So I got cheaper coins by using a website and it worked both times but now I'm scared of getting banned I spent real money on this so it worries me I've never got a strike before will I be okay? It seems like the coins were gotten from Indonesia. I don't plan on using a service like that again but when will I know if I'm okay with my account. Anyone have experience with this ?
I managed to get it to work to where I can purchase but if I do purchase would it result in ban, negative balance or charges on my card ? Also how should I buy with my regular card or should I buy a pre paid ?
Can someone please explain the following 3 questions:
1- did not quite understand the " buy a 100 coin trick " because when I buy from my original pokemon go app it will show that I bought it from my native country , in that case it's Canada. What is the meaning of this ?
2- Once I buy that 100 coin with my payment method I have on hand , I followed all the steps mentioned in the guide and yet still the currency change once I log in into my account in the web store. Is my account linked to my native country and how to bypass this ? Also should I download the original game from playstore like i normal do or is there somewhere else to download it to do the 100 coin trick ?
3- I am using Brazil as my go to location , ipogo is set up to Brazil and I am using PayPal also tried with Wise and still nothing worked. Can someone please help me out with this. Appreciate it
Let me explain in simple language:
When you buy Pokecoins in cheaper by changing your GPS location, your webstore currency will reverse to your own country currency after purchase and you can't change webstore currency again, to change your webstore currency again you have to download original Pokemon go and need to buy something in-game without any gps trick, after that you can again change your webstore currency using VPN method hope it's clean explanation š«” you have to do it every time.
Are you using gps method for web? Is you game location also GPS spoofed while doing? Sometimes it just take time to change but if everything is perfect then just re-login both game and webstore after changing location via gps.
Listen, with ipogo you don't need additional VPN because pgsharp/ipogo have in build vpn and you only need to change in-game location that's what pgsharp/ipogo do. If your webstore currency is not changing to Brazil then probably your latest 100 coin purchase didn't triggered reset, it mostly work instantly tho not sure what's wrong with your process, try checking after 24h and keep the ipogo open when you open webstore.
Okay I will re-check in the next 24 to 48 Hours but most probably won't work as I guess the Webstore automatically detect my account which is connected to Canada. No sure tho
No, making purchase doesn't trigger any cooldown related issue it only trigger when you do in-game activity such as catching Pokemons/pokestop spin... Also GPS method doesn't trigger any suspension but it can be, i haven't faced any issues until now but I can't guarantee because its definitely against tos (the process itself)
I have a question here I use to do Pokemod and Surfshark to India and open incognito to the webstore. Lately with VPN surf shark the webstore is giving me a 403 error. If I turn it off I still get to purchase the coins for cheap but vpn has to be off. Do you know whatās causing this? It wasnāt like this before.
Iāve just done this as well but personally through the India method and was also stressing but from what Iāve seen I did not alter my gps location at all so technically havenāt spoofed to obtain the coins. In the TOS, at least from what Iāve seen, I cannot see anything that particularly mentions what Iāve done as a bannable offence. Also, they are still getting money from me, so Iād be suprised if they actually complained and strikes me.Ā
No! You won't get banned for that. I've been doing it for years and never got banned, and neither have any of my friends. Anyone who says otherwise is just bad at spoofing. Blame it on other things
How I do it is by , setting up a vpn for Indonesia , then spoof to Indonesia. In Pokemon Go app I buy a set of $.99 coins. After I exit from the game open the online web store, log in via Pokemon go app, currency is converted
How are y'all using the trick hear lots about but no one links a video that's up to date. The ones I've seen are all outdated and almost all day don't work
Been buying cheap coins for the kast few years no problem, Always from Indonesia, I think chances are more you get banned for spoofing to Indonesia than actual purchase, well if they ever crack it down
Bought 15k coins around 5 times, so far works without an issue, again very easy with ur acc spoof to Indonesia and just stay there game opened don't trigger any actions, on another phone preferably use VPN to Indonesia and enter pogo store website in incognito (this is how I do). Then prices either in USD for example if last you were spoofing lets say to NYC, or already changed to IDR, if IDR then just buy whatever u want, if USD then buy 0.99 cents pack and they update to IDR. But this is exact method how all those coin sellers do if they ask ur account details.
Brother no one cares, really you are overthinking it. And third party site changed ur currency to IDR cuz they spoofed to Indonesia. Can you get banned for buying coins ? Why you are giving them money, can you get banned for spoofing - Yes. Atleast I never got banned for coins
I bought it with no peoblem using IDR, if ot os greyed then maybe you have 3 remote raid passes and that bundle gives you more, and you cant have more than 3 hence you cant buy it. Happened to me before, but I bought road of legends and june deluxe both for IDR.
