You might have heard that it’s safe to buy someone else’s game account, but it’s not. Why? Because it’s impossible for you to prevent the seller from accessing the account that they created. This means you may lose your money AND the account.

Game accounts are always bound to their original creators. Even if you pay money for an account, the seller takes your money but remains the account-holder. Scammers know this, and exploit others by selling their accounts with no intention of handing it over. They just take your money, and then you never hear from them again.

We will not be able to help scam victims get their money back, nor protect an account that has been passed from one player to another. If we find out that a City has been or is being sold, we reserve the right to ban that game account permanently.
