All this happened yesterday and today, among other things. I was scammed by a user here, he contacted me shortly after I opened my game account sales page. The user who scammed me asked me to communicate with him through "Discord". I naively fell for it, I communicated with him in Discord and after I was showing him with screenshots the account he was buying, he asked me what was my email used for playerup. I gave it to him and shortly after he wrote to me asking if I hadn't received an email from Playerup. I checked and I had actually received it, he invited me to pay the commissions to the email address indicated in the email to speed up the sales process. I did it all without thinking too much because I was sure I was communicating via email with the playerup site. After paying $ 50 in commissions, I received the reply that I would still have to pay $ 100 and I honestly did not understand the reason for all these commissions to be paid before receiving my payment from the buyer, so I asked him if it was normal and he replied that it worked like this. Shortly after I realized that his account had been banned in playerup and I told him and he explained to me that it had happened by mistake. Later I told him that I had paid the two commission fees and that I was waiting for directions from Playerup on how to proceed to obtain his payment and to deliver to him my gaming account that I was selling to him. I wrote to him today and realized that he blocked me in Discord. At this point I realized that there was something wrong, Playeruo was not answering me anymore and my buyer had blocked me. So I checked the Playerup sender email address and realized it was an Outlook email and not a playerup email, the following: [email protected]. I am traumatized by this experience, I am trying to get my money back through Paypal because I sent it to these scammers using the "send to family and friends" method. I don't blame Playerup, because I was too naive, but the thing I complain about is that their assistance doesn't seem to exist, in fact I wrote opening a ticket to receive assistance but I'm only receiving automatic replies from a bot. I don't like this and it doesn't look professional to me. After this experience I don't know if I will use playerup again.
Same thing just happened to me. I feel you man. Same email and everything. I wish I would’ve googled it before. They really made it believable. Let me know if there’s anyway you get your money back, I’m now trying to do the same thing. Condolences and good luck my friend.
