How do you buy an account and not get scammed?

I bought an account off here a month ago and got the account taken back, fully scammed. Not sure what to do now, but how can you ever buy an account knowing you wont get scammed, it looks like the "request account back" is pretty through and always sides with the first person. I'm getting his account banned but then again it wont do much.

Same thing happened to me. All accounts are tied to the first original email. They can request an account reset easily. There's nothing we can really do about it to my knowledge. I'm going to get the account banned tho, sent an email to Riot that he's selling it.

Yeah seems silly to buy an account now, I guess it was worth the price only 35$ for 30 days of play or so, was fun while it lasted. If I knew how to make sure 100% not to be scammed I would buy a high priced account. Sucks.

Make sure you don't pay through PayPal as a Gift, is one thing. Pay as 'goods' so you can dispute the payment if scammed. I hope everyone buying accounts reads this.

Quackingduck luckily I did, but he prob emptied his account already so we will see if I get my money back. I mean I was honest with paypal too and said it was a account he sold me, and his response to paypal is laughable. WELL HE BOUGHT IT ON AN UNLICENSED WEBSITE FORUMS.

He kinda admitted fault... noobs

I'm confused. But you should get your money back right? He sounds like an idiot.

Using a middle man and getting the emails it was registered with as well as the support account email.
