    Do you use K,I,K, 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.

    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, K,I,K, skype, or any 3rd party service. All middleman transactions are done through PlayerUp.com for security reasons.

    For more information, please visit this link: Middleman: Sellers Guide | PlayerUp - Video Game Accounts Marketplace. Player 2 Player Secure Platform.

    If someone emailed you saying they were us, then it's a scam. We don't use email to conduct business transactions.

    [email protected] <---- Their messaged is:
    "
    Thank you for using PlayerUp.com to secure your transaction:

    Buyer Purchased: WTS - TH9 | LVL 104 | AQ9/BK12 | 5 BUILDERS | 1064 GEMS | NAME CHANGE AVAILABLE | PlayerUp - Video Game Accounts Marketplace. Player 2 Player Secure Platform.

    We have opened a 3 way conversation with the seller, the buyer, and us. The seller will now need to release full access to the Android Google Play Gmail Account to the buyer. The buyer will need the following account information from the seller:

    1). Gmail Email Username:
    2). Gmail Email Password:
    3). Any Additional Information:

    The seller will also need to go to this link - Sign in - Google Accounts while signed into the Gmail Account and remove all security settings including the phone number, security answers, secondary email addresses otherwise the buyer may not be able to access the account.

    Both the buyer and seller have been added to this ticket

    If you have any additional questions or need further assistance, please update this ticket."


    So this is fake and nobody bought my account? :(

    Thank you for reporting this.

    Someone registered the playerup.org domain to try to scam you. Going to pass this onto legal. They even used our company information in the domain registration profile so we're going to file an ICANN Dispute.

    According to legal, they will contact the host tomorrow and try to get the domain name suspended. If that doesn't work, they'll have to file an ICANN Dispute on the domain name.

    I got the same mail before.
    The question is how do they get our Email address in the first place?
