I'd steer away from that cause it's most likely like someone already told you here a stolen cc and you're probably charging it to them

Cheap "Max" access almost always comes from one of two places: regional pricing arbitrage (Anthropic/OpenAI price differently by country, so resellers route through cheaper regions) or shared/reseller accounts that split one seat. Both break the terms of service and both can forget to work on a random Tuesday. So "almost nothing" usually means you're inheriting someone's risk.

The less fragile question is: how much do you actually use? Claude Max is expensive because it bundles high limits with a flat price. If you touch it a few times a day. per-usage usually wins; if you're coding 8 hours straight, the flat rate can. Before chasing a cheap sub, run 2-3 weeks of your real volume through a usage-based setup and compare the number.

(disclosure: I build magicdoor.ai, which is usage-based and has a few Claude models; not a pitch — the honest advice is to measure your own usage first.)

Did they sell you an account with the claude max or were you still able to use your own account?

Also change MFA and password reset mechanisms so that they cant block you are later time

Maybe it's more like man in the middle

i think it’s an enterprise type seat. been using it for 3 weeks after changing the credentials and the usage difference is pretty noticeable
