    How to Report a Dispute
    Please fill out all 9 questions below. You must provide proof or your claim cannot be validated.

    1. Date Dispute Happened
    May 23rd, 2017

    2. Are You The Buyer or Seller
    I'm the Buyer

    3. Total Transaction Value
    $25 USD

    4. Other Parties Username
    UltimateBooster

    5. Method Used To Pay or Receive Payment
    PayPal

    6. Other Parties Email Addresses
    [email protected]

    7. Other Parties Payment Email Address
    [email protected]

    8. Other Parties Messenger Username
    ultimatebooster0

    9. Provide All Chat Logs and Additional Information Below
    We agreed that i would pay first half, he would give me the account, then i would pay the last half, after i paid, (and i even sent him a photo of the transaction), he disconnected, and possibly blocked me on Kik (As all messages appear to only deliver and are not read.) or is just ignoring me. I hope you can help me.
    Im sure it´s definitely a scam because you dont take an hour or even more to just deliver an account´s info.
    His post: Selling - LEVEL 11 | FULL CARDS AND LEGENDARIES | NAME CHANGEABLE | $50 | PlayerUp Accounts Marketplace. Player 2 Player Secure Platform.
    His Skype: [email protected]

    Kik: (Where we talked, its already included below)

    1.png He basically says he doesn´t know how that works, but when you sell something, middleman is something trivial, and only scammers would leave that away, (Or only if the seller is trusted, but thats another fairy tale).
    2.png

    Again, says he doesn´t know how, and this time, suggests i get a MM at MY cost. Besides, i read that sellers are to do the listing for one.
    3.png Here he offers to do it that way 5.png Here he convinces me about it so i send him the 25 bucks

    7.png
    Sent him proof.
    It even says Camera (In spanish though, lol.) down below the image
    6.png Now, he confirmed himself that the payment was received, and most likely left after, as you can see, messages after were delivered, but not read.
    I knew there was something suspicious about this. 50 bucks for a level 11 account.
    Simple human error, again, i hope you can help me with this. 4.png 7.png

    @Republic Wolf


    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, unless they have an extremely good reputation. 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.

    This is a clear scam
    A lvl 11 account cost 100$+
    also he is not interested to deal via middleman so this is clearly a scam.

    Yeah, i know, but i though he was just offering it because he needed cash quick or something, i´ve seen trusted sellers sell level 11 accounts at 50 bucks before, so i though he was being legit.
    Guess i will wait until dispute ends because this guy doesn´t seem like he wants to dispute lol, so i guess Paypal will help me when it ends.
