@MAC1346 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 (Middleman: Buyers Guide | PlayerUp Accounts Marketplace. Player 2 Player Secure Platform. and here is how it works for sellers (Middleman: Sellers Guide | PlayerUp Accounts Marketplace. Player 2 Player Secure Platform. What can you do next to resolve this issue? Since this is a PayPal transaction, you need to immediately go to PayPal and open a dispute hopefully before the seller moves those funds. In order to do that, go to your paypal receipt, and see the area where it says resolution or dispute payment. Open a dispute and provide them as much proof as possible. Contact PayPal as well and ask them what you need to do to win a dispute. Keep in constant communication with paypal. If you sent the payment by family and friends then unfortunately those funds are lost as you cannot dispute those payments and we strongly advise against sending friends and family payments in the future even if the seller requires it you can easily say no. For more information, please contact PayPal. Can PlayerUp provide compensation for this dispute? Since this is a non middleman transaction and PlayerUp wasn't directly involved with safeguarding your payment and guaranteeing your transaction we will unfortunately not be able to provide any compensation for you on this transaction as you dealt directly with the individual for which you're submitting a complaint against in this ticket. However if you're able to locate his full name and address, we can possibly go after him but there is no guarantee we'll be able to recover any lost property or funds - Guide - Combat Fraud Service | PlayerUp Accounts Marketplace. Player 2 Player Secure Platform. How can I protect myself in the future? We strongly advise that you don't conduct business offsite. This is the #1 way scammers attract buyers and sellers is they lure them offsite and then bait them into anything because they have no consequences for their actions. If you did business on site, then disregard this message as the majority of scams are done offsite.

@MAC1346 , @BelloqZafarian From investigating this thread, I've come to a conclusion. @MAC1346 decided to stop @BelloqZafarian from boosting the account because @MAC1346 found a replacement to boost the account due to @BelloqZafarian exceeding the time period that was set, (2 days, exceeded to over 3). @BelloqZafarian , you should not refund @MAC1346 the full amount but at least a portion of it due to exceeding your set time allocated. [ @Admin ]
@MAC1346 , please note that @BelloqZafarian did not completely scam you. You requested for him to stop boosting your account due to exceeding the set time period allocated, therefore @BelloqZafarian has not stolen anything from you. @BelloqZafarian still spent time boosting your account even though he did not complete it, but this was because you requested him to stop. I doubt @BelloqZafarian will receive any type of drastic penalty as the user did not steal anything from you and you requested him to stop when he could have continued. @BelloqZafarian should at least refund a portion of the amount because he exceeded the set time period.

Thanks fore all your help. I hope he doesn't do this to anyone else. This my last question, can I file a dispute on PayPal if I send money from "friends and family" if I show them the skype chat?
If you sent the payment by family and friends then unfortunately those funds are lost as you cannot dispute those payments and we strongly advise against sending friends and family payments in the future even if the seller requires it you can easily say no. For more information, please contact PayPal. Please take a second of your time to like this post if I helped resolve your issue. [ @Admin ]
@freechest Hiya, You may not have read all of the chat logs Mac had posted, but there is a mistake here. Initially, he had asked that I level his already semi-high (Level 78) account to near the maximum level in Wizard101 (Level 100). Being as his character had already been decently leveled up, this would've taken two days. However, Mac instead asked for me to level up a brand new Wizard. This takes a LOT of time to go from Level 0 to 100, more than two days. As indicated in his chat logs, he told me he just created the account. Here are some quotes I found from our chat logs, posted by himself in the OP. [4/6/2017 4:03:11 PM] John White: i ran in to an issue so i maybe need make a new account [4/6/2017 4:03:28 PM] John White: how much will you charge for 1-100? [4/6/2017 4:04:24 PM] Benjamin: Yikes, what happened? I would ask for 70$, but only 60 because you already gave me 10 [4/6/2017 6:20:09 PM] John White: and how long will this take? [4/6/2017 6:20:40 PM] Benjamin: I think I can get to level 40 by tomorrow night, no joke. Then maybe I will do 10 or 15 levels a day after that. It will take less than a week probably. [4/6/2017 6:21:16 PM] John White: alright Hopefully this clears things up now. You insist that I should refund money, but I am of a different opinion. I have proven that I have already done lots of work on his account, and have offered a couple times to finish it if I was allowed. This will be my only offer. I still offer to finish the request even now, if Mac wants to. If he doesn't want me to finish, it's his loss. Thanks for adding your thoughts on this dispute, -Ben
But I didn't tell that before, I told you that after. Also you agreed to work on the character, I even told you if you could be done by weekday and you said yes. Plus you never even let me log on to check the progress. Please refund me at least half due to you not finishing on time. Thank you
