Title: Has anyone done business with "Epiks"
Post by: it1sasecret on September 19, 2012, 08:21 pm
UPDATE: I don't know if he did it himself or if his vendor privileges got revoked, but he no longer has a seller profile.  I was hoping the fact that he went against the vendor rules could be used as leverage to get him to refund the money or send the package, but if the case is that SR revoked them, it looks like my coins are gone for good.  Do you think they thought about that if that is the case?  Can a seller change his account back to being a buyer or is that something that is done to them?

I expect no pity but i believe i've been scammed.  I don't want to jump the gun on the situation, but here is my experience with him/her so far.

I contacted him/her 7 days ago.  I went ahead and placed the order 6 days ago.  It took him 2-3 days to acknowledge my order, his claim was that he had been in a car wreck.  He told me that he could get it shipped out monday and would be here Tuesday.  In order to do this though he stipulated that SR has a policy to not allow him a chance to offer FE for 3 days,(UPDATE: I FOUND OUT THIS IS IN FACT TRUE AFTER HEARING BACK FROM SR SUPPORT).  He said that he would go ahead and cancel the original order and create a custom listing, then requested that instead of doing it through the SR system, that i just transfer the money(84 btc) to his username.  I went ahead with this, i know looking back it was extremely naive on my part.  In his seller profile he talks about being on point with time and communication and that he will message you after the order has been shipped with what he called a "map", because he ships so stealthly.

I have not heard from him since the transfer and the status of the messages i have sent him remain "unread."  I'm not positive something happened but his premise was that i would be informed every step of the way.

If anyone has done dealings with "Epiks" please let me know any experience you can offer with him.  I've tried searching the forums but nothing comes up under his name.

Thanks, if i sound ignorant, sorry, if you'd like to know any more details or questions please ask.

Forgot to mention, I will update if anything new happens.  That also means if the case is i'm just a complete moron and am over reacting, i will offer an apology and correct any errors made.
