hello fellas, i am new to this forum i made my account as i was searching for answers to this:
i know you guys have all talked about instagram verification and scams and all. what no one on here has touched based on is what if i buy one of those empty accounts less than 200 followers and random username that is already verified.
i guess my questions is, has someone done this before. does the verification blue check stick meaning will it not go away? also how is this account verified to begin with. dont ask me as i dont know how chime in if you know how it was verified. but i know it has for a fact been verified since february 25th 2019.
is this safe to do if they include the original email with it?
i am aware i wouldnt be able to change username and im okay with that.
i forgot to mention the account is private too, has less than 200 followers and follows 1 person and has zero posts. but again it is verified. how? the seller is also willing to use escrow service,
it doesnt seem like a scam at first glance i guess my questions are 2
1 do you think its a scam if so how? since i would be using escrow service,
2 if it isnt a scam and i legitimately get the account would the blue check mark go away or something?
I’ve seen dozen accounts like those on other forum. They talked about it, but nobody mentioned they actually bought any of them and how it went.
If they’re not expensive, it’s worth trying with one account and see what are your options there, can you change the username without losing verified badge and can you change it at all after it’s verified.
It’s weird, a lot accounts that look exactly as you described have verified badge… They look just like someone from IG was doing some tests and created them in bulk If that’s not the case, then someone found really good method to get verified.
So, if you’re gonna use some kind of escrow service and it doesn’t cost much, go for it. It’s worth a try.
yeah those accounts are just weird. and it is in fact expensive 4.5k but im willing to pay it if it works, i would use escrow so im not scared on that end of a scam.
im more worried about paying and them sending me the account details and later loosing the blue check mark. i wonder how those accounts become verified.
and no you cannot change username but im okay with that
That’s exactly the thing I’m afraid of. I guess to be sure I could collect all sorts of info on the seller themselves in hopes that’ll deter them from scamming me. Sure there’s no for sure way but maybe if I get like a home address and ID it’ll help in tracking them down. Assuming they give me real details.
This specific person told me he does this a lot and all the time. (Selling the accounts) he works for a marketing company and that’s how they get clients of them verified who don’t care for Instagram and thus they can sell the account. I’ve literally had zero pressure from him about buying it it’s been a couple of days since I haven’t contacted them and I previously told him I was really really interested.
Him not putting pressure kind of makes it believable. You know damn well that a scammer who knows someone is on the verge of spending that much would keep pressuring into the sale.
Thanks a lot for that input. I’m definitely being cautious. The only difference is he has 3 accounts. All of them are verified and little to no followers, no posts. He has talked to me from all three of the verified accounts too.
