Avoid selling your account for just a few bucks

[macson]

I understand there's a rule against showing other people's PMs, but it seems like I need to do that this time. It just bothers me that this idiot keeps asking me if I'm selling my account. It's kind of disgusting, because he understands that buying and selling accounts on this forum is strictly prohibited, yet he still asks people if their accounts are for sale.

Maybe some of you get messages like this, and are interested in the message of getting some bucks by selling your account, but that is a disgusting act- is it really worth it to sell your account, knowing that someone else can make more than what you got? You need to understand that these people can use the account to earn more money by joining the signature campaign, or want to apply for a loan and then exit this forum.

And for those of you who want to buy an account, just stop doing that because it's a waste of your energy. You might want to skip the effort of building an account from scratch, but it's just plain stupid to buy an account when you can build it yourself.

It's not good to buy account. I'd rather create an account that buying account. I have received a PM on telegram asking if I want to buy an account but I refuse. For selling account is that I don't know if there are lots of people who are willing to buy but my advice is that they shouldn't buy account because no matter what rank it is when your knowledge isn't good. Selling account will only make more people who will only spam since they can join signature campaigns rather than joining on discussions, sharing knowledge and crypto news.

The account in question have a tag for account ownership change.

Rules number 29: Such unwanted Pm can always be reported as an unsolicited PM

No it’s not, buying of account is allowed but the community just encourage it, by the forum rules it’s allowed but they are highly discouraged.

And for those of you who want to buy an account, just stop doing that because it's a waste of your energy. You might want to skip the effort of building an account from scratch, but it's just plain stupid to buy an account when you can build it yourself.

If it’s waste of energy they won’t be doing it, those involve are just willing to take the risk, either they could be able to make the money back before getting busted or they get burned immediately the account switched hand,

It's most likely an account farmer. It already has a tag from nutildah:

Reference

This account was purchased or hack in 2023, and possibly again more recently. Please do not accept these types of accounts in your campaign or contest.

Account sales are technically allowed based on the rules, since it can be easily done off-forum anyway. But once they are found, they almost always get tagged by DT.

18. Having multiple accounts and account sales are allowed, but account sales are discouraged.

Q: I saw a guy selling Bitcointalk accounts. Why is that allowed?
A: Since we can't effectively prevent these sales (proxies, TOR, sales on other forums), we don't because otherwise we would be giving the users a false sense of security.

I have received a PM on telegram asking if I want to buy an account but I refuse.

If someone sells an account, you must assume that it is already compromised/connected to another account. Otherwise, they can just make more money by joining it in a signature campaign.

Buying an account is discouraged, and you can do it if you think that you can keep your account purchase secretly and noboby know about it. And if you believe that after the account purchase, you can use that account well enough so that no forum members can see changes in posting style, language change, and post quality change.

Your account is only at Full member rank that does not worth too much and people can join the forum, learn about the forum, Bitcoin, cryptocurrency, make their posts better and higher quality with time. Through contributions, they will receive merit and rank up to Full member, that is a much better way of owning a Full member account.

Yes, it wants to trick you, so be careful of this scam. This account has changed hands, which is a hint and the neutral tag @nutildah has thrown. The @greek_hephaestus account seems very suspicious to me.
