    if the original owner has the first ever passwords, email, and billing info etc. Can't they recover the account 100% of the time? I just find it pointless you even attempt at looking to buy an account when it can be recovered no matter what you do.

    Accounts can always be recovered even years later by the original owner. Buy at your own risk and only from reputable members.

    This is why you buy from someone who is trustworthy.

    It doesn't matter. They can claim it is hacked. They have original creation day, ISP which matters the most.

    Doesn't matter what the "what-ifs" are. If the account wasnt made on your ip, you're at risk of losing it. Try and buy from people who you feel you can absolutely trust, but even then you're liable to get scammed. Sad truth of the account market. One rule of thumb for likelyhood of a safe account purchase is to buy from someone with the absolute most to lose if they scam.

    This whole "100%" is actually in-dispute with the current reuben vs Probemas vs I hate questing case currently going on.


    But the rule of thumb is What Andy said lol.

    You're going to be paying more for a good account, but it's coming from good hands.
    If it's cheap and ridiculous stats? it's probably going to be recovered.

    SO Probemas sold an account to IHQ, IHQ then sold the account to Reuben, who lent it out multiple multiple multiple times as a staker account. Reuben no longer has control of the account and Probemas claims he can no longer recover it, which puts suspicion into the fact that maybe one of the renters now has control of the account

    If he has his details old details like 'first internet provider, first password' etc, he can always recover it

    It honestly isn't 100% because things can pop up, but expect to never be in "full" control of an account you've purchased even though it is yours.

    This is why it's incredibly important to actually trust the user you're buying the account from, because at the end of the day you're not really buying their account, but paying them to not recover it.
