Hello all! i purchased an account using a middle man. I transferred the money and the other party did the account. The mm says hes going to do a recovery test, and should take up to 2-3 days. I was curious as if it should take about that long.

 

how long should a mm hold an account you are purchasing for? this ones telling me 2-3 days to make sure its secure.

Unless the MM is also holding the other person involved in the sale's money, the MM should NOT hold the account. Have sold a couple of accounts here and I have never heard of that practice.

Who is the MM? Can you link his sythe here, because that sounds extremely weird.

using a mm to do a test recovery isn't weird at all.

Typically if you're the buyer you're the one who in the past would request a recovery test. Now recovery tests mean absolutely nothing the original owner can always recover it with a few emails to Jagex. This practice has been inefficient for a long time and since it was an unrequested recovery test that seems very suspicious. Please use the report a scammer section.

Looks like RV5 was his MM and the trade is now done.
