    Actually I PM'd you what to do @Jordan_coc1212

    Follow those instructions and that should hopefully get back what you lost. That's basically all we can do. The guy is in India and a well known scammer. We have blocked over 30 accounts he created but he keeps coming back. Most of the time our system auto bans him but apparently in this case he got through again.

    Make sure you check the badges on the site before doing business with these people. The user was a brand new member with no badges, no posts, nothing.

    With me for example you see I am the actual @Admin on the site responding to you

    Sorry to hear about your recent scam attempt. It happens to all of us at least once in our life. Never a positive thing but a learning experience. Hopefully you are able to get back what you lost and he doesn't gain anything from this. The sooner you act, the sooner his attempt to scam you will be a waste of his time.

    Yes kinda annoying isn't it but it does help those victims. We've noticed a positive trend so far and intended to release over 100+ auto responses to more specific things not related to disputes in the upcoming weeks. Like for example someone has a question about linking ios devices it should auto respond with more information. I think it's a helpful tool since 90% of questions asked are commonly asked questions that really an automated tool should be able to answer.

    However yes a few tweaks need to be made to it so it doesn't auto reply over and over. We'll fix that.

    I can answer that privately to you.

    I would prefer not to reply here because he maybe lurking and may see your dispute thread.

    Think this idea is a bit late but I believe it'll prevent any more future issues like this here in PlayerUp, why not premake all the most possible username that are very close to the Middleman username? so that no other fraudsters can make a new fake middleman account which can lead to this case of @Jordan_coc1212 and other people who were victimized by this kind of scheme. Though I think that all scammers have already tried all the most possible username that are closest to Middleman, but IMHO its not too late to take this action.

    I'm seeing a lot of fraudster adding special symbols/letters on the Middleman name, examples are Middleman. and Midd|eman or anything that aren't very noticeable at first or to new members who aren't familiar to the real @Middleman

    @Administrator I'm not sure if this one is an additional PlayerUp Admin but if not then it may be possibly be used for a future fraudulent act.
