are you referring to me? I didn't create any whatsapp group o. The one I belong to does not have foreigners. If you see foreign numbers there, na Nigerians wey get US numbers. I used to have a US number but not anymore.

Oh definitely not you, your post about taking matters here elsewhere reminded me of it. I only saw a few foreign domainers on twitter mention that the Nigerian domain whatsapp group helps them a lot

Add your Dom account on Dan and Afternic, collect payout and use it to buy domains and renewals. Also withdraw FX over the counter. Thanks

Why would i go through this long process when I can just fund my virtual card and buy names.

Boss I was thinking bank can help you fund your domiciliary account using thier rate like uba is $460. Using naira cash deposit. Is it possible.?

HIScraziness:


All platforms have different rates but it’s still the black market rate. Same rate you’d be funding your Dom card with. Chipper, Geeg pay, Grey are good platforms

The best way is to receive money into the dorm account from marketplace,then you can buy domain with your card and withdraw funds from there when the need arise.
The only problem I have is a getting a reference,I only have one reference.

Has GT not also stopped allowing it's customers to use dorm cards to carry out transactions online? I saw someone complain a few weeks ago on Twitter

Well I don't know about that, but I don't think they can stop that except they only want us to use the virtual card at high rates.

Next year by June, some sanity should return. Buhari would be gone.

He has been meddling in the fx market ever since he assumed office and that's why the fx market is in a total mess.

All the 3 leading presidential contestants have promised to allow things to go back to the way it was pre-Buhari.

Na end of the year sales i wan see , na end of the year vawuleeence i dey see here. na wa o....

But in reality, if someone $8k get stuck for weeks and no sign of progress to withdrawal it in this dry sales period, wont that person be mad? Haba, for a so called reputable firm like that. If its a nigerian company like geegpay or grey did that, we would have escalated it here and everyone will be calling for their head and bring them down? Its shows us our mentality as a black man.
Remember, this sale would have been denied and the owner would have moved it to dan or godaddy for alternative transactions. Why proccess something you know right within you , that the owner wont get pay? Why?
I am sure epik would have gotten their own commission and will be able to withdrawal their own commission easily.... but the main sales still get stuck?
Make una reason am na.
$8k is not a childs play. I dont want to talk of the stress to even sell such name and the anticipated joy after sale only for your money to get stuck. thats total fuc,k up.

Nawaooo!!. Emifiele na mad manooo. Na zenith and UBA be our hope.nw

It's not his fault. Buhari, is meddling in fixing the exchange rate and that's why there's a massive disparity between the official rate and black market.

Buhari feels devaluation is caused by wicked economists and indiscipline in general. He does not understand that the ultimate decider of the exchange rate are market forces and not economists.

That is why under him, the exchange rate has never reflected market value.

5.7 million no be child's play, make we no just blame the guy. We dont know the hardwork and sweat behind that 8k.

Epik is currently unstable. It would be pure WICKEDNESS for anyone to recommend another domainer to use epik at the moment. Even if ICANN has structures in place to protect your domains, that doesn't mean everything will be smooth & straightforward in the event that epik 'dies'.

nurd:

He, as a Nigerian, should have stopped working with epik when he knows epik is owing dozens of people money and won't pay subsequent customers. And if he decides to work with them, that's his problem.

I guess this will teach you how life works. Tony should have stopped working because Epik is owing, are you the one that will feed him and pay his bills? what will happen IF epik finally resolves all this? will you give him another job? you clearly stated that if he decides to work for them, that is his problem, why are you complaining?

While I acknowledge that your money is big but you made it a Tony problem instead of an Epik problem

I dont have the full knowledge of whats going on with Epik or if they will survive this. they may or may not. The new CEO has said that domainers are not their core customer and this speaks volumes. Hope for the best that you will be able to get your money out.

IF you are making reference to the post that triggered all of this then There is no wickedness to be factual and there was also no need to put any disclaimer on that initial post.

Its a simple case of passing on if someone doesnt have any interest in the offer. I will consider it wickedness if this was coming maybe a day after epik issues became known but Epik issues has been ON for months and the offer was publicly placed here and not sent to newbies privately. This shows there was no ulterior motives.

Finally, it was not a recommendation. It was an offer.

I dont know Tony or Branduche, neither have I had any dealings with 2Sexy. We should call things as they are

Not just the trigger post, but the subsequent posts that tried to trivialise the current situation at Epik.
There's a thread on namepros about the current situation at Epik that's 142 pages long, I have read every single post on that thread!
So I speak from credible facts that have so far being unearthed.

Ode nie.

All you wrote won't change anything. I know you'll defend him. Why didn't you go and tell your family to buy the domains so you can pay him $100? So you are finding a way for him to withdraw his own money meanwhile he is part of the cause of others getting their money stuck?

Were nie se!

Fine. I'm not the only one affected. Why did you come here to advertise their service again? At least people know what you are up to now and they can decide for themselves.

Oponu ni e...

I have a slot there as well and I am the first... registering domains at Epik has no problem. It is selling domains that has problems, to which there are many options. I have stopped selling domains at Epik and now use Dan.com, which still require that I transfer domains from Epik to Dan's account.

