grandstar:


Just put money into your savings account

I chatted with their customer care before your response. I was told the account has to be operating for a minimum of 6months before you can apply for card and its $1200 per monthly limit. Did you wait for 6months before applying?

RESHARPENED:


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.

OK Sir, Happy New year in advance

grandstar:


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

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

Please can you shed more light on this

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

RESHARPENED:
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....

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)

nurd:


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?

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?

fergusen:
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'.

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

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.

Just to add even though it's unrelated.

All those using grey & co to recieve funds including payoneer should know that it comes with a risk.

One day, anything can happen & your funds can become stuck & lost forever. You should be aware of that risk & prepare your mind for it.

One way to mitigate this is to use crypto to recieve payout & your dorm acc(they all have their risk)

For old timers, nobody expected libertyreserve to go under but it went down with alot of peoples fund.

Someone posted on Twitter, I can't find the link on this same escrow brouhaha

His own name was even on lease, he had reached out to Epik to cancel the lease & likewise told the buyer to stop making payments. It didn't go down well cos Epik kept making withdrawals

Epik is having serious issues that is beyond all of us, if you are affected, it's painful but you have to wait & see how things unfold.

nurd:


This Tony collided with Epik to hold my $8k since September. I sold a site through epik escrow and this Tony guy was the escrow manager. The guy knew I won't be able to withdraw my money and still approved the escrow. I have have scrrenshot of where I told him to cancel the transaction before the deal was finalized. I even had the buyer do the same. Dude refused and my money (6million) has been stuck since. By the way, I have screenshots because I know some crazy guys will say it's not real.

Let's call spade a spade. Were you expecting Tony to help you because you are a nigerian "his brother"?

Tony is an employee of Epik & most likely acted upon instruction from his paymaster.

I have read similar cases on Twitter even for higher amounts. This is an Epik issue & not Tony issue.

I know at the beginning Tony or someone from Epik was really helping the house, I guess this is what led to see finish & entitlement

Have you read the terms & conditions of epik & its escrow service? Go & read it.

2sexycom:
You Nigerians will always act like slaves.... you took something about your own brother from here to go tell whites because you want to curry favour.

Whoever took the post from here to Namepros, cos no one knew who is branduche except Nigerians from Nairaland, e no go better for you . I will refund the money and take down the post.

I hate when people can't use their brain. This is why iCauseTrouble and others have left this thread cos a lot of you here are idiots.

Boss. Abeg do a screenshot of the namepros post.

I don't see anything wrong in your offer!! Epik is having issues with master bucks & not domain registration. I recently registered about 5names there.

If anyone is into domaining & doesn't know what is happening to Epik & also know what to do with that info ought not to be into domaining.

If you don't understand something or aren't willing to take the risk, you stay clear of it. Nigerians already has a bad image why go to namepros to give more room for ridicule?

If your outbound is from 8pm, this is after business hours for americans. i will hazard a guess that most of your mails are sent to the decision makers

temitopteas:

it's not about having premium one word(s).
domain names like Sewing \ Craft and \club was a testimony here and even some three worder still earns some reasonable amount of $$ so far it has what it takes to earn.

please enlighten us, what does it take for a domain to earn? what are the stats to look out for

BusinessHub1:

Quite sad I missed out cos of my poor judgement.

Don't beat yourself up, happens to the best in the industry too. Guess what your judgement call is being sharpened.

Sometimes, the names you will beat your chest & say will sell in record time, names that ticks all the boxes will be gathering dust in the marketplce, it is the one you regretted buying, the one you least expect that will sell

I'm seeing so many paths here i dont know how which to take. Can anyone put me through please. I don't mind multiple opinions from the bosses in the house. Thanks y'all

You said you are seeing so many paths & don't know which to take and at the very same time, you are asking for multiple opinions from the bosses

Isn't that contradictory?

Contact the OP for training BUT you must read this thread if you want to make headway.

Hello, I'll like to know why. Thanks.

Makes it look unprofessional & spammy

Amotolongbo:
to start with, have you ever been outside Nigeria before.

My family was in the same shoes with this OP last year.
I was outside Nigeria while my spouse was in Nigeria before coming to join me 3months after. He never never felt like this OP at anytime I was here.

Please lock your fingers!

You said your husband never felt like this OP, Did you behave in the same manner in which the OP wife behaved ?

Na from clap them dey enter dance, its common knowledge that in UK, folks mind their business so its surprising that while she was on a video call, a random black dude looked into her phone to see who she was calling, same random black dude attends same church with the lady and the lady is also pressing for housing reference from the OP friend for this same random man.

She pulled this same man into a conversation with her husband, courtesy demands you not only notify but you seek consent before adding people to conversations.

While its premature to say she is cheating but her actions does call for consign.

onlinestaff2020:


I've an email bomber that you can customize the following:

1. Name of email sender
2. Reply to
3. Heading/Title

It can bomb 500 - 1000 email addresses at once and it delivers to inbox.

You can use email extractor lite 4 or 6 to filter the email addresses as you want.

