    Hi. I'm a seller using middleman service.

    I'm trying to sell this listing:
    HomeForums>Main Marketplaces>Empires & Puzzles Accounts - Buy Sell Trade
    Selling Android and iOS High End Lvl 80, Team Power: 5139. 108 x 5 heroes , 105 x 4 heroes, 91 x 3 Heroes, 75 Troops , 6x lvl 30

    A buyer contacted me. Asked me to chat on discord. Then said he bought the account. Then I got this email:
    upload_2022-9-29_13-49-20.png

    The return email address is: [email protected]

    The link is to purchase an amazon gift card.

    I can't find anywhere on the website it says that this is a requirement for middleman service. Although, there is an FAQ that states "how do I cancel an amazon gift card."

    Can you please help me? I DONT want to be scammed. That's why I'm using the playerup service. But it's just too odd that the guy asked for the email associated with my account and then I get this email that doesn't look like it's actually coming from playerup.

    Thanks in Advance,
    Dawnie

    This is 100% a fake middleman scam

    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.
