Scammed by impersonator offsite

[Internomad]

This was an off-site impersonation scam. MGM79 from Epicnpc was not involved.

Here is a link to our first chat, https://www.epicnpc.com/chat/?type=inbox&group=3063631
Here is a second link where he denies all knowledge of our deal

The value of the item is $453.70

Date problem began is 27th July 2023

There is a screenshot in the first chat link showing proof of payment

The problem is that this guy, MGM79 has scammed me into paying for an account and then the next day denies all knowledge of it. I'm sure that if you read our conversations closely you will see him as the scammer he is.

Can you please show the screenshot of the email where you sent money to? (Assuming it was PayPal or something similar)

 

[MGM79]

I have already reported to EpicNPC staff about this. Someone was/is impersonating me. I never contact people outside of EpicNPC.

 

[MGM79]

By the way, how can I upload my only conversation with him here on EpicNPC? And I can’t check that link above.

 

[MGM79]

This very much looks to me a hate/envy attempt now because on the same day he attacked another guy on the same ESO accounts section. You can see that by looking at his latest activity.

 

[Internomad]

He is lieing and I have proved it.

 

[Internomad]

Screenshot, as requested.

 

[MGM79]

I don't use paypal and don't know who is this Ashley Paz. Show me where did you contact this person, full conversation transcript. I only talk to people here first to confirm so I don't know what are you trying to achieve here. Either you have been a victim of impersonation or just have other agendas.

 

[MGM79]

I can show my government issued passport to EpicNPC staff just to prove that this is not me by the way. Again, either you have been a victim of impersonation (need to see all the conversations that you still haven't shown) or just trying to achieve something that I haven't figured out.

 

[SaltnVinegar]

I need to see the email it was sent to please.

 

[Internomad]

What email? I sent the money through PayPal. I was given this to send it to by MGM79

MGM79- Thursday at 6:42 PM​

• @Pazz13x , when you send remember to select f&f

 

[MGM79]

Who is Pazz13x?

 

[Internomad]

And as I'm sure you know, he asked for it to be sent Family and Friends as Paypal cannot dispute a transaction sent that way. This is something I was not aware of until I spoke to a PayPal agent on the phone.

 

[MGM79]

Did you bother to check with who you are talking to? Check profile you just linked, someone was impersonating me like I suspected from the beginning.

 

[Internomad]

Seriously, you are asking who is @pazz13x when it clearly shows it's you replying in our conversation.

 

[MGM79]

Look at that profile please, do you see that this person created a new account on Thursday with the same name like mine?

 

[Internomad]

I will not converse with you anymore, it is in the hands of EPICNPC, they can clearly see the whole conversation.

 

[MGM79]

Let the moderator log in so he can explain to you. Someone was indeed impersonating me.

 

[MGM79]

To point out to you, here is a link to my profile:

And this is the profile that you just showed of the person that was impersonating me:

WARNING! Off-site contact information posted. Most scams occur off-site. Please contact members directly via EpicNPC chat. We do not investigate disputes if you communicate off-site.

You showed your hand when once you saw I had sent the money you didn't correspond with me for over 24 hours, and only spoke to me when I messaged you on Discord, something you asked me to do right from the start, even though I asked you to do it through Trade Guardian.

 

[Internomad]

Well done in making a fake profile.

 

[MGM79]

How do you not understand that someone was impersonating me, this is a different person. He doesn't even have ESO listing created!

 

[Internomad]

I'm done with this, PayPal will make sure you don't get the money, so I am happy with that, they have also taken action on your account.

 

[MGM79]

I don't use nor have paypal and that is not me, I understand your anger but you are a victim of impersonation. You didn't check with who you were talking to.

 

[SaltnVinegar]

Please stick to using onsite chat and use TG to protect yourself from these types of scams.

Moving to off-site scammers.

 

[Internomad]

I asked him to use Trade Guardian, but he refused!!

I have now lost £367.12 that being a Pensioner I can ill afford to lose.
