What is the dispute about?
It's mostly my fault for trusting in them. It doesn't really matter if I don't get the account back but I do want others to take caution and don't trust people who come up with tricks like this.
The game they scammed me on is Identity V, they were trading a Kroto smurf and I contacted them via discord since it would be faster. After we had agreed to trade with one another, they told me they would get a middleman from a discord server. They told me the discord server was named "Victor's Letters" but after I searched it up on discord it didn't come up. I thought it would be because I needed an invite to the server and didn't pay much attention. After that, they created a group chat and added me so that the trade could be done. The middleman said they were a MM in training which made me feel a little fishy about it, but yet again I ignored it. The "middleman" contacted me and told me that they would need access to the account to make sure it was legit and that they would ask the other person the same thing. I asked them "How can I trust you are a real middleman?" and they showed me a screenshot of the server and how they had a label of "IT MM" which meant Middleman In Training. The "middleman" got access to my account and asked for proof that I signed out, which I did send, but through Instagram. The other person had sent their proof and when I logged into my new account (the one I traded for) there was no data. I contacted the "middleman" and they said they would solve it. After that, as usual, both of them ended up blocking me and stole my account.
I know this person was the "middleman" since in Epicnpc, their location is shown as the Netherlands and so was the Chromebook the "middleman" signed in from.
This person faked being a middleman to steal my account, and the whole server is probably a lie too.
Unfortunately, I don't have much proof to show since they unfriended me and I no longer have access to our chat. But I did take some pictures of them.
