Social Media Account Escrow Without Getting Scammed
Platform-Specific Guides · Escrows Click

Accounts get recovered. Original owners come back. 2FA never gets removed. The horror stories around social media account trading are real — and almost always traced back to a deal closed outside escrow.

The non-negotiable transfer sequence#

  • Buyer and seller agree on price, niche, and what's included (email, content rights, etc).
  • Buyer funds Escrows Click.
  • Seller changes recovery email + phone to buyer's, removes 2FA, hands over credentials.
  • Buyer secures the account — new password, new 2FA, new recovery.
  • Inspection window runs (default 48h). If the account holds, buyer confirms and escrow releases.

What to verify before funding#

  • Account creation date matches the seller's story.
  • Engagement rate is organic (not a botted graph).
  • Original creator email is the one being transferred — not a recovery target.
  • Seller can post a live custom photo from the account.
