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.

Anyone asking to buy your old Facebook account is out to use it for fraud purposes. Old accounts are like those old pendulum clocks that was much sought after few years back. They have something, like a security feature that makes impersonation easier compared to the newly created ones. In essence, don't ever sell for any reason. You might just get yourself in trouble.

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.

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. Hmm Things the happen for this life sha
