Spot Proxy Sellers & Avoid Scams

Learn how to identify shady sellers and protect your money when buying PSN accounts

Proxy Seller Warning

Most proxy sellers won't admit they're proxies. They'll claim accounts are "safe and owned by a friend" - a friend they met 2 days before posting the account.

How to Spot Proxy Sellers

Account Listing Red Flags

Unverified Screenshots

Proxy sellers post images showing:

  • PS App not logged in
  • Just the username with "Add Friend" options
  • No proof of actual ownership
Example of suspicious listing:
CoolUsername
Add Friend · Message · Party

Avoids Proof of Ownership

  • Won't log into the account for you
  • Won't put the name in bio (claims it's "not safe")
  • Says verification is "too long to do"

Why trust them with hundreds of dollars when they can't provide basic proof?

Suspicious Account Details

"OGU" in Username

  • Recently many proxy sellers put "ogu" in their name
  • Historically used to impersonate trusted sellers
  • Attempt to appear safe using high-reputation keywords

"Proxy sellers never surprise me with their innovation to appear trusted"

Game Progress Scams

  • Selling accounts with GTA progress already on them
  • Only possible with inactive accounts obtained directly
  • Won't be progress on og words or 4 letters, 99% of the it will be only barcode

Behavior Patterns

Mass Account Listings

  • Posting 10+ stories with 30+ PSN accounts each
  • All accounts are "OG" words, 3-4 letters

Account Recycling

  • Using an account as their main one day
  • Suddenly listing it for sale days later
  • Passing problems to buyers after finding issues

They bought an unsafe account and are passing the problem to you

How I Obtain Accounts Securely

True secure accounts are obtained by creating the inbox for accounts that have been inactive for many years. Most people created fake email addresses as kids and never accessed them again.

1

Identify Inactive Accounts

Find accounts abandoned for 5+ years

2

Create Email Inbox

Recreate the original email access

3

Secure Ownership

Full control and verification

Accounts obtained and sold by me directly are the safest you can get. My method has been used for years with zero issues. The only regret you'll have is not buying from me earlier when prices were lower.

Important Warning

The Proxy Risk

Proxy sellers might not scam you immediately - you'll likely receive the account information. But there's a high chance you won't be the owner for long.

You're not paying for an account - you're paying for temporary access until it gets recovered or banned.

Buy Accounts Securely

Stop risking your money with proxy sellers. Get genuine accounts with lifetime ownership and full transparency.
