Heads up sellers. I tried to sell an account and got scammed. It took me a while to recover the account. Here is the scammers game play. They talk to you first on EPICNPC message then get you to go to discord then link to a Facebook a middleman page. MARKETPLACE BUY SELL ALL OF GAME ACCOUNT & CRYPTO CURRENCY Sergio Alcaraz. (Looks like he is based out of Singapore.) They have you fill out a form to try and make it look legit, but the form is armature and obviously a screen. (The only reason I kept going at this point is because I was sure I could recover my account if they tried to steel it.) Once you make the transaction, the middleman has your account, and his payment to you through PayPal suddenly won't work. Then he tries to get your bank account information. I stopped at that point. Then after giving them three days to get his PayPal account right, they deleted all communications and tried to keep my account. I got the same scam today. I figured it was going the same way and sure enough one of his soldiers posted the same page. I said nope. Middleman through EpicNpc only. As soon as I said that he deleted all communication and the link to Sergio Alcaraz

Anyone else have anything to say in regard to him? A few people contacted me mentioning the group and it seems pretty big and has a decent amounts of posts so I’m wondering if it’s possibly a bad experience. Or everyone who has used him has it

It looks like a lot of those profiles are fake. If you take a closer look most of them don't even have pictures or background info. Multiple people who worked for him contacted me about buying accounts. Most scammer organizations have groups of people working it. It would only take a day for a room full of people to create an account like that. It's not just a bad experience they all try to lure you away from this website and get to his. Same routine every time. Get the seller to his page get their account and oh no he is having paypal problems. Then they try to get your bank account information because paypal isnt working. I dinn't do that so then they deleted and blocked all FB communications while keeping your account.

Report the individual / group to Facebook. After a certain amount of reports, I believe it triggers a review on their end.
