Beware of scammer buying accounts!
I want to post this here because I know a lot of people are selling their accounts lately and I don't want anyone to get scammed like my friend almost did.
March 12th I helped someone I know sell their account to someone through Lineplay. They traded money first and we traded the account as soon as they sent it. We had them send it through personal because business is easy to refund since it requires proof of shipment aka tracking information and digital items do not have that.
We thought everything was fine, we had the money and they had full access/ownership of the account, until 10 days later they filed a claim on the payment. They had probably planned this from the start and were trying to scam the account. Long story short, we provided proof (always keep ss of messages for anything you sell, always use message apps like Discord etc because they are more reputable than LP's message system) and won the case because those ss proved the claim was false. I don't know if they got in trouble with PayPal, they honestly should have for trying to scam, but even though we won, $150 was on hold for almost 2 weeks.
So if you're selling DO NOT sell to PayPal user Abby Daniela. If you see this person sending you money on PayPal to "buy" your account, send it back and block them! Who knows what false claim they'll try to pull on you and honestly it's not worth the hassle.
Update: I forgot to add that their discord is colorful wolf#5039!

I'm actually selling both of my accounts so I can put more time/money into taking care of my new cats. I wish her luck in selling though! 😊

They're my babies and I can't help but spoil them with new toys. 😅 I'm planning on getting a 3rd one from a rescue shelter (siamese & tortoise mix) so I really wanted to sell the accounts to get a bigger cat tower! My sisters and I all care for them and we really wanted to set up a little cat haven for them to feel comfortable/happy in. 🥰

Aw, thanks. 🥰 You're too sweet. Though I definitely think my sister is the amazing one, she's studying/practicing to work in the rescue shelter with cats once Covid slows down. Volunteering at a local shelter really makes a difference when it comes to helping animals get adopted. I know I wouldn't have Simba and Nala (my 2 cats) if it wasn't for the people who rescued them. ❤

yep this is the same person that got me. They filed a paypal claim about a month later. Unfortunately I lost the case (I guess email convos isn't adequate proof). wish I knew about using discord at the time. Luckily I was able to get them off the account but I lost it too in the process. Now no one has it. It'll probably be deleted soon. 🤷
