    I purchased an account from pinky28 on Tuesday the 22. She never gave me access and told me to contact her through the "line" app. Then she said i needed to send the money a different way through a website called xoom because middleman wouldn't send money to the Philippines. I sent half ($100usd) to her and then she immediately removed herself from the chat. Her real name is Chantel Mae Menchavez and her username here is pinky28. Please help.

    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 an off-site transaction, you need to immediately open a dispute with the company you used to transfer the money, hopefully before the seller moves those funds. I can assist you further with this if you give me the payment method you used.

    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.
