"The only method against getting scammed is to insist on using escrow for any transaction you ever do."
Rising price of accounts will stop many people from buying, but I don't think that will completely solve the problem. For any kind of trading use trustworthy escrow, and inform yourself about person you do business with. We cant do nothing more.
Technically speaking, that doesn't really solve anything. Since we're assuming that the sold accounts with Legendary rank belong to members who have properly earned them, then there's no reason to not assume that the chosen escrow holder's account itself is not a sold account.
I believe that the best -- for lack of a more suitable word -- solution to this epidemic would be to revert any account that has been proven to have changed ownership back to Newbie rank. It would definitely be a major deterrent to the account selling industry if account buyers were to lose the very thing that they paid for, while still leaving the account itself more or less intact.
Selling bitcoin account isnt risky if first somebod pay you and then you give him bitcoijtalk forum account username password and email username and password.Never give account and then receive payment nobody dont sell nothing with that way online.
Oh, look! A newbie who posted without reading a single post on the thread! He didn't even bother reading the OP itself. If I was an evil mastermind, I'd urge everyone to PM this newbie telling him to read the OP and other members' posts before posting because posting without reading is just a different form of spamming. If I was a sly evil mastermind, I would do that but end this post with a winky face emoji to let other members know that they should take my urging seriously. Too bad I'm neither evil nor sly. Oh well.
...winky face emoji.
