And here is the rest. I only continued talking to get some info to report him. Here's what makes it an obvious scam. 1.The price was listed on playerup as $50. He somehow misinterpreted it for $175 and was ready to pay. Clueless to the actual price. Thread below. Selling - Lvl 10.5 Name change 4000 trophies. 25k gold and 729 gems. LavHound, IceWiz, Mine, Spark, 2Princess | PlayerUp Accounts Marketplace. Player 2 Player Secure Platform. 2. He AGREED to $175. Then AGREED to $150. Later I lowered it to $125 and he only cared for the rep point. The amount of money doesn't matter to scammers, because they aren't paying it anyway. He could have agreed to $1Milion but would still profit if he didn't pay at all. 3. He lied about a crucial detail to his argument. "Playerup takes forever, I've used it before" ..... "I've never used it before" Long story short. Money didn't matter to him. Nothing mattered to him. He just wanted me to put my data into that site. Sadly, scammers like him will just create new accounts on Line and these sites.
Just searched for him on playerup, and tried to submit a report under his name.... No results for a JamesBond77. But, in the screenshot he sent me, the date in the bottom right was 9:20pm. 3/6/2017. More proof of a scammer not wanting to get caught I guess?

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.

Please read this guide (Guide - Combat Fraud Service). All we need is the scammers full name and address and we can assist you further. .
There is little that can be done here by us because it's an offsite dispute and no PlayerUp Middleman Services was used. We can't even ban the guy. If you lost any account, you'll need to contact the game publishers and try all out to try to recover it.
