    I can't find any orders until your username. What is your order number?

    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.

    Here is how our process works:

    How does it work?
    1). Sellers create and post middleman buy now listings (click here)
    2). Buyer clicks on buy now listing and completes payment
    3). We verify and secure the buyers payment
    4). We create a 3 way conversation ticket with the Buyer and Seller
    5). We inform the Seller which specific account information they need to release to the Buyer
    6). During this process, we will communicate and guide both the Buyer and Seller.
    7). Buyer secures and verifies the account
    8). Payment is then disbursed to the Seller

    And @Middleman didn't reply to me after I sold my account (after the 3 way conversation).

    you dealt with a fake middleman. You can see that his avatar says banned which is different from the @Middleman you are talking to right now.

    Just to be clear here, you didn't use PlayerUp Middleman Services. As it says in the guide below:
    My understanding here is some guy named @Secure Order signs up to the website, 0 posts, 0 likes, no feedback whatsoever, no badges, and says he works for our company then correct and you believed him? Does that sound about right?

    That isn't how our process works and why the person ultimately is showing BANNED now as he is fraudulent. Staff here at PlayerUp will have a badge like I do with plenty of posts and likes. At no point did @Middleman contact you.

    I'm moving this to the Disputes Section since this isn't a @Middleman order.

    While we're sorry you're having problems here and someone did this to you, at the same time we need to make clear to you this person isn't affiliated with our company other than being a member who signed up without our permission and tried or has attempted to scam you.

    According to @Admin, this person has already been blocked many times keeps creating usernames and trying to scam people. Looks like he managed to trick you here. While we have been able to block him hundreds of times from using this site, the guys spends literally hours everyday trying to get into the site and scam people using a variety of proxies and other possible equipment. We can only do so much to block him.

    All we can recommend here is be observitive of site guides and procedures as simply reading the Sellers Guide for Middleman Services or the Important: Safe Trading World of Tanks Guide - Avoid Scams at the very top of the World of Tanks page (1st post) would have prevented this. It explained exactly how our services work and who @Middleman is supposed to contact you.

    I now see you mentioned World of Tanks above. You should reset the password to the email on the account OR contact Wargaming Support and recover access to the account immediately. Simply tell them someone got into your account and you no longer have access but of course at the same time please provide more screenshots to us so we can tell you what to exactly tell Wargaming Support to get this issue resolved.

    I know you guys here are trying your best to prevent this from happening again but I really think you should prioritize adding a temporary page where all your staffs are listed there including their roles here in PlayerUp.com site so that new members would know who to ask for help or their concerns.

    @Bodnariuc Vlad

    Is there a reason why you just created 2 usernames called

    @Order
    @Transaction

    Both accounts have been banned here. If you create more secondary accounts we will have to perma close all your accounts here. Thank you.

    I feel for anyone that gets scammed by fraudsters and fake middleman accounts especially when it's on the site. My very first deal on this site I got scammed and ever since then I made it a point to always use Middleman. However, when I first came to the site it didn't really seem clear how middleman services work even though I made sure to read the FAQs on buying and selling. It was actually an honest seller that explained everything to me, about wait times, 3-way tickets etc. Also, would there be a way to monitor and prevent users from using certain words in profiles like "secure", "playerup", "middleman", "admin" etc. and some way to prevent scammers from making false forms. Otherwise what security is there when scammers are circulating like wolves among the sheep?

    To me it looked apparent what he was trying to do but I'm only going to give him a warning here since he is a victim reportedly based off the information he provided above so he may not be thinking clearly with his actions. Obviously being a victim doesn't give you the right to repeat what they did to you and makes you no better. It's right from wrong. Those who do right in this world end up prospering later.
