Hi. Recently I haven't been myself lately and let me tell you why. Im usually not a gullible or easily tricked person, however... there's a site called PlayerUp for account marketing. You can trade or sell accounts there for a variety of different games. However in order to sell you have to perform a simple background check and upload ID. There's also ranks on your seller level which depends on the amount of transactions.
I am for example a bronze seller. Well, I was browsing for an OSRS account and came across another bronze seller who was also verified with ID. I took it into consideration as he was offering a 15% discount if done of the site. Me being the person that wanted to save money and since I kind of trusted that he had that bronze and verified, I took up the deal.
I sold my PS4 Pro to get some of the money for this. The other half I borrowed from a relative.
We started talking and everything, he was all cool and such. Was very respectful and understanding. We came to an agreement for me to buy him the amount of money thr account was worth in OSRS gold. So me being stupid I went ahead and typed his name for the delivery on a popular gold site.
$730 CAD (1.05B OSRS gold) later... he went offline (but he didn't block or delete me). My first thought was oh, since he's in the Netherlands maybe he went to sleep. It's been 6 days now and he's been suspended from PlayerUp and they're also releasing his ID to me. I've already had his email released to me. I searched through a database but couldn't find any results.
The fact that I sold my PS4 to trust someone enough that I'd get an OSRS account so I could return to the game without having to start all over again..
I'm on disability income. I barely get by in life. And im not here trying to make you all feel bad. I just wanted to share this. NEVER trust a person just because they have a badge. Thanks for reading this...
