    I am the seller of 729 Diamond Locks in the game called Growtopia. I think I was using the live chat service and got connected with a middleman called Andy through my buy link I created. I think a PlayerUp middleman scammed me. After the transaction, the middleman told me it takes 1-144 hours before I receive my payment. Its been more than two weeks now. I'm sure it wasn't a fake middleman. Is there a way for you to check my conversation history though the website? I don't have any screenshots of the live chat because I thought PlayerUp for sure would keep a chat log. I am very disappointed and hope I will end up getting my money.

    The order number is 740605515.

    1. Date Dispute Happened
    9th May 2021

    2. Are You The Buyer or Seller
    I'm the Seller

    3. Total Transaction Value
    The original listing was $1167 USD but during the middleman transaction it was changed to $1200 USD because the buyer agreed to help me pay for withdrawal fees.

    4. Other Parties Username
    Wise0ne in Growtopia, Dov in Discord, and I'm not sure about his website username.

    5. Method Used To Pay or Receive Payment
    Apparently I am supposed to receive PlayerUp credits into my account. I think the buyer did a Wire transfer to buy the credits.

    6. Other Parties Email Addresses
    It's one of his email addresses, I don't know if he used this one. [email protected]

    7. Other Parties Payment Email Address
    It's one of his email addresses, I don't know if he used this one. [email protected]

    8. Other Parties Messenger Username
    dov#2239 on discord.

    9. Provide All Chat Logs and Additional Information Below
    Order number: 740605515

    We agreed to use PlayerUp as a middleman service, however I think the middleman scammed me. I'm sure it was one of the real PlayerUp ones.

    Sorry I don’t know. I think I got scammed with a fake email who claimed to be PlayerUp.

    Does no information show when you search up my order number?

    Please is there anything you guys can do? I’ve attached an image of the email.
