Trough Discord buyer connected with me 14th December. I created "Buy Me" link on site and sent him on 15th December. Then I received on my e-mail this email and proceed to private room. Got this message in the end. Waited for money since then. Today I have been told about such scheme and I want to cry. I wanted to give this money for my mom's operation... I don't know what to do. Is it real to receive my money?

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.

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 - https://www.playerup.com/threads/guide-combat-fraud-service.1571655/

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.
