[Fortnite Accounts] Buying Advice [CAUTION] [What you should know before buying one]

[TylerHigbeer]

Now this may seem retarded, but it isn't, read my reasoning as well along with everything.

Buying Fortnite Accounts

It is literally NOT worth attempting to buy an account. It is so easy for the other person to take back the account. It doesn't matter if you go first, or last, or use a middleman. I have seen so many people get scammed buying Fortnite Accounts. When people say, "Do not buy fortnite accounts", it's true, don't. You think you got a great deal getting a skull trooper account with so many skins for only $60!?!? $500?!?!? No you didn't, you're just getting scammed. The chances of finding someone legit is so unlikely, on any marketplace or website. Unless they are your IRL friend, or very close friend, I guess that's fine, but don't buy an account from anyone online. The Risk to Reward is not worth it.

People on MCM for example, they may be selling you an account with so many cool things! The problem is, these people may of bought Premium, or Supreme ranks (That are only $10 to $25, only a portion of what they would make off the account), and maybe have a few hundred messages with maybe reputation here and there. Seems legit, right? Nope, 90% of the time it will be a scam. It's a foolish trick so many people that want Fortnite Accounts that are OG, but it's nearly impossible to get one legit.

Keep note that it is against Fortnite's TOS to buy Fortnite Accounts. So if you were to tell your friends, announce it, etc, your account might just get banned.

Conclusion for Buying Fortnite Accounts

[+] Great stuff, great reward!
[-] Risk is huge, even when they seem legit, or have lots of rep.
[-] They might not act unreal / sketchy, they may even treat you amazingly well! That doesn't mean it's real.
[-] On MCM, people may just be a banned old member that snuck back onto the Website. Problem is, you may not even know that, and they could easily pull another scam.
[-] They could get onto your account after purchase and just request epic to disable it, or ask for the account back, EVEN IF you have the email to the account.

90% of the time, it's a scam.

You say that 90% of the community scams with fortnite accounts, and also say that it is super easy to take them back but you legit don't list how.

The scammer or user of the account could easily email Epic to get the password back to his/her account, which would give him access back. He could even just have a backup email to his email that is included with the account and request a new password for that.

Yes, but without a verification from the email they won't issue the account back, I sold an account, got scammed, then tried to do this but they respond 3 weeks later and say they can't help.

Also sold another account I bought, however the og mail was false, so I tried to transfer it, yet once again, I needed a verification. I believe that any deal is safe if you take the correct safety precautions to secure an email.

Yes, but they could have a backup email setup to get their password for their email that is linked up with the account. Trust me, it may not seem very realistic, but a lot of these people do that type of thing.
