Your trust comes first. Every ID is verified before you pay, and we'll answer every question until you're fully comfortable, even on a call. Why trust us
Most people who have been in this market for a while have lost money or an account at least once. These are the scams we see most often, and how to protect yourself, whoever you buy from.
The 5 most common scams
1. The account gets recovered after you pay
The seller hands over the login, you pay, and a few days later the original owner recovers the account through the first email (FE) or Riot support. This is the most common scam. Ask whether the account comes with the first email, and if it doesn't, ask what happens if it gets revoked. Read what first email (FE) means.
2. Fake screenshots and fake stock
The skins in the picture are not on the account, or the account doesn't exist. Ask to see the account live (a screen share or a fresh screenshot with today's date or your name typed in game) before you pay.
3. Impersonation
Someone copies a known seller's name and profile picture and DMs you first with a "deal". Check the exact username, and only talk inside the seller's official server or ticket. Real sellers rarely DM you first.
4. Payment outside the ticket
The scammer asks you to pay in DMs, to a different UPI ID, or "to a friend's account". Pay only to the payment details given inside the official ticket, and keep the screenshot.
5. Fake middleman
In person-to-person deals, a "middleman" who is working with the seller takes the money and disappears. Only use a middleman with a long, public history of vouches. See how a middleman deal should work.
What a safe deal looks like
- You see the account (and its skins) before any payment.
- You know whether it comes with the first email, and what cover you get if it's revoked.
- Payment happens only inside an official ticket, with a written order.
- The seller has real, checkable vouches, not just a number.
- Nobody asks for your own Riot password for a VP top-up. A Riot ID is enough.

Questions
Is it safe to buy a VALORANT account in India?
It can be, if you see the account before paying, know whether it comes with the first email, pay only inside an official ticket and buy from a seller with real vouches. Buying and selling accounts is against Riot's terms, so there is always some risk.
What does FE mean in VALORANT account deals?
FE means first email: the email the account was created with. Whoever controls it can usually recover the account, so an account with FE is much safer.
How do I know a seller is real?
Check their exact username, their server and their vouches, and only pay inside their official ticket. Be careful with anyone who DMs you first.