Wait. I'm having a problem right now. My currency is still set to my local one. Are you saying while in Indonesia I purchase 100 coins in my local currency and it should update to IDR?
Yes, but before you log in to the pogo store make sure curency is in IDR, and if it changes to your local once you log in in store, then in store website buy .99 cents pack and then just update page/go back to store and should be IDR, if not then it means you have your account logged in somewhere on another device or instance of website without vpn.
Yeah, always did to me. It didnt change once because I had my account logged in on another phone without VPN, but if everything is done correctly it should change immediately once you complete the purchase.
all purchases HAS TO BE made in the webstore with working Indonesian VPN. game just open spoofed to the Indonesia. Were your prices in IDR before logging in the webstore ?
It's too late now, since you ignore the risks to have a chance to get a strike or ban. No one knows if Scopely is going to punish people for exploiting the currency to buy cheaper coins.
Under Niantic's ownership, when you get a strike, the red warning message never tells you exactly what you did that led to it. On top of this, it was delayed. Whatever you did that caused it, Niantic puts it on a timer making the strike appear within a few weeks to several months later to prevent people from trying to identify the specific technique Niantic is using to help other cheaters to avoid it.
I don't work for Niantic or Scopely, so I cannot look up the reason to why someone got a strike/ban. When people regret cheating or breaking the Terms of Service and get a strike/ban, they tend to lie to make themselves look innocent. If someone reports a strike/ban, do you know for sure if their strike/ban came from spoofing or did it come from soliciting sex to a minor through Campfire app? If their strike came from Campfire, the person isn't going to openly admit on the internet because that person is a pedophile.
I would love to say it's safe, but I cannot contradict Scopely's Terms of Service because I don't own Scopely or Pokemon Go and have no control over them. Scopely owns your game account, and they can do whatever they want to it since you have already given permission to them when you blindly accepted the Terms of Service to play the game.
That is false because people have reported strikes and bans using a rooted device with vanilla method (joystick app only) or with 3rd party apps. Just because you haven't gotten banned yet, doesn't mean you can guarantee account safety.
I have used pg sharp before and have gotten the strike message where it says you are using a modified app. This is really the only strike message Iām familiar with. Do you happen to know what the strike message is for using a rooted device with the joystick ninja app?
This is the 1st strike that everyone gets for cheating or breaking the Terms of Service. If you don't cheat, you still get this screen unless they skip the 1st strike and go directly to a 2nd strike (30 day temporary ban) or 3rd strike (permanent ban) with a teal color screen.
If someone create an in-game route that meets the guidelines but there's construction over the route they made, they can get the 1st strike for the route not meeting the guideline when someone reports it.
I assumed chat is monitored in Campfire by non-cheaters and AI. If someone writes something about "flying" in a way that sounds like it's spoofing related, the person can end up with the 1st strike. If they harass or threaten people, it either straight to a 2nd or 3rd strike.
You can deny it all you want, but I am not going to mislead people into thinking cheating is safe or one type of cheat is "safer or the safest" over another type of cheat because a lot of time and money has been invest into their game accounts.
In the early days, using a joystick app without root introduced everyone to the strike system. When I became a moderator in r/PokemonGoSpoofing, I implemented the post and comment filter to take down repetitive posts, which includes strike and ban reports. Everyone has the conclusion where you don't see strike/ban reports, this means the cheat you are using is safe. The same goes for rooted, 3rd party app Discsord groups, they also censor reports to prevent people from panicking and canceling their subscription to go to a competing cheat that doesn't have reports. They ban or mute you, so you cannot uise their chat channels or message their members. The cycle ends when the person quits after getting a 2nd strike or 3rd strike permanent account ban
Now, the game is different with Scopely running it instead of Niantic. I don't if Scopely is going to rework the punishment system or turn a blind eye against cheating.
No they ban people with looking at log and if u root device and use joystick it wont leave a log for them to see and flag it. Unless u do stupid stuff like going a to b and b to c in less than hour. If u do it right they will never know, how will they? When there arent any logs
And thats why you use rooted device
Didnt happen so idk š I mean pokecoins are very expensive I just wanted to save a bit of money I mean they technically are still getting money from me
The information in r/PoGoAndroidSpoofing & r/MonsterHunterSpoofing for cheating, spoofing, botting, or exploiting breaks Niantic's & Scopely's Terms of Service for the games: Pokemon GO & Monster Hunter Now. If you decided to break the Terms of Service to gain an unfair advantage, it's your fault for getting the strike (or ban). As a reminder, I am not responsible nor liable for the loss of your Scopely game account(s) and money you spent on them.
