    This scammer is kityella again - a user I reported a week ago that was banned. I baited them to come on Skype because using the IP location tool for verified playerup accounts, I had a strong suspicion that this was the same scammer - same tactic (give me account info first, then I'll pay you), same type of broken English, etc, and same ISP (Tedata).

    Stephine21 used an alias of Randy Andrew with the skype email above. A quick search on Google led me to confirm that not only is this person a scammer, but also has accounts on other account selling websites (4th Google result) that have been banned for scamming (on epic - TheLegend24 and RandyAndrew2)!

    This is a skype log of the conversation I had with them. Again, I was promptly blocked after exposing them after she told me I had no "prof".

    You should look to recall whatever you lost. Looks like a clear scammer to me.

    How can you protect yourself from these type of scams in the future?
    I strongly recommend in the future to use PlayerUp Middleman Services to protect yourself from these type of scams. Here is how it works for buyers (Buyers Guide) and here is how it works for sellers (Sellers Guide).

    Is there anything we can do to assist you still with this dispute?
    Please read this guide (Guide - Combat Fraud Service). All we need is the scammers full name and address and we can assist you further.
