Is there an account buying guide?

[Slippin_Jimmy]

I do want to purchase an account but I'm not sure how to go about it. I see a signed message saying you own the account is nice, means that it counts as proof that they changed the ownership over to you. But is there anything else or is that the only way to officially get an account? Does changing the email afterwards mean they can't get it back? It's pretty scary to buy an account even if it's only like $5. Nobody wants to pay for something and then have it taken away.

Well, there is no official way that you can get an account. However, you can always request a signed message from the other party so that you know the account isn't hacked nor is he going to claim it was hacked.

Just deal with a trustworthy guy and you should be ok.

There is no guideline in account buying but in securing an account, you need to follow your own security precautions. Ask for a signed message so he can prove that the account is his an is not hacked or illegaly obtained. Change the email because there is a recovery option for that and you wouldn't want him to get access to that.

Use an escrow to take a deal, here escrow list on this forum: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=855778.0
Sign message is necessary too.

Theirs no account buying guide and kiyoshi is right there use escrow so you will not be scam by fraudster and i think neotox is available and accepting account trading and other escrows are not accepting it. Contact them up and surely they can help you to do successful transaction.

You need access to both the account and email. Then change the password, delete the old email account and use a fresh one. Then all is well.

First of all if you have access to know the account username you want to buy then try search for its all posts, if there is any pending loan of it, any scam accusation etc. Otherwise require this from the escrow to check it for you. Once you get the details of the account(after buying it) you should change the email and password. By this nobody can change the password or email except admin.

Just always use escrow so that you are far from scammers many scammers out there so beware.. and i think escrow will guide you sign message is always needed if the account is already steak address..

If you want to buy for safe there is a escrow to use they are guiding you for buying account.. sign message or whatever needs.. seller will be send first i think or if you are newbie maybe you are send first and the account with signmessage will give to you..

Account buying can be risky even if you have access to email and passwords. The buyers usually sell the accounts that have red trust or loan defaulters. These things are not disclosed at the time of buying. So you should be very careful in buying the accounts.

[Slippin_Jimmy]

Thanks for all the great info guys. So basically after you get the account and it doesn't have an address assigned to it and you change the password and email it is yours

[CoinHopper]

Buying an account is so stupid. Why do you want to buy one when you can have one for free?

[enhu]

What is the purpose of buying an account?  if you can just rank your site yourself, do it. FFollow the rules and honestly trade with someone and you'd be reputable enough in the end.

Thats why he needs escrow to make his deal secure but buying accounts is been discouraged by mod and respective people in this furom since it was been used by fraudster to scam people here in furom and be carefull on buying accounts because you might get red trust for that doings,

And my suggestion is try to rise a newbie account it maybe hard and it takes months to join in sigs but its alright aslong as your doing legal things in this furom.

If youlook at the Auctions section, there is a thread that provides Guidelines about how to auction accounts, plus also tips for the buyer:

You just need the account name and pass word to access the acccount, then you change the password and the email address.

I think you don't need the email access to delete the old one just change the email and password also check the question part if there's some text there and deleted it also delete the answer just make sure that your account cant recover from someone.
