CAI have $2k stuck in this Masterbucks More like Masterf****. I have $2k USD apparently stuck in this, sold the domain through Epik.com they then sent the money to this Masterbucks. So far I have sent two emails and no one has answered in 8 days, is this some state-funded money laundering operation! Give me my money or I will find you.

GBEpik's Masterbucks stole my money, now hoping to hear of class action lawsuit Although Rob Monster's habit of polluting business interactions with his personal imaginings was offputting, because of their low domain renewal fees for large-portfolios I transferred my 1000+ domains into Epik in 2021. Shortly after, Epik was hacked and I started getting frequent notices from my security software that my contact data is out there. (Prior to the hack, that never happened.) I sold numerous domains through Epik in 2021-2022. No problem getting the money to owed me through their "escrow" company "Masterbucks." Sold a domain March 29, 2023, and as of June 14, 2023 I am still waiting for payment. I have unparked my domains and removed any "for sale" settings. Masterbucks won't reply to any emails, no matter how often you write. Now their email comes back as undeliverable. When you email Epik about Masterbucks, the Epik staff say "we'll make sure they see your email." I am hoping to hear of a class action action lawsuit... as are many other commenters on a variety of domain industry boards. Since early April, I've been transferring my domains over to another much more reputable registrar, and I suggest any other Epik customers do the same.

ITEpik/Masterbucks.com stole us US$1.5M (July 2023 update) STAY AWAY FROM ROB MONSTER, BRIAN ROYCE & THEIR COMPANIES EPIK /MASTERBUCKS IF YOU CARE ABOUT YOUR MONEY AND ASSETS You may have already read somewhere about this 'horror story'. Epik/Masterbucks stole us US$1.5M by not allowing us to withdraw our funds (old story). Recently both portals have been acquired by a new company but PAY ATTENTION because this's just the beginning of a new bigger scam era ! We were sure to recover our funds due to the recent acquisition so we hired an attorney who approached them by asking for a full refund of our credit. After few days of silence, they replied to have never had any business relationship either with me (Luigi M. Vigna) nor with my company DomainEmpire Ltd so asked to cease and desist with these fake accusations. Simultaneously, they've smartly terminated our 4 accounts to leave no tracks about our credit on their servers but they did a terrible mistake here because we had already saved a screenshot of our full account statements (either our Epik/Masterbucks accounts). We're now making these screenshots available to the general public (you'll soon find them for free everywhere online with more details about the full story). We're doing this with the best intentions to stop these scammers activity once for all in the interest of all domainers and to send both companies to bankruptcy as quickly as possible. Let everyone knows about this story because they're continuing to steal money from hundreds of unaware domainers every month ! They're working hard to build a new fake scenario around these companies to continuing with their fraudolent activity so it's of cricual importance working together to stop this fraud. They're still stealing any single cent they can from all new new customers so we should cooperate together in our mutual interest to stop this long time scam forever.

GBCan't get a straight answer from Epik… Can't get a straight answer from Epik or Masterbucks They are holding my money from a Domain Name sale. The money is not theirs to hold for weeks. The funds should be in an escrow account and sent to me once the buyer recieved the domain name. The buyer got domain name same day of sale and the funds should have been sent to me the same day. Sad they are doing this, not returning emails and they do not answer calls. All a big run around scheme. Masterbucks never responded to any emails.