If not that you are foolish, you would have known that there are certain things beyond the control of staff within a company. How you expected the guy whose name you called to be in control of the decision of executive within the company is beyond me. It is like going to meet customer care staff in a Bank over the decision of top executive of the said bank.

Go and meet Rob Monster... or what are you waiting?

It is not wickedness oga... I still have my domain names at Epik. What I expect some of you do is find out what is really happening.

But you didn't bother. In summary: Rob messed up and they have hijacked his company. He is fighting to get back his company as we speak. That is the cause of this whole mess.

Now, how is that BrandUche's fault? HOW? He is just furking staff... he does not make decisions at the company.

The person he is trying to even destroy has double that amount locked... U think this is child's play? An ex staff even had her own, $20K that was supposed to be her hard work wiped... the problem is masterbuck, not even domain registeration.

You can register domain names at Epik but do not sell through them...

I think you are very reasonable. And thank you for that. If you look at my first post, you'll see I wasn't going to disparage anyone. I simply sounded an alarm for people who may not already know about what's happening at epik. But then had to reply to some unrefined replies.

And besides, I'll never agree it isn't a Tony problem and I won't repeat what I've said before. If you look at several of the complaints on Trustpilot, you'll see many people mentioning Tony for the role he played. So I don't think I'll my share experience without mentioning him.

Also, I still genuinely want to know why he continues to work with epik when he knows people aren't getting paid. I simply don't get it. He could easily get job elsewhere if he wanted to.

>>you clearly stated that if he decides to work for them, that is his problem, why are you complaining? Why won't I complain? Epik stated in their TOS that an escrow transaction can be canceled. Why didn't he cancel it when I asked him to? Did epik force him?

See where I'm going now?

Thank you jare. At least anyone that have eyes will not say they are not warned.

The KEY question remains:

If the offer was so innocuous, why didn't brand.uche post it himself?

Why would he need a gofer to post on a free public forum?
Plus, why rescind the offer?

The fact is he deserves EVERYTHING he gets and much more.
People who think otherwise know little about what's going on at Epik.

First off, he never bothered to warn people here, or anywhere for that matter, when Epik started to withhold funds.

Neither did he show up here during the emergency "maintenance" of masterbucks.

Plus, someone accused Tony of convincing him to conduct a $70K transaction via Epik when he knew that the payout would be withheld.

He deserves EVERYTHING he gets.

And the person who took it to Namepros is JUSTIFIED in doing so. People need to know that the employees of the evil company that caused so much pain to so many people are getting their breakfasts from Lady Karma.

By the way, the "our brothers matters" schtick is lame.
Lay the F off!

Edited: He has a lot more money stuck....

There is no guarantee he can easily get another job elsewhere and as for him remaining with Epik, its entirely up to him.

He doesnt owe an explanation why he is being there. Morality and business does not mix, if you choose to be moral, it doesnt mean someone else will.

As for cancellation, I dont know if the escrow had already been completed by the time your cancellation instruction came in. either which way, the company already had issues with payouts and from most complaints I have read, no domainers complaints or instructions have been attended to by Epik since this whole thing started.

If Tony had resigned. Another staff would have still screwed you over(See why its an Epik problem)

Out of curiousity, why didnt you use DAN, Godaddy or Escrow to process this transaction?

Edited: He has a lot more money stuck....

1.You arent being objective. if there was ulterior motive, his name would never have come up in the post

2. He is an empolyee of Epik, and not the relationship manger/account officer for nairaland domaining thread/community so therefore He does not owe this thread any warnig, Epik's issue is not hidden, it didnt take years for it to become open

So anybody claiming not to know whats going on with Epik, proves the person doesnt read, research and is not part of a domaining community.

3. By your edited post, having found out his own money is stuck there too, you are happy(That speaks volumes)

virtual cards or using exchanger's services to fund your account. Even when it was working, was it not only $20 monthly spending limit? There must always be alternatives.

Get a providus bank card. It has a $1,000 monthly.

Note: It uses the black market rate. It's what I use

therealMcCain:

You're an intelligent person. Don't defend rubbish.

This is you conceding that Tony screwed the guy over. And he's just one among many.

Also despite the fact that Epik is a legal and separate entity, it is still essentially a group of people running a business. The company is not some mythical creature summoned out of the abyss. It is still people.

And...

Tony CHOOSES to remain one of those people.

He deserves no pity, sympathy or aid from here the same way no politician in the Nigerian government does not.

What is the card called or what type, saw different ones on their website couldnt find something close to this

1. Is the card tied to your savings account

2. how do you fund the card

I get you. The instruction came in before the transaction completion. Even the buyer messaged him the same and he clearly refused. I dont want to post screenshot that really implicated him.

Im not really a domainer. So i didnt know those other options were available to me. The default for us site sellers is to use an escrow service. But since escrow.com don't accept Nigerians, I defaulted to epik. It was after the debacle I came across the likes of DAN.com and that's what I'll be using going forward.
