I checked among the threads that the said user created in the past, and I can't even find where a thread of exchange account selling is made by the OP. 
 
And by the way, I was in favour of buying an exchange account when you can just create one for yourself and pass the verification if you truly want to make use of one.
 
At least you were vigilant enough to detect scams when you saw one. If every other person who wants to make a deal with an untrusted user can make the use of escrow compulsory, the rate at which newbies fall into scam traps will reduce.

You have made five posts today but prior to that your most recent post was made in March 2023. You have made this scam allegation against a member I had never heard of before (Millinillion) who himself has not posted in the forum since May 2024. Something does not add up.

As there is no conversation between you and him in public posts that can be assessed, can you post screenshots of any PMs that were exchanged? If you are unable to provide any evidence how can your claim be taken seriously?

Never you send money for anything since we operate as anonymous here in the forum and there is no way to track anyone,  regardless of the trust rating of an individual also note that, anyone that can sell you an exchange account,  can also be operating under a bought account, you did well by requesting for an escrow answer since the user is declining, it is a pointer that you may be dealing with a scammer.

On a general note, why buying exchange account when you can actually create and own one which will be in your name.

This got me thinking but it's possible that he's from a country that's being restricted by that exchange or he's got an account there before but got banned. I was just assuming but either of it or any other reason like he doesn't want to use his own docs for verifying his own account. @OP, if you're eligible to make an account from that exchange, it's best to just use your own. Aside from you haven't included more details and proof that you're about to get scammed, you're putting yourself and your funds into trouble by using someone else's account.

Mind you, trading of accounts that require KYC information is banned in this forum, so if indeed you tried to trade with the other user, then you were going against the forum rules. What is the point of buying an account that you can just simply create yourself?

Also, an accusation without any form of proof will not be taken seriously here. If we also get to know that you were trying to cause malicious damage by falsely accusing a member, you will be tagged.

perhaps you missed my post of wanting to buy binance account
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5500348.msg64229665#msg64229665
secondly the  binance is not available in the region i want to use thus wanted a account with trading enabled there

i have seen the account buying and selling widely however i wasn't aware of that rule also obv if i am aligning the other person falsely he will come to defend him/herself secondly theres already a accusation against him by someone else

Basic Reasoning
i dont use bitcointalk i haven't even logged in since months if not years and dont do much of crypto anymore however i am in need of a crypto account and for that the only forum i know to get the account is bitcointalk and one other thus i logged in specifically to buy account , created a post and the scammer texted me on skype directly

I was too lazy to screenshot all the convo and upload it and tbh didn't gave much f abt it since again i dont use bitcointalk anymore i just made the post because the scammer will try to scam someone else too.

anyways alot of comments made me upload evidence so here it is

It's impossible to know who you spoke with if the person who contacted you via Skype never sent you a PM on Bitcointalk confirming their Skype ID. Alternatively, you can prove it's the same person if their Skype ID is the same as what they posted somewhere publicly on Bitcointalk.

No scam happened here, but perhaps there was an attempt. I guess we will never know. It does point in that direction. He keeps bringing up the age of his account compared to yours and how that makes him more trustworthy. Not necessarily.

Thanks for the warning, but this will not be enough for any further action.

Yes, what you mentioned is correct. Honestly, I checked Millinillion's posts and topics on the forum, and it is clear that he did not make his Skype ID public as a means to contact him, only his Discord and Telegram accounts, and he also did not offer an account exchange services; what I saw were social media services. This was strong evidence that the person who contacted the OP on Skype is a scammer, as the bitcointalk link he sent does not contain the service he claims to offer.

I'm glad the OP was vigilant and didn't send him his money first and asked him to go through one of the escrow service providers on the forum to guarantee his rights, which made the scammer angry. Also, the scammer refused to provide proof of owning the UK account, using silly excuses. I hope the OP will Refrain from the idea of ​​purchasing a verified exchange account because the scammer could cheat and steal the money he deposited by contacting the exchange support, or the account could be restricted and the funds frozen for violating exchange policies and terms.
