    I paid a fee of $53 to middle man via some prepaid card. Now I am receiving this message:
    Hello,

    We've received your middleman's fee, but there's a two step payment process involved. Which includes (1) being middleman's fee; that has been paid and (2) being service fee. Please submit final service fee of $50, also, you'll be receiving a 100% Cash-Back Bonus, after submitting final fee you'll receive a total payment of $250. Thank you, for your cooperation!

    So there are two service fees that I have to pay and then I receive both back? I also have not seen anything post here so I want to be certain these messages are coming from this website and not a scam. Thank you.

    Your automated reply did not address my concern. Please have a representative reach out directly. I have spent 53 dollars then recieved an email saying I need to buy another gift card. I believe it may be a scam and need clarification. Here is the e-mail I recieved from middleman.

    I sent an e-mail already but I am also posting here.
    Please refund me the 50 dollar fee. I am very unconformable with this process. There is no way I am going to now send you another $50 dollar card (which would put me at $106) to "potentially" get $250. This setup, with the lack of transparency, feels like a Nigerian prince scheme. If my money is refunded I will leave it at that, if not I will be sure to inform other players regarding your customer service policies. Thank you.

    @Dustin Seller

    Do you use K,I,K, Skype, or another messenger service?
    No. All middleman transactions are done through PlayerUp.com for security reasons. Anyone who attempts to contact you through a 3rd party messenger claiming they are us is fraudulent.

    When should I release my account information to the buyer?

    Never release your account information unless (@Middleman) contacts you through the PlayerUp Conversation Ticket System. We will never contact you through e-mail, K,I,K, skype, or any 3rd party service. All middleman transactions are done through PlayerUp.com for security reasons.

    Dispute the payment immediately. This person scammed you.
