I remember this thread being A LOT bigger of an OP? CoinCleaner, did you edit this once you were able to scam someone? You initially had written about knowing Epiks IRL? Pathetic.

Google has it starting like this: Hello all, I personally know epiks and I need to tell you what happened. He has asked me to share this. Some of you knew him and knew he was very well

Hello all,

I personally know epiks and I need to tell you what happened. He has asked me to share this.

Some of you knew him and knew he was very well trusted. He always did honest trades and never once even had a "hiccup" with a transaction.

Point is, he is a good guy.

(This is epiks talking aka Jeff)

Hey guys, during the period where a member (I hope there was only one and not more) got scammed by my account I had been on vacation with my girlfriend. We were in hawaii for two weeks and I didn't even have my computer. I normally spend 14+hrs a day on my computer so I promised my girlfriend (now fiancee) that I would not bring my computer. The vacation would be all about us.

During this period we had her brother house sit for us (my future brother in law)

I came home to find  that my big screen TV was pawned, my nice clothes were gone, my desktop, dedicated server unit, and laptop....ALL GONE.

I didn't file a police report because my fiancee begged me not to.

All my passwords were stored on my computer so he had complete access. So not only did he drain my paypal account, he also was fu**ing around here on my bitcointalk account. He was the one who scammed, not me, aka the real epiks.

HOWEVER, I take complete and full responsibility. Even tho it wasn't myself who did it, I still feel responsible since it was done thru my account and it was my stupid mistakes like leaving his passwords stored that helped him gain access to my accounts.

I want to make this right. If the "epiks" account did you wrong in any way, please contact me at ccphazed@gmail.com

Even tho my paypal is already drained and now limited, hopefully I can make things up to you by eventually returning your money and hopefully a little extra to show my sorrow for what happened.

Again, I did not do the scamming but I take responsibility because it was still done under my name. Something that could have been avoided if I had not stored passwords or left my computer around a known thief (you never think family would steal from you....that was also a mistake to thinkk that)

So please, if you were scammed, contact me at ccphazed@gmail.com, tell me what happened and I;ll try and work things out. I could have just walked away and said f*ck it. But I didn't, my morals would not allow it. I couldn't with a clear conscious let this go unfixed.

Again, mail me all the details and amounts and we will get this fixed. Just please be honest, im hoping a bunch of ppl dont pop up that werent even scammed just looking for a payment. And please be honest with the amounts. I plan on paying back extra, im not rich at the moment but you WILL be paid back in full + extra for the trouble.

PLEASE NOTE* I still do NOT have access to that account (epiks) or the email. So DO NOT trade with him! Do not even respond to him if he contacts you. Its not the REAL epiks. I Can send you a picture of my drivers license showing I'm the real Jeffrey.

so all this is your fault    ?

Maybe. How would you quantify such a thing?

This comment makes me wonder what would it take for you to not be happy with the magazine, pretty or otherwise.
