    1. Go here: Middleman: Sellers Guide | PlayerUp Accounts Marketplace. Player 2 Player Secure Platform. and you'll see middleman or anyone at PlayerUp that is a staff member will NEVER respond to you by email or any offsite contact. All business is done on PlayerUp.com

    2. Look at the email. It says playerupmiddleman.com. We aren't playerupmiddleman.com. This is a bogus email.

    3. You were scammed by someone trying to con us. I would try to recall everything that was taken from you.

    If you paid by PayPal, I would immediately call them up and tell them someone is trying to portray themselves as playerup.com and scamming people so they'll lock that paypal account up. Also dispute the payment asap via paypal. Show this thread as evidence.

    Also I hope you didn't pay by family and friends. This is clearly a scam. You really need to call PayPal asap.
