Hey guys,
Just letting you know about how I was scammed so that it hopefully doesn’t happen to anyone else on here looking at selling accounts.
I advertised my travel Instagram account on fameswap.com. A site commonly used to sell/buy Instagram accounts. I found a buyer who was keen on the account. The buyer wished to complete the transaction through fameswap escrow - which we both unfortunately assumed would be legit and trustworthy.
As per the escrow requests the buyer sent in their money to the escrow member and I sent my OG email and password to the escrow (third party) member as well as my Instagram username and password.
The escrow third party member has then changed all the passwords, recovery email and phone number and everything. They have then told the buyer that I was not a legit seller and that incorrect information was sent to them and that I was dodgy. I’ve been fighting this for the last 2 weeks with the email provider and Instagram with no luck.
The buyer has also had issues with the site also and they are now only allowing him to use his money as store credit. He is along my side and knows how dodgy they are. We are trying out best to spread the knowledge of how dodgy this website is.
Please do not buy anything from here. I’ve lost my highly active account and he’s almost lost his $1300USD.
Please spread the message about these scumbags
if anyone has anywhere else where they think this information would be useful please let us know. We want our responses to be high up on the search engine when anyone else searches famrswap to help prevent this from happening to anyone else!
Thanks,
Sam
