    It's been almost 12 hours now since I sent my payment. I had sent it as "Goods & Businesses" first, had it refunded so I could send as "Friends & Family". I realize it's my fault for not using a middleman as well. The person has gone into Skype multiple times as I've seen him "Online" and has not responded ONCE to my messages. I also saw he had his own topic, selling said "high level BO3 account" and another member had asked him to send the account information to him as he had not received it as well. If so, he has scammed two members now (that I know of) on this site. I wish this problem to be taken care of, I don't mind not getting the money back a whole lot. Thank you.

    How can you protect yourself from these type of scams in the future?
    I strongly recommend in the future to use PlayerUp Middleman Services to protect yourself from these type of scams. Here is how it works for buyers (Middleman: Buyers Guide | PlayerUp Accounts Marketplace. Player 2 Player Secure Platform. and here is how it works for sellers (Middleman: Sellers Guide | PlayerUp Accounts Marketplace. Player 2 Player Secure Platform.

    What can you do next to resolve this issue?

    Since this is a PayPal transaction, you need to immediately go to PayPal and open a dispute hopefully before the seller moves those funds. In order to do that, go to your paypal receipt, and see the area where it says resolution or dispute payment. Open a dispute and provide them as much proof as possible. Contact PayPal as well and ask them what you need to do to win a dispute. Keep in constant communication with paypal. If you sent the payment by family and friends then unfortunately those funds are lost as you cannot dispute those payments and we strongly advise against sending friends and family payments in the future even if the seller requires it you can easily say no. For more information, please contact PayPal.

    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 property or funds - Guide - Combat Fraud Service | PlayerUp Accounts Marketplace. Player 2 Player Secure Platform.

    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.

    Can you provide evidence of the account being delivered and that he got access to it?

    Was the info sent? Highly doubtful. There's the evidence showing that you NEVER responded to my messages after sending my payment to you, Knuckies.

    You're lucky I was gullible enough to send it to you as Friends & Family and couldn't start a dispute due to being sent in that method. Give me the information or my money back. I've got the whole conversation screenshoted with no alterations.

    The only update I can give is that I still don't have the account or the money. I would try to get in contact with the seller but I know I'll just get ignored.
