    How to Report a Dispute
    Please fill out all 9 questions below. You must provide proof or your claim cannot be validated.

    1. Date Dispute Happened
    September 8th, 2018

    2. Are You The Buyer or Seller
    I'm the Buyer

    3. Total Transaction Value
    $10.00 USD

    4. Other Parties Username
    MoTiFy (MoTiFy | PlayerUp Accounts Marketplace. Player 2 Player Secure Platform.

    5. Method Used To Pay or Receive Payment
    PayPal Friends & Family

    6. Other Parties Email Addresses
    [email protected]

    7. Other Parties Payment Email Address
    His PayPal: [email protected]

    8. Other Parties Messenger Username
    His Discord: motify#1630

    9. Provide All Chat Logs and Additional Information Below

    So, I paid $10.00 USD to this guy for 2 stacked black knight accounts, and then after I paid him, he gave me 2 unworking accounts and blocked me on Discord. I have a video of proof he did this, I also recorded with Discord program on my computer showing his discord tag instead of the web version of discord to prove authenticity that he did in fact do this. I thought he was a trusted seller considering he has all 16 positive reviews on his playerup.gg (playerup but apparently he is not.

    Hopefully I can get my money back through PlayerUp. Thanks for reading this :(

    It's fine, thanks for banning the scammer btw. We need less scammers in the PlayerUp community, there's a ton of scammers in the fortnite community at the moment and I actually thought I could trust this dude since he had a lot of positive vouches, and zero negative ones, but apparently he scammed me which sucks but hopefully I can get my money back soon, I'm selling some unwanted items on PlayerUp atm and hopefully someone will eventually buy. Again ty for banning the scammer

    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 (Buyers Guide) and here is how it works for sellers (Sellers Guide).

    Is there anything we can do to assist you still with this dispute?
    Please read this guide (Guide - Combat Fraud Service). All we need is the scammers full name and address and we can assist you further.

    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 funds - Guide - Combat Fraud Service

    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.
