    This is a scam email. They spoofed our e-mail.

    Do you use K,I,K, Skype, or another messenger service?
    No. All middleman transactions are done through PlayerUp.com for security reasons. Anyone who attempts to contact you through a 3rd party messenger claiming they are us is fraudulent.

    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, K,I,K, skype, or any 3rd party service. All middleman transactions are done through PlayerUp.com for security reasons.

    For more information, please visit this link: Middleman: Sellers Guide | PlayerUp - Video Game Accounts Marketplace. Player 2 Player Secure Platform.

    Notice they put DO NOT REPLY TO THIS EMAIL at the top. Of course because they can't reply back :)

    We have control of the e-mail itself. They spoofed it and changed the FROM address so they make people believe it's from @PlayerUp.com kinda like people do when they spoof paypal and send from [email protected]
