    New Policy Changes
    - Effective immediately, any advertisement listings in the Castle Clash, Clash of Clans and Game of War section will be removed if it doesn't contain enough details. If the individual posts a second time, a warning or possible suspension may happen.

    - This means that if you just post your Kik or post very little details asking for people to contact you on Kik, it will be removed and a possible warning or suspension may occur.

    - All members will receive the same canned response: "This message is to inform the seller that the following account listing has been "removed" as it doesn't reach our standard quality advertisement guidelines. In order to fix this issue, please put the effort into actually detailing what you're selling/trading by providing account details, payment information and/or pictures. Thank you."

    - It's time we bring quality to PlayerUp and those who actually put the effort into detailing what they're selling are the only ones you should be doing business with.

    its good that you didnt fall for it, but why blame keith Aichele?

    What makes you think it was him? He has a very good reputation here and I highly doubt he would do such a thing.

    Just remember to follow the system and you'll have no issue:

    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, kik, skype, or any 3rd party service. All middleman transactions are done through PlayerUp.com for security reasons.

    How does it work?
    1). Sellers create and post middleman buy now listings (click here)
    2). Buyer clicks on buy now listing and completes payment
    3). We verify and secure the buyers payment
    4). We create a 3 way conversation ticket with the Buyer and Seller
    5). We inform the Seller which specific account information they need to release to the Buyer
    6). During this process, we will communicate and guide both the Buyer and Seller.
    7). Buyer secures and verifies the account
    8). Payment is then disbursed to the Seller

    The part that they're missing here is that they want you to do Step #5 before Step #4. That's when you know it's a scam. The 3 way ticket must be opened first. If @Middleman doesn't open it, then you know it's a scam.
