Why Do Nigerians Buy/sell Social Media Accounts And What Are The Implications? by docdes: 6:16am On May 08, 2021 |
Also, why does the age of the account matter? It just sounds fishy to me. Let's say I have an Instagram account with 3k followers. The 3k followers include my family, friends, and fans. Then, I sell it to someone else? What are the implications? 3 Likes |

I will like to know too because the amount is usually a paltry sum. Could it be hunger? 10 Likes |

The implications are, Your contact list would first be their victims of scamming. Your name will be used to scam people.. Your name and pictures might be on wanted list without you knowing The age of the account is important cos such can be easily trusted than new account.. 23 Likes 3 Shares |

I don't know much about their reasons but common sense tells me it is used either for business or fraud purposes For business: You just convert the name to your business name, and since the account has large followers, it will be easier to introduce your business to large people. For fraud: Most fake/fraudulent accounts are new and doesn't have large followers. So it is easier to convince a gullible person-your victim and defraud him/her, since your account is not new. 15 Likes 1 Share |

Scam, Scam and More scams. Should the account you sold or buy be used in a dubious act... It's not very difficult for cybersecurity fingers to point to the original owner amd soon enough, the buyer. Many who sell are cajoled into doing so on the promise that all your information will be deleted and the account made a blank slate.... But na lie. Facebook has its backup and e nor go had to find you 4 Likes |

helinues:. U dont knw anything.. They buy old accounts because they are less easily busted. When they finally buy or hack your account, they simply edit it and start bombing. It's very unlikely that they will use your face to scam people.. |

It's mostly for fraud. The age of the account matters in two ways; 1 - It would take some take for Mark to bust an account of 10yrs old when he notices fraudulent activities * although this one no longer holds* Mark is on viper mode. 2 - An account of 10 yrs has a probability of having 2k posts or 5k+ for the females, so they edit these posts to their own contents thereby making their prey believe they are legit since they have been in the crypto business or been using it for a long time. Las Las na for scam. Say No to Fraud. 4 Likes |
