    Hello, I recently sold something and I got the process for everything through my email. This is my first time using the site and I'm guessing it was a scam. Transaction ID: 995485216 here is the transaction ID if that will help. If it is a scam is there a way I could receive my money or get the account I sold back?

    Thank you for submitting a support ticket with the general support (non middleman support) department.

    Please note that this support doesn't handle middleman/playerup purchases/orders/payments as you'll need to contact the middleman department directly here regarding this. Your ticket won't be redirected so please make sure to open a new ticket with the correct department.

    Assuming this is a general support inquiry, an agent will assist you shortly. Meanwhile while waiting, you can also get help or find your answer here:

    Apologize for the delay on getting back with you here. Unfortunately you dealt with a fake middleman scam email and you will need to contact the game publishers and recall your account. You can verify this by checking the @ email that sent that email to you. It will come from a non @PlayerUp.com email. They conned you into thinking you had a buyer on PlayerUp but the reality is they simply wanted to steal your account to resell. PlayerUp doesn't do business offsite through email, discord or any other 3rd party platform to avoid scams like this.

    Did you read the website before you decided to transfer this information over to this random person who was sending you an e-mail?

    There are Seller Protection Icons listed all over every single thread on this website so people read them before transferring any payment or account information.



    When you click on them you go to this page: https://www.playerup.com/support-tickets/knowledge-base/middleman-sellers-guide.20/. At the very top, we clearly posted:

    How will middleman services contact me?
    All middleman transactions are conducted on PlayerUp.com only. Never release any information, perform any service or release any payments if you're a seller unless @middleman contacts you through the Conversation Ticket System. PlayerUp Middleman Services will never contact you through e-mail, discord, steam, facebook, whatsapp, kik, skype, or any 3rd party service. If somebody contacts you offsite claiming they are from PlayerUp, it is a scam.

    In addition we post:

    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, discord, facebook, whatsapp, kik, skype, or any 3rd party service. All middleman transactions are done through PlayerUp.com for security reasons.
