Impossible to buy a steam accnt

All is well for a couple weeks. Then boom the low life who sold the account reports it stolen. Account gets locked and u cant do anything. Dont buy an account on this site

That's the risk when you buy any sort of account

Only purchase accounts from highly trusted members to lower the chances of being scammed.

Maybe your account got alerted / disabled because steam is fighting illegal sells and when that happens you are kinda fked :/

thats most likely what happened, if not please report the seller so he can get banned ^_^

The only way to guarantee that the low digit account is safely in your possession is if you have the physical paper copy of the original HL1 CD Key.

If the member selling the low digit has proof of purchase = HL1 , then he/she will be able to recover the account.

You guys need to realize when a steam account that has been inactive for several years if not almost a decade all of a sudden becomes active playing a game from an IP of a related steam account it has to throw some red flags...

Here's my method:

Buy account without a setup profile
Do -not- change password
Enable steamguard
Let account stay inactive for a while (over a month)
See if anyone attempts to login with the old password
If someone attempts, contact seller and give them the IP and they must refund or replace the account.

And maybe you should stop buying from these 1 post wonders : > People who dont know shit about steam security shouldnt be selling steam accounts because sooner or later all their accounts will get alerted.

@Xolr, I like your method.

you still log in the account and change the email, it could be disabled even if you leave it for a month or not tho, no REAL way to bypass it really

i think its quite a good way to see if the accounts is really inactive. And as long as you ONLY enable steam guard steam wouldnt know that it has been traded/sold. (Obviously it doesnt make sense if the seller logs in from a complete different location one day before it gets sold)
