Never ever send by family and friends. He isn't your family nor your friend. Please be careful in the future. Thankfully it's just $10. [HASHTAG]#combatfraud[/HASHTAG]
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 (Buyers Guide) and here is how it works for sellers (Sellers Guide). Is there anything we can do to assist you still with this dispute? Please read this guide (Guide - Combat Fraud Service). All we need is the scammers full name and address and we can assist you further. 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 funds - Guide - Combat Fraud Service 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 user has been flagged here before but is still operating. This calls the integrity of the entire site in to question.
Does it? We have to give people a fair chance to respond not just ban people at free will whenever someone reports something. He didn't reply. Now he is banned.
the tag on his ad says his account is suspended not banned This person who has already confirmed by playerup to be a scammer also tried to scam me so when I question the overall integritiy of the site I am referring to several instances not just this one. Stole Money - Fake Middleman Scam | PlayerUp Accounts Marketplace. Player 2 Player Secure Platform. This is the ad he tried to scam me with a couple of days ago Selling - WW2 account prestige10 all ARs and SMGs are diamond | PlayerUp Accounts Marketplace. Player 2 Player Secure Platform. I really appreciate the concept of this site although I have a completely different approach that would remove any possibility what so ever for anyone to be cheated on either side of the transaction. As such, I have an interest in supporting this site fininacially (in terms of tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of dollars) or possibly acquiring it in its entirety but there are many inconsistencies with stated and unstated policies along with the may be more important fact that I have attempted to make purchases here on 3 different occasions and all 3 were scams. Can you please direct me to an owner via pm or my registered email address to discuss a business opportunity.
