How to check if a pin is valid without using it.

Now, many of you want to see if a pin is even going to work before you even pay for it. I have the solution.

Note: There is still a way to try this trick with used pins. Remember, always use an MM for your trades. This is only to be used in the case you must go first. There are two types of pins this will work with, PayByPhone (PBP) and SMS pins. Let's say you've bought an SMS pin and don't want to use it right that moment;yet you don't want to find out a week later that you have been scammed. If it's a UK pin, login as normal, until you get to the country select screen. Instead of the UK, pick any other country, such as the United States or Australia. You will attempt to apply the pin (Don't worry, it cannot be applied to your account by mistake.) If the pin is valid, you will get a message saying 'Invalid Payment Window.'. This means that the pin works, and all you have to do is switch to the UK window to apply it. By any means, if it says 'Invalid PIN', the person is supplying a fake pin and you should report them in the Report a Scammer section.

Happy buying!

 

It still says "Invalid Payment Window" after I tried a used pin :/.

 

I'll have to throw a note in there. Thanks.

E: Try putting it in the correct window and see what happens.

 

good advice ty for that

 

Thanks mate. Should be a sticky =]

 

Thank you,really good Now,there will be less scamms maybe

 

TY man!! it now helps me when i try!

 

Yeah thats good, i reckon it should be stickied too if that used pin thing is checked up.

 

Yeah, I haven't checked on that. If someone could, that'd be great .

 

ty man

 

The trick is old, reason it's barely used is because if a pin has been used it will still say incorrect payment window.

There is no way to check if a pin has been used or not, which is a larger risk than getting a fake one.

 

tell us something we ont already know
