#### The Problem

A reader has been playing a game called “FruitMaster Crazy Match” and was told that a payment was deposited to their PayPal account on the 23rd of the current month. However, they haven’t been able to find any record of this deposit in their PayPal history.

Before taking action, the reader did the sensible thing—checked to see if there were any issues mentioned by other players of this game. They looked for reviews online to see if this was a common problem or if the game had a reputation for being fraudulent.

#### What You Should Do

Firstly, take a deep breath and stay calm. Here are some steps that you can take to resolve this issue:

1. **Check Your PayPal Account Carefully:**
– Ensure you are looking in the correct account and section. Sometimes, deposits might be listed under other sections like “Sent to a Friend” or “Pending”.
– Check for any pending transactions as well, which might take some time to clear.

2. **Verify with the Game:**
– Contact the game’s support directly. Provide them with the relevant details and if possible, screenshots proving that the game promised the payment would be made.
– You can also look for an FAQ section or a troubleshoot section where similar issues may have been addressed previously.

3. **Check Your PayPal Settings:**
– Log into your PayPal account and review your settings. Check if your email notifications are enabled and make sure there are no filters that might be hiding important messages about your transactions.
– Also, ensure your account’s anti-fraud security features are not blocking the transaction. If they are, you might need to verify your identity or contact PayPal support.

4. **Look for Patterns in Player Reviews:**
– The fact that you’ve already reviewed other player feedback is a good step. Keep an eye out for patterns. If there are lots of negative reviews, especially regarding not receiving promised payments, it could be a red flag.

5. **Consult PayPal’s Dispute Resolution Services:**
– If you believe that you were promised a payment and you have evidence that illustrates this, you can use PayPal’s dispute resolution services to report the issue.
– It’s important to document everything. Take screenshots, save emails, and keep track of all communications.

6. **Report a Claim if Necessary:**
– In the unfortunate event that you have not received your payment and cannot get a satisfactory response from the game developers, you might need to consider reporting the game to your country’s financial authorities or to PayPal directly as a fraud case.

#### Preventative Measures

– **Read the Terms and Conditions Carefully:** Whenever you engage with a game, ensure you fully understand the terms and conditions, including any pay-to-play aspects or prize payouts.
– **Avoid Unknown or Little-Known Games:** Especially if the game promises significant wins, it’s safer to avoid unknown or poorly reviewed apps.

In closing, always act with caution when engaging in online games that offer monetary rewards. And in situations where you encounter financial discrepancies, don’t hesitate to document and seek the necessary help.

Remember, the internet can be both a great source of entertainment and a risky one. Stay informed, stay smart, and play responsibly.
