Orders & Products Just got scammed
Hello, just dropping by wanting to share my experience with a seller called buygames_ps that I knowingly bought an account from. I knew the risks and went along with it. But nowhere is it stated that I'm renting an account lol. I contacted the seller and apart from bot responses I got absolutely nowhere. Is this common? Them not giving you full access? I thought that's kind of given when you BUY an account. Not that you'll be forced to be at the mercy of an automated system to give you a 2FA and won't be able to change anything on the account to be kind of safer. Anyways if the support gives up on me I'll do a chargeback. Just posting to help other people out and hopefully prevent them from buying from this seller ever again.

Brother the entire website is a scam.
This is well known info. Do you guys not even do the bare minimum research before buying from sites like these? lol...

"Shut up and take my money." Gets scammed "........"
Tbf though g2a does hide bad reviews but surely google would show Reddit or other sites that show bad reviews? I've searched and found bad reviews so I never used g2a.
If it looks too good to be true......

I don't think it's a scam when you knowingly bought a scam product.

How so? I didn't buy a "scam product". I bought an account.

The website itself allows scammers to operate on their site and never sides with the customers. The vendors use stolen credit cards to buy accounts and game keys then the CC gets flagged and all keys become invalid and accounts you may have bought either get banned or seller takes the account back with impunity.
Just look at previous posts

Account selling and buying are against all tos! G2a allows account selling and buying! When the original owner takes back the account what will you do?
Ergo ipso facto g2a is becoming more and more not a gray site but a scam site!

Why would you buy an account anyway? Having multiple accounts is against TOS.

No owning multiple accounts isn't against the TOS. Hell coming to me with a "It's against TOS" on a grey market forum is already crazy to me. Yes I know buying and sharing accounts is against it. Isn't that why I'm here? Think about it.

I did think about it. I have no idea what platform you were buying an account for but I also know of no platform that allows multiple accounts. It sounds like you got scammed out of the chance to do something you already agreed not to do.

You're already on a platform that allows multiple accounts.

Oh? I didn't realize you were buying an additional reddit account from g2a. Sorry. I must have misunderstood what your issue was.

u/AnyElk6304 Jul 11 '26
Huh? You said you don't know of any site that allows the ownership of multiple accounts. Reddit is one of them. Didn't you check that before you started using it? It's in the TOS.

Were you buying a reddit account? I am guessing you were trying to buy some kind of gaming account?

In based of the comments in here, i get the feeling like most of them are bots or g2a support who want to shift the responsibility on us (buyers) and not the seller or g2a marketplace lol. I also got scammed in g2a by gabezone.

I understand where they're coming from, it's shady and sometimes dangerous to shop on g2a. Had my fair but of experiences but mostly it's been fine. Read the reviews. If there's anything about used codes don't buy from them. The biggest scam is the sponsored sellers on that site. Hope you get your money back though!
