    @w00dp3ck3r

    We received a report just now from @TaylorDream of a similar case where the user provided these order numbers: Order ID 1: 254956854 Order ID 2: 995485216. When we search it seems we have a variety of reports of users reporting these order numbers and it appears you were all scammed the same way.

    These are not valid order numbers.

    Based on the evidence @TaylorDream provided us, it appears you were scammed by this email [email protected] which is not associated with our company. Here is what Taylor provided us:




    A quick search of this email [email protected] and you'll find that this email has been scamming people for over 2 years:

    Please note we did not respond until now because legally we are not supposed to get involved in non middleman related transactions.

    Now we have tried out best to warn the community that we do not conduct business through emails. On every thread on this site we have a Sellers Guide which at the very top you'll see this message below:
    https://www.playerup.com/support-tickets/knowledge-base/middleman-sellers-guide.20/

    We also put in every conversation a warning sign with a similar message. It appears someone emailed you from that email above pretending to be us and they scammed you. I do not know if you already recovered your item sent to this person or if you transferred any information to this person at all but if you did, immediately contact the game publishers and get it back. Based on most of these scams, it seems this is related to Summoners War. Here is a guide on how to contact them and work to get your account/items back:



    If this is not Summoners War, please reply to this ticket and we will research how you can get your items back. Please note once again as mentioned we do not legally get involved in matters outside of PlayerUp Middleman Transactions. We will try our best to help but beyond that this transaction was not done through PlayerUp so we can't do much more than try to provide basic tips and assistance to getting back what you lost.

    Sorry for your troubles and please make sure to read the site guides before you transact in the future not just on PlayerUp but any site you do business on to avoid conflicts like these in the future.

    I'm confused on how the middleman service works then. I sent the link to the buyer and they purchased it and we both got emails from the same email, [email protected]

    Your Buyer = The Scammer

    Your buyer is the scammer. The buyer faked everything baited you into giving him the accounts essentially for free thinking he paid but didn't actually spend anything. There was no middleman transaction and he conned you essentially.

    May I ask how did you communicate with this buyer? Discord? Facebook? Can you send us all logs you have with this individual.
