    I am a failure.

    Did you read the website before you decided to transfer this information over to this random person who was sending you an e-mail?

    There are Seller Protection Icons listed all over every single thread on this website so people read them before transferring any payment or account information.



    When you click on them you go to this page: https://www.playerup.com/support-tickets/knowledge-base/middleman-sellers-guide.20/. At the very top, we clearly posted:

    How will middleman services contact me?
    All middleman transactions are conducted on PlayerUp.com only. Never release any information, perform any service or release any payments if you're a seller unless @middleman contacts you through the Conversation Ticket System. PlayerUp Middleman Services will never contact you through e-mail, discord, steam, facebook, whatsapp, kik, skype, or any 3rd party service. If somebody contacts you offsite claiming they are from PlayerUp, it is a scam.

    In addition we post:

    When should I release my account information to the buyer?
    Never release your account information unless (@Middleman) contacts you through the PlayerUp Conversation Ticket System. We will never contact you through e-mail, discord, facebook, whatsapp, kik, skype, or any 3rd party service. All middleman transactions are done through PlayerUp.com for security reasons.

    You should focus on recalling the item transferred to him. Report it as stolen and contact the game publishers to get it back.

    I didn't read. That was my mistake. I am an love you because it.

    But yeah... I have contacted already, now I am waiting an answer. If I have lucky, at least I will be able to block the account. Get it back I don't think it's possible... I will see and update here, if I can.

    There's a good news!
    I got my account back!

    Thank you @Hulk for the report idea!

    And now, if anyone who watch this topic see someone called "alphaboy" be careful and don't be a baka like me.
