Fraudsters buy old social media accounts to advertise various scam to a large audience, posts might include anything from investment opportunities to items or services for sale. They will also send direct messages to people trying to extract money or personal data which can then be used to access bank accounts and cards.

Why you dey ask? Are you jobless?

Majority of buyers are fraudsters who buy old accounts especially Facebook for fraud purpose. And the others buys for business advertisement purpose, basically old IG account with lots of followers.

-Business Purpose

Some online business traders especially those in eCommerce regularly need old (Facebook and Instagram) to advertise their business; sometimes though, FB suspend or terminate their account(s) for violation of term of service, so they buy old accounts to enable them pay for Ads to get their business seen online.


-Fraud Purpose

These fraudsters (Yahoo Yahoo boys), are constantly online (fb, IG and other dating sites) surfing to find their next vulnerable victim (client) to defraud. This process is called BOMBING. You cannot bomb a website vigorously without the AI not flagging the account for suspicious activity. When FB AI flags the account suspicious activity, the account gets suspended and terminated. But a yahoo boy never gives up, he considers buying another (old account) as investment to enable him CASH OUT one day.


These set of people (old account buyers) cannot register new account because new accounts are sensitive to odd patterns which quickly triggers the AI for flagging and termination, And not to mention, getting a new phone number to verify new account is almost time consuming so they rather buy another old account.

Lol

You aren't street wise then

I believe its mostly for fraud. Have you ever checked your Facebook friend's list and seen white people (naija scammers obviously) and you don't remember sending a request to any oyinbo? The thing is Facebook usually blocks new accounts created by these fraudsters because they've marked their IP addresses. That's why they rather hack someone's account rather than create a new one. And also old accounts look legitimate. Their targets will easily fall victim to an account created in May 2009 than one created in May 2021.

Yahoo boys

.

They are used for fraud

Now waiting to learn from our social media gurus before I contribute.

E Taya me...

Waiting for our social media entrepreneurs to come and explain what they are doing with all accounts.

Older accounts are easier to use for fraud, marketing or generally anything that requires a lot of activity. This is so because the system is less likely to classify it as spam

Also people trust older accounts because it seems like you have been on for a while

This is my two cents

My face book is 2009 or so
And my Twitter is 2008

If I broke now I go just sell them and blow

Ask those who buy them.

.

This is a story of a 23-year-old who has made $120,000 buying and selling Instagram accounts

It’s his full-time job, and he’s flipped more than 1,000 pages

He sells the accounts on his website.
To flip a house, you buy cheap, add some value, and resell fast.
The same can be done on Instagram.

Users are purchasing Instagram pages, growing their followings, and then reselling them at a higher price for profit.
Buying and selling accounts violates Instagram’s terms of use.
But some of these users, like 23-year-old Ramy Halloun, have made flipping Instagram FB pages their full-time career.
Users who are found to have bought or sold accounts risk getting banned from the platform.

Halloun runs a website.
It’s a registered business that sells accounts.
He’s sold more than 1,200 pages and said he makes over $30,000 annually from the business. L
Thus far, he’s made a total of $120,000.

“I started selling accounts five years ago,” he said. “I created a fashion Instagram page because I like fashion. People followed it, and then I sold it for $30.”

Soon after he sold his fashion page, he found several Reddit forums where other users were trying to sell their accounts. He realized he could make some money. “I started making more accounts and reselling other accounts until I made a formal business,” Halloun told MarketWatch.

Go out there and make genuine money guys.
One love!
