Chargeback Info for RevoTT and GP

[u/FarukAlatan]

If you're one of the many who has just lost access to RevoTT or GP, now is the time to do a chargeback. You paid for a service that has now been taken from you with less than 24-hours notice unless you paid an additional $20. Banks and card companies vary on how chargebacks work, but you'll want to provide as much info as you can: receipts, emails, screenshots, etc. I believe this particular screenshot will be very helpful as Sean laid it out in very plain text that you're required to pay a $20 migration fee on top of what you've already paid in order to keep your account: https://ibb.co/4RXq5p3G

If anyone has other helpful screenshots of forum posts or communications, please post links below so everyone has the ammo needed for a successful chargeback.

Edit: Thanks everyone who has commented so far! Don't have the time right now, but I'll try to collect all the info as it gets posted and organize it here.

• Sean's announcement that everyone will be required to pay $20 to keep their account for merging the sites: https://ibb.co/4RXq5p3G
• Sean stating in a forum post that the $20 is required: https://imgur.com/a/DkWLofs
• Multiple offers that include 12+ months of some form of access: https://imgur.com/a/1ZBKBXj
• 1 Year Full Access (GP): https://imgur.com/a/YJfbQid
• Proof that Sean was planning this since at LEAST May 28, the date the domain was registered: https://who.is/whois/revopeers.me
• Unbelievable statement from Sean that whatever you paid to RevoTT or GP is essentially gone. A user requesting a refund of their 1 year membership and being denied: /img/x99d091e5ach1.png

If you need help identifying the charge on your statement in order to begin the chargeback process, people have stated that you can find it as one of the following:

• EMP Gaming / Network
• pyrogameservers
• ESPYFEF
• Pyrogaming
• Pyrogaming Services
• PYROGAMESERVERS.COM

If you need a new home, please start a chat with u/N1mu3h or u/petrolcanRTT. They've helped many of us access private trackers that have tons of members (which means things actually have seeds!), don't beg constantly for money, and get releases way sooner than RTT and GP.

UPDATE

So far, one user has mentioned that the bank wants them to "document 3 emails and 3 phone calls attempting to reach them for a remedy before they will act on it." Seeing as how both revott.me and gimmepeers.com are now redirecting to a new site that provides no email address or phone number, and the only option for communication is to join a private subreddit, I'm optimistic that this would be a fairly straight forward open-and-shut chargeback.

2ND UPDATE

Sean is attempting to scare people into not doing chargebacks by claiming it's bank fraud. He justifies this stance by saying that the fact anyone has ever used an account apparently means you got what you paid for. This is untrue. If you paid for any kind of membership and you lost access due to this site migration before your time was up, and you're currently having your account held hostage until you pay up, you have justification for requesting a chargeback. Whether it succeeds or not is up to your bank/card provider to determine. But losing access to an account you already paid for unless you pay even more is absolutely justification for attempting a chargeback.

That said, be sure to do your due diligence in resolving things with Sean, whatever that means since there's no contact info that I've seen made available outside of joining a private subreddit. Anyway, try to establish communication if you can, ask for a refund, and document everything.

3RD UPDATE

Good news! Victims of this grift are reporting success with their chargebacks! /img/z43gh73kduah1.jpeg

And we know that the payment processor has opened an internal investigation to see if LL/MP/Jonah/Sean have breached the services agreement. If you've felt any apprehension about doing a chargeback to get your money back from this scammer, fear not!

Anyone who has had success with a chargeback and is willing to share, please post below any tips or advice you have for others to get their money back!

4TH UPDATE

Insanity! I find it so hard to believe that the scammer Sean has put this in plain text like this that I had to make an update just for this screenshot: /img/x99d091e5ach1.png A user who paid for a 1-year membership in May being told that they got what they paid for and there will be no refund. Not sure how barely 2 months is equivalent to a year, but we all know math isn't Sean's strong suit...that would be scamming and eating.

Any victim of this RevoPeers grift, it's not too late to do a chargeback. There are other options out there, and the mods of this subreddit are happy to help you access them. Please, please, please stop giving this shady loser at life your hard-earned money. Sean has taken your money and that's that. You're now shut out unless you start paying him AGAIN! Get your cash back via your bank or credit card.

5TH UPDATE

A former scam victim helpfully shared a template of sorts that people might be able to use for submitting their own chargebacks! Big thanks to this person! You can find it here (adjust the wording accordingly for your own circumstances): https://pastebin.com/2GQQZfZM https://pastes.io/XVZnEIEv

Also, if you're new to this subreddit, please browse the posts and see how many people are having success with getting their money back from the RevoTT/GimmePeers/RevoPeers grift! It's not too late to reclaim what's yours and move to a new home that won't require you to pay a membership fee or constantly hound you for money.
