    IF A USER IS SUSPENDED, DO NOT DO A SALE WITH THEM.

    IF A USER IS LINKING YOU TO A DISCORD SERVER, DON'T GO ON IT - IT'S A SCAM 99.999% - ask them if they use middleman and they'll always say no while only accepting non-refundable payment methods.

    If they force you to go up-front and refuse middleman and have no feedback. It's most likely a scam.

    If they're a new account selling an account for VERY cheap and it seems to good to be true. IT IS, IT'S A SCAM.

    If they only accept payment in Amazon, gift cards, crypto, or force you to send as friends & family with NO feedback - it's most likely a scam.

    If the account is sold for 10-50$ and it's a skull trooper, ghoul trooper, or renegade raider.... You're being scammed. You'll never get the account or the account is cracked and the original owner will take it back. Don't buy it, I'm telling you now. These people don't care about you once the account is recovered.

    Every ACCOUNT on Fortnite can be recovered by the original owner at ANY time they want. IT DOES NOT MATTER IF YOU HAVE THE ORIGINAL E-MAIL. If you go through Middleman, 3 months down the road your account can be recovered. Don't ask me how... I'm not telling you. Just know it's possible. There is no stopping it. If you buy an account, buy it through middleman and get INSURANCE COVERAGE.

    BUY OFF TRUSTED INDIVIDUALS OR GO THROUGH MIDDLEMAN IF YOU'RE BOTH NEW TO THE SITE.

    There are countless scams in the Fortnite section currently and you're going to either lose your money, your time, or both.

    When buying the account, do NOT get screenshots. Make them log-on the account and show it to you in the game. ADD THEM, and make them show the skins in lobby. This right here will make half the scammers not bother since they're just stealing pictures.

    DO NOT BE A VICTIM TO THESE SCAMMERS.

    This isn't saying that every user who has no feedback who's selling an account is a scammer. It's just a majority, and that's a sad truth. Do you want to risk that with your money? And even for the seller, do you want to risk your account sending first?

    PLEASE, be careful with your money. Regardless of how much this is moderated, we can't simply ban someone for being sketchy. Be weary, be careful, and most of all... be smart.
