    Can you send further conversations? I only see 1 picture.

    In our Support FAQ and on the Clash of Clans page, we have put notice that PlayerUp.com will NEVER contact you through Skype or Kik for various security reasons.

    The Disputes Team here hasn't reviewed your dispute yet but they will shortly.

    The links don't worry.

    Yes but the people who don't have experience in this industry don't understand the process and how to phish out a scammer.

    If you can provide any tips or recommendations for buyers/sellers, that could be very beneficial.

    It's a common scam and nothing we can do can prevent it as we have no control of KIK and we have already warned people we will only contact you through PlayerUp.com. We have our own built in system and there is no need to contact you through Skype, KiK, or any other online messenger. The only social networking sites we use you can see in the footer below which are Facebook., Twitter, and YouTube. We will however never contact you directly asking for information using these accounts. All internet companies follow the same guidelines as by using 3rd party programs to communicate would promote exploitation which is what happened to you.

    Have you tried contacting Apple? Maybe they can help reverse the cards as you can say that your iTunes Card never worked and show them proof that you never applied it to your account. Do you have the persons email address or any other information about the seller?
