Attempted Scam

1. Date Dispute Happened

October 17, 2024

2. Are You The Buyer or Seller

I'm the Buyer

3. Total Transaction Value

$30.9 USD

4. Other Parties Username

VibrantSeller (same for Messenger)

5. Method Used To Pay or Receive Payment

Whatever card service you use on this site. Might be Skrill? Can't remember which one I used.

CANT FIND EMAIL SINCE HIS PROFILE IS PRIVATE

9. Provide All Chat Logs and Additional Information Below

(He cleared out telegram chats so I'm just going to provide a screenshot from this site of him telling me to message him on telegram...)

What happened was, I purchased an OF account just to have as a backup since my other account keeps bugging out. When I purchased the account the seller (VibrantSeller) sent me a DM on here basically saying to add him on telegram. I added him thinking maybe it was to send me the credentials in private but he ended up sending me a premade copy and paste method basically saying "Why would you buy my product on PlayerUp that was stupid" and telling me to send him the money over telegram cause you guys supposedly don't give him his payouts.

I'm someone who has been on the internet for a long time and have been scammed through various methods over the years. From crypto scams to paypal "friends and family" I've pretty much either experienced it or seen it happen to other people. With that said, I refuse to send money to a stranger I've never met over telegram. It either has to be through A. a trusted middle man service like playerup or B. through paypal goods and services since they allow fraud prevention in case someone tries to scam you through a purchase.

Since the message was copy and paste I would imagine he has done this to others on the app. Now, I don't know if its a scam cause ya know "love you around and find out" kind of situation where I don't want to risk my money for some pussy on the internet but I do have to say its not something you probably want occurring on your site. You lose business, potential customers (since it might deter them from trusting the site), and it also just fills up your site with false posts that don't amount to anything which leads to more and more scam reports you have to deal with.
