    I just want to confirm if the email I received from you on gmail is legit, asking for a $50 middleman fee for a transaction?

    You received a phishing scam e-mail from a non @PlayerUp.com e-mail address.

    PlayerUp doesn't charge sellers $50 middleman fees to continue selling or start a transaction. PlayerUp doesn't e-mail you and the communication you received is from a scam email. You can verify this yourself by checking the FROM email address that requested this $50 payment and you'll see the e-mail is from a @Proton or @gmail or some non @PlayerUp.com e-mail address.

    ==============================================

    As a reminder:

    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.
