Phone number verification while registering new account on Playerup can reduce the amount of scammer. Why? Most scammers create multiple account to play different roles and make up any stories to steal money from victims. Reducing multiple account issue also reduces scammers Of course, Playerup has multiple account detection system but it sometimes does not work. Phone number verification can help. Scammers may be able to manage to get more phone numbers whether from virtual number or wherever to still try to create multiple account but it's harder to do. There are many websites that are success in using this verification to reduce scammer issue. It's not complicated system if phone numbers are being collected like emails while registration to run detection system if they are used before or in the blacklist or not. Some websites even runs the system to detect if phone number is valid or virtual or not. I've been a trusted seller and also Middleman supporter among many buyers on Playerup since 2015. I've seen many tricks scammers use. When buyers get scammed, they mostly don't talk about who actually does scam them. They mention about the website where they get scammed.
There are many ways to get around this but we do plan to offer something similar to this in the feature for selected games that are higher risk. It's fairly easy to implement something like this.

Yes. It's easy to buy a virtual number. We'll consider this in the future but for now we have held off on this.
