We wanted to make a public statement regarding allegations against Fameswap. A lot of users on our site get contacted through direct messages by scammers, scammers pretending to be official escrow representatives, which they are not.
Until recently, our resources to fight bad actors inside the messaging system were limited. Going forward, we made multiple hires and are monitoring messages and activity of all users daily. We hope this will put an end to malicious behavior that went unmonitored, we hope to prevent scams and ban them before any damage is done to our users.
Lack of proper communication and contact from our team caused a lot of confusion, and why threads like this started to appear on the forums. We are working on opening up proper contact channels, and hoping that we can serve our users better as a result.
If anyone has any specific questions, we will be happy to answer.
If you actually read through that thread, there are users leaving positive testimonials about successful Fameswap Escrow transactions.
The OP (a seller) who created that thread is spreading false information, made up facts, and withholding a lot of important details from the public. The OP contacted us asking to pay them to delete that thread, trying to extort money from us.
Because we respect our users privacy and protect both buyers and sellers, we didnât discuss details about that specific case in public. But since the seller is attempting to extort money from us, we will reply to that thread to set the record straight.
Why donât you reply on that thread and tell everyone that OP is extorting money from you guys, it will impact more there, not here. Or youâre replying here just because this thread is ranking on Google?
When everybody have doubt about your service, then you guys came to make your points, instead you should solve such a thing initially, thatâs my opinion.
The original poster of the thread you linked to was deceived by a scammer and tricked into believing they were contacted by official escrow team through simple messaging system between buyer and a seller. They provided no evidence that they actually spoke to a member of our team, or had any ongoing escrow transactions with us.
He said he lives in Albania and PayPal has restrictions in his country and wouldnât be able to withdraw the money for 21 days and he doesnât wanna wait. Big red flag when he offer money gram or western union, he does own a bunch of 3-4 other account with 50-500k followers @mrsmith
Man. This just smells funny. Albania, wonât use PayPal. Whatâs a contract going to do? Where are you going to sue him? Itâs under 10K anyways and in America thatâs a small claims court. No way Iâd send a money gram. Just my 2 cents bro.
Fame Swap is home of scammers. Based on what I experienced if you guys need to buy an account you should do it trough another party otherwise likely 90% you will get scammed if you deal with the person direct.
Socail Tradia and Flipmass are decent places since I have buy and sell some accounts there but they charge you.
You can report scammers through Fameswap and our team will ban them rather quickly.
Everyone who used our escrow service and followed the rules came out happy.
We have many happy customers which you can find on our sold page (in the footer).
elysian11 attempted to defraud the buyer and violated Fameswap terms of service on multiple occasions. The seller repeatedly spammed through Fameswap and solicited Fameswap users with competitor services AFTER their escrow was shut down.
Regarding his escrow, after we secured funds from the buyer, we attempted to access sellers account with details that the seller provided, before logging into the account we checked if account was active on instagram and to our surprise it was not on instagram and not live, it appeared as if the account was banned. We did not proceed further. We immediately reached out to the seller to see what is going on and the seller started blaming us for stealing their account. The seller claims some Albania location which is evidently not related to Fameswap, all Fameswap staff are located in USA as seen on our contact page.
The funds have been refunded to the buyer.
elysian11 claims to have reported the account stolen to Instagram and recovered it, but something tells us the seller is not honest here and covering up details. Due to amount of IP addresses and proxies they used on Fameswap, and spam messages they sent through our platform, we have reason to believe the seller is either working for a competitor trying to discredit our brand, or they are a scammer themself.
After the incident, elysian11 continued using Fameswap to solicit users and offer them to come off the platform and use sketchy tactics. We have one instance where another buyer was defrauded by elysian11, this seller started ignoring buyerâs messages after the buyer sent in the funds.
If anyone has any questions regarding this case or needs more details, you are welcome to contact us through our website.
