as title indicated beware of the mc_market user CapeTown
he also goes by the name "Cintro" (not team cintro)
talked through discord. cintro#7244

requested some premade servers be done within a few days on a Tuesday at 2pm then Tuesday at 4pm, about 12:00am his time since he lives near London. i paid him 55usd to the paypal [email protected]. Wednesday he promised to have the"bulk of it done". we talked a little about server optimization throughout the day till 10am, i then left him alone till around 3pm when i told him "i am off for the rest of the day so i can start receiving some files to start linking sql stuff." dint hear back from him so i sent a message at 12:13am Thursday morning saying id be up in 8 hrs from that message so i can get the bulk of it maybe even have it all done.

i wake up with a message at 10:05am to "im getting the bulk of it done now"
which i replied at 12:40pm "is there anything you can send me, screenshot, hub, creative, like something."
at which he replied with "im not getting off for awhile so ill be sending you some stuff before i get off for the night."
i persisted in asking for at least the hub and creative server which he replied "They're not complete so would be pointless. They're not just simple servers that can be created in 10 minutes unfortunately."
at 1:51pm i asked if there was anything he can show before i got off for a few hrs.
his reply was "I mean, I'm trying to juggle servers because I'm working on one servers so I need to switch out files to work on another. I can hopefully get the completed Hub and Creative Servers to you later today??"
it went on and on Thursday i asked for a refund if he couldn't provide me something by the end of his day on Friday. so 4pm on Friday my time. he assured me at 4:00pm Friday that he would have ALL of it done Saturday and he showed me a prebuilt hub using platinum hub core.

so i waited till Saturday to not here from him till Sunday at 2:45am which he replied that i didn't need to be constantly msging him and he "got busy" i told him at 7am i understood and simply wanted a update. and that i need something because at this point i had something planned in minecraft. i then told him i had already made my own sql server, hub, creative, mode, creative squared mode and a survival mode with essentials and grief prevention and that didnt know a single thing about building a server and had those up overnight and learned that his main account cintro has been banned here on mc-market for similar problems and realized i was probably gunna get scammed to
finished arguing with him back and forth about servers and finally convinced him to send me some random servers with outdated plugins and maybe even some premium ones that i cant confirm because i dont know of a way to pull up the version number. and since i got something in return im not claiming as a scam but wanted to let people know he is using a different name to reach out to people to potentialy scam them.

If he didn’t uphold his end of the deal in anyway and didn’t compensate you for it then yes, you can open a scam report against him.
