TheStakeHolder:
What do people who buy old social media accounts use them for?

This has become a trend. You see people asking to buy old Facebook and Twitter accounts for between 5k to 7k.

Is it safe to sell your old social media accounts?

Are these accounts used for fraud? If no, then what exactly are these accounts used for.

What can these old social media accounts do that the new ones cannot?

Anyone with good knowledge of this should please educate the house.

I'm sure a lot are in the dark about this.

Mods please let people know about this on going trend.
Old social Media account are used for internet fraud....

It's mainly used by Yahoo boys. Older accounts are less likely to get banned than new accounts.

Sweetamara2:
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.


LOL you're so far from the truth

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.

No long talk u b Yahoo boy �
