Exploiting Probable Scam

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.
