Well it happened in a DM over discord

However I have the entire DM still there, I can post it here if needed. Also, the person said because the payment would take a week to reach me if I wanted to do it over discord. As well the person mentioned when finds a good deal, then sells those accounts over discord

 

Can you explain more about what happened and post the screenshots here.

 

@Octo35 dispute against you.

 

Sure, so, what happened was I got messaged by that user, asking to buy my account, so I told him sure, and the user also said that the payment he/she wanted to do it on discord because it would take less time and this is the conversation that took place, I'll show everything with screenshots.

I bet is not the first time the person did this, is the only person that I got messaged that day. The person changed the name on discord, but in the post, I mentioned what was the original person discord name

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.
