    Here are some ways to avoid being scammed. Either tell them to go first, use a middleman, or tell them that your friends with a admin or mod and say you will record this and if they scam you you will send the video to the mod or admin.

    Thanks,

    Buyer

    ps I hope u get a refund.

    How can you protect yourself from these type of scams in the future?

    I strongly recommend in the future to use PlayerUp Middleman Services to protect yourself from these type of scams. Here is how it works for buyers (https://www.playerup.com/support-tickets/knowledge-base/middleman-buyers-guide.19/) and here is how it works for sellers (https://www.playerup.com/support-tickets/knowledge-base/middleman-sellers-guide.20/).

    Is there anything we can do to assist you still with this dispute?

    Please read this guide (https://www.playerup.com/threads/guide-combat-fraud-service.1571655/). All we need is the scammers full name and address and we can assist you further.

    What can you do next to resolve this issue?

    Since this is a PayPal transaction, you need to immediately go to PayPal and open a dispute hopefully before the seller moves those funds. In order to do that, go to your paypal receipt, and see the area where it says resolution or dispute payment. Open a dispute and provide them as much proof as possible. Contact PayPal as well and ask them what you need to do to win a dispute. Keep in constant communication with paypal. If you sent the payment by family and friends then unfortunately those funds are lost as you cannot dispute those payments and we strongly advise against sending friends and family payments in the future even if the seller requires it you can easily say no. For more information, please contact PayPal.

    Can PlayerUp provide compensation for this dispute?

    Since this is a non middleman transaction and PlayerUp wasn't directly involved with safeguarding your payment and guaranteeing your transaction we will unfortunately not be able to provide any compensation for you on this transaction as you dealt directly with the individual for which you're submitting a complaint against in this ticket. However if you're able to locate his full name and address, we can possibly go after him but there is no guarantee we'll be able to recover any lost funds - https://www.playerup.com/threads/guide-combat-fraud-service.1571655/

    How can I protect myself in the future?

    We strongly advise that you don't conduct business offsite. This is the #1 way scammers attract buyers and sellers is they lure them offsite and then bait them into anything because they have no consequences for their actions. If you did business on site, then disregard this message as the majority of scams are done offsite.

    I’ve already contacted PayPal and it’s looking good I may be able to get the money back they are looking into this.
