Did you get the email associated with it?
The process was done through Brand Account and after 7 days the channel ownership was transferred to me.

The case you mentioned has happened a lot. When the user develops the channel to the top, the old owner finds every way to get his channel back. Therefore, immediately after getting the channel, you should change your password, enable 2-layer verification, and convert personal/organizational information data into your personal/organizational information. Such as phone number, email,... so that if there is any problem, the system needs a confirmation code sent to your contact method.

Always make sure you were given the relevant information needed to solidify your ownership of the account. Then you'd want to make sure the account has been linked to your email, number, etc. Also, only buying from trusted sellers is a good rule of thumb to go by.

First thing change recovery email, phone, and add 2FA right away. Also update AdSense/brand ownership details to your info. I’ve seen cases where old owners tried to reclaim channels, but if everything is secured and tied to your accounts, it’s much harder for them to succeed.
