    9. Provide All Chat Logs and Additional Information Below

    I have suspected Phoenix/Dhanta of being a scammer for several days. However, he messaged me today and conversed with me at length for several hours, eventually convincing me that he may actually just be nervous about letting middleman handle his account. Additionally, he agreed to give me a $100 Amazon gift card first, then I would pay $105, then he would give me his account, then I would pay the rest. This seemed very fair to me, considering he was the one who didn't want to use middleman and he was "risking" first.

    He gave me the Amazon gift card. However, after I sent him the money, he left the chat.
    What an elaborate scam. I can honestly say I'm not that surprised, but still a little surprised.
    The pics are in number order, but I had to skip some (irrelevant ones) to get within the 10 pic limit.

    The username @Phoenix. was already marked High Risk for a reason and you didn't use PlayerUp Middleman Services to safeguard you, correct? Very risk transaction and it appears the end result is he may have scammed you here.

    Did the Amazon Gift Card work that he sent you?

    All we can recommend right now is initiating a PayPal Dispute and hopefully PayPal helps but if the funds are withdrawn you may not be covered by PayPal's protection.
