Stay Far Away From Epik Escrow Service If You Don't Want To Lose Your Money

[Phonefic]

Just to warn some of you that intend using Epik for anything, especially their escrow service. STAY FAR AWAY from this scammers called Epik.

I recently completed a website transaction using their escrow service, but up till this moment, this company has refused to pay my money.

The customer service team are bunch of liars. When you contact them for update about your fund, these people will assure you that you will receive your fund within an hour. Hours turned to days, days to weeks... yet no one is giving you the actual situation on ground.

I have sold a couple of sites through Epik in the past but I don't know why they are behaving like this.

TonyBlessed and many of the CS staffs now snub my tickets, and I heard the company now has a new CEO.

The founder, Rob assured me last week that I was going to get my money within a day, now it is getting to a month and none of them are replying my tickets.

Many people are complaining of the same thing, so it is better you stay clear off the company for now. The funny part is that when you bring an escrow deal now, they will gladly proceed and collect the fund from the buyer, but to pay you becomes a problem.

People considering Epik for escrow might want to look into whether Epik are actually licensed to do that - there was an informative discussion of that on here before https://www.namepros.com/threads/if...-wasting-time-and-money.1119508/#post-7079286

Does this explain why they are holding on to people's fund for weeks without any cogent reason?

To many threads on same topic. We (nameprös)need epik subforum and sav and xyz but lets start with epïk

Didnt epik scrap it out with dude from escrow.com here at namepros few years back regarding escrow and blah blah blah.

I can't get my money.

Masterbucks maintenance cannot cause non-payment of money.

What do they say when you chat. I mean, you should give it a try. They will say "they will escalate it", at worst. And you can bother them again if not fixed.

I didn't have a problem (as far as I know) with their escrow service, but I didn't try to withdraw money, so my situation is different.

Epik has some bugs, some intentional, some accidental.

I suspect they have some financial troubles. Today it is not possible to register domains. You can pay to register domains, but they won't register, and may even forget to issue refunds for some. Previously the same happened with renewals. Maybe they think they would get away with it, and raise some cash to keep things going. I bet they lost lots of money in cryptos. This is why they are trying crazy/unethical things, like hiding buyer info.

This is what I thought but they are using it as excuse to delay our money

Hmmm! Whenever I chat with them, they keep telling me that I will receive my money soon or that masterbucks cashout is first come first serve. Same old story everytime you chat them up

Can they name the number in the queue?
They also wrote to me
" the volume of requests is very high"

 

[Phonefic]

I don't know what you mean by "number in the queue" but that their constant excuses is very bad. They are just hiding information and they don't have concrete answer to when the company will pay people.

 

[Igor Gabrielan]

If there is a payout queue, then everyone must have a queue number, and the queue must move over time.

Nothing like payout queue. Atleast, they have not told me about that. All they keep mumbling about is first come, first serve. And I do chat them daily.

 

[Igor Gabrielan]

First Come, First Served is a queuing method. And since there is a queue, then everyone has a number in this queue, and it should decrease over time.

Nonsense. They should be able to send money to all at the same time and immediately. If not, this means, they are using your money for a different purpose.

Btw, buyers don't need to be worried. Only sellers affected.

It is only affecting sellers, I guess. Nothing has been paid to me till today. Getting to a month now.
