpicNPC shouldn't be your go-to method when you cannot afford your medical expensives. There's government assistance, benefits and ect help for you. This will not be tolerated.

Thank you Akane.

I would advise EpicNPC to check its moderators to make sure this doesn't happen from a "staff" member again, but I really appreciate the quick and severe justice <3

There's currently restrictions for Super Moderators that will not allow us to take action. We'll have to wait for Admin to be made aware of this thread. I would recommend no one to start any future transactions with cw1.

A bank claim has been issued on this payment. Will update the admins/mods as to what happens with the payment.

Have reached out to the buyer for a refund, and although he has rejected, if he issues one I will update as well.

 

[doomedtofail]

Really not sure how this is worth it but unfortunately this is growing pains whenwe add staff

CW1 has been banned. All mods are carefully reviewed by me. We only select members that have been long term members with good feedback. However this does not guarantee they won't scam in the future. We've banned 3-4 mods over the years and I'm sure this won't be the last one.

Good luck with your bank dispute.
