    This is a scam. I want to cancel this transaction and I want all my money back please.

    User ORWGOAT posted here on PlayerUp saying he could get inactive X/twitter usernames:
    https://www.playerup.com/threads/in...st-yes-to-playerup-midman-tg-orwgoat.6242491/

    I messaged him on telegram (screenshot below) and he gave me this PlayerUp Middleman link to buy an X username:
    https://www.playerup.com/middleman/?page_id=5&form=cart&p_key=12115800_74134

    I made the payment. But only in the Account Management page, under Track Your Order/Verification Status, it can be seen that user funnyplay838 is the actual seller.
    https://www.playerup.com/funnyplay838

    User funnyplay838 is already flagged as high risk.

    This can only be seen after the payment is made.

    Nowhere in the PlayerUp Middleman Shopping Cart List does it say who the seller/user actually is!

    The real seller was hidden and this shouldn't be allowed to happen. I want all my money back.

    I've requested to cancel this order and to receive a full refund on August 15. On August 16 ORWGOAT also cancelled the order.

    I don't have any reply or refund from PlayerUp or @Middleman

    Fortunately, you paid through PlayerUp Middleman. This transaction was fully refunded back to you.

    @Hulk, I've just confirmed with my credit card provider that no refund was made.
