    I sent a based confirmed to [email protected]. How do I know if I was scammed or not. The seller said he went through you guys and the payment should be sent to me 1-3 days. Is this true?

    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.

    Do you use KiK, 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.

    Answering your question, how do you know if you were scammed or not? Answer is you were scammed.

    It's a common scam that people try to portray themselves as PlayerUp by e-mail or Kik. We can't stop it. We do our best to warn people posting in multiple sections of the site but if people don't read it then there isn't anything we can do to protect you.

    @Admin can help you recover it but in terms of us being able to do anything, we are limited. We weren't involved and why we stickied a Safe Trading Guide at the top of the Clash of Clans page so people read it to avoid the specific scam you went through.
