Be aware if buying an account

[Roxterrio]

I’m not able to reply in the thread directly, so just wanted to warn everyone and perhaps save you some money!

Relating to this topic: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=2673750.0

This AccBuySell person is a scam. I verified with him that the account is not hacked, sent payment in the form of litecoin and now he is just ignoring.

You may say that this is my own fault and I should’ve done an escrow. This not the point of this topic though, I only want to let honest people know.

Never make a trade without escrow mate, this is F**K** jungle

A noob selling bitcointalk accounts in a self-moderated thread should be enough of a red flag for anyone with two neurons actively synapsing...but I guess we need explicit warnings here.

Account selling by itself is shady enough, and then we've got scammers in their own blackened, crusty layer on top of everything else.  Heed my feedback:  Account sellers are not to be trusted.  Exceptions?  Yes, but very rare. 

You people would do well to rank up the old-fashioned way, like most of the others did.  It takes time, effort, and a sprinkle of literary talent, yes, but it can be done.  I smack my forehead at the pervasive laziness here sometimes.

You're right of course.

But!

My point is - that account was not created yesterday, neither was the thread, and it gets bumped up frequently. We all know how strict the rules here are, and seeing that the thread is still up was the biggest legitimacy indicator for me. I'm 100% sure I was not the only one

So again - let's help to stop obvious scams like this all together.

That's where you are wrong, the staff here don't give a rats arse about people being scammed or scamming threads, they just ignore it.

It doesn't matter when a thread is created, that was your first mistake.

You need to look at all the indicators yourself, like threads being locked, self moderated threads, newbie posts, negative trust all of which your scammer has.

From my own experience I can see that you’re right. I actually pm’d to both moderators and haven’t gotten any response yet. This almost makes me think they are related to this shady business...

There are escrow system on here Or you can also chose other escrow based marketplace like to bitify.com or blakchatforum
My view is if you are on dought than you must go with escrew based .