You can even schedule the bombing time.

It will last for one person for long but do not share it in order not to reduce its strength.

That is what gee men uses to bomb their clients and they get replies.

It's N5k last.

Chat me on WhatsApp: 0**8**1**3**4**1**9**8**7**9**5

We dont "Bomb" clients here

We send outbound mails.

Dtruth073:


Attached is the mail boss

1. I can see you are living up to your name by acting as a rebel, bombarding her with messages within a short time

2. 1st and 2nd mail, you said its .us, 3rd email you said its .com. Biko, which is it?

3. I suspect she is has the .com, hence her statement of "I am the owner"

lastly, I dont really see a .com owner buying a .us name(there are exceptions to this but for a small business, it is a No)

Dtruth073:
Good day my boss, received this from my end user I don't understand what she meant��

i’m sorry don’t know what this email is about what price i’m the owner explain! The domain I outbound is SpaHire dot us

Even we dont understand you.

Do a screenshot or quote what the enduser wrote. Your outbound mail might also help

sotall:
Why manhandling him?

These prison officials are not properly trained to respect prisoners under their care.

I didn't see any attempt to escape there

Even if he attempted to run, he had already been subdued. Why the slaps?

The Nigerian law enforcement does not have premium on human life, no iota of human dignity.

Same applies to most Nigerians, instead of asking why he was assaulted, they will ask why did he attempt to run?

Yankee101:
As a lawyer, remember you're not above the law

From the message he seems to have been clearly rude to the judge

And she wouldn't be disrespected in her own court just cos you're one high flying lawyer. Of course she should follow due process too in remanding him

lets assume he was rude, how is it justice for him to serve 1 month in prison?

This is the same thing the military does to civilians, just because someone was rude or bash their car etc They are subjected to dehumanizing conditions.

babaolofin:


I understand you and your plight. Lastman monitoring team is the worst. They work with those BRT police task force. My point is this, no matter whom you are, once you are caught violating Law, just be humble and be diplomatic . Falana is in Lagos and many other SANs, We have Judges serving & retired, We have Generals serving & retired. There is a level you get to in life and in public service that people follow your footsteps. You cannot break law and still claim you are above the law because of societal status or profession. We must be careful.

How do you keep your cool when you know that the law enforcer is going outside the provision of the law & endangering your life in the process?

You break the law, you are supposed to face the penalty spelt out by that law but the Nigerian police will tell you they are the law & will do to you however they seem fit which most times are a violation of your rights. How do you keep your cool?

The govt does not want to refine the process, they create loopholes for corruption to fester. With BVN/NIN I see no reason why traffic tickets/fines won't work. Tie drivers license + vehicle licence to BVN/NIN, you get a ticket, you either pay within a tineframe or go dispute the fine in court, if you fail to do so your account is either blocked or your car is impounded when next you are driving.

Everyone will sit up, bribe solicitation will reduce or become non existent. Why should my entire day be ruined because I beat traffic light or made a wrong turn? Collect ticket & go your way

Crime prevention is better they say but not with our police. They won't signal you not to turn or enter, once you enter they pounce on you

Splitmind:
Don't rush to attack the policemen, instead ask what the man did to provoke him.

Please can you give 2 scenarios that will justify the actions of this policeman?

Kindly give an example of what someone can do that will justify being beaten by any law enforcement agent

chigoizie7:


And that is what seun was talking about. If you read my previous post , you will understand that we are on the same page. Ofcourse if police dropped a ticket on my shield, I would throw them away. Because I know that even if I don’t pay, they will not be able to find me. However, FRSC should do a better job at holding motorists accountable. I am a full blooded obidient. These are so many changes we need in naija.

That's why government should strengthen institutions. If vehicle license is linked to BVN/NIN, that will be a game changer.

If you don't pay fine or go to court to defend your self, your account is blocked or the money is automatically deducted. People will sit up.


We don't need magic wand to solve our problems, there are so many innovations that will set us on the right track but our politicians are not thinking & they prefer this mess we are in.

Imagine that gun went off, A whole human being, a father would have died just because of traffic violation.

The Nigerian government does not have value for the life of its citizens.

IdeasPro:

My Oga, I need this clarification from you. I thought your own domain listed at domain sellers marketplace at Squadhel.p has a maximum price tag of 40 percent of retail price. I see you mention "no limit." I want to clarify in case I am missing something

Thanks for pointing that out, yes you are to list below 40% of the retail BIN price. I also forgot to mention that there is a 5% SH fee for names sold on the wholesale market.

edogu:

Please can you explain further on the bolded words?

my personal opinion, same applies to P2P transactions

BDC moves lots of cash, you never can tell which of them is on a watchlist. transacting with anyone on a watchlist also means you might become a person of interest too. it may happen or may never happen.

Some persons have had issues with law enforcement due to P2P transactions. Stolen funds being used to purchase USDT or naira. you know its time & finance consuming to get yourself out of police issues in Nigeria even when you are a victim or completely innocent.

Thanks to Meffy, you cant do without P2P
