    That could be their email too, just be patient, if you paid through a middleman link posted on this website you should not have anything to worry about.

    after the buyer pays through middleman, it could be 24 hours before they contact you. and they will not do business over email. they do it through PM on here. if you werent in a 3 way convo on this site, then you were scammed.

    We will never tell you to do anything through email other than:

    1). Provide us an URL link to what you're buying/selling
    2). Ask for your PlayerUp Username
    3). Provide verification

    We will never tell you to contact us through Kik, Skype, or ask for any sensitive account information. All communications asking you to do this will be done through @Middleman username on PlayerUp.com only.

    There is very little we can do with email spoofing other than report it to the ISP he is sending emails from. PayPal and Blizzard are 2 companies who deal with email spoofing problems as you may already know after seeing dozens of emails with fake links.

    Who is this person that did this? Who have you been talking to on PlayerUp here? Do you have his username that got your e-mail?

    Well we sent PMs before we posted here.

    Just post in the Middleman or Help Section at the bottom of the site on the frontpage if you need an urgent response. Those typically get addressed first.
