The Dark Underworld of CoC Account Trading...
Ойындар
If you started a new Clash of Clans base and rushed it instantly to Town Hall 16, it would cost, at bare minimum, around 50 thousand dollars. In fact, to fully gem from town hall 14 to town hall 15 costs about 10 grand.
But what if I told you that it’s possible to get a Town Hall 15 Base for less than the price of a single Clash Pass, or a town hall 16 for at little as 20 dollars?
This is the crazy story of the billion dollar Clash of Clans black market, a place where teenagers become millionaires, and SuperCell is tearing their hair out trying to put a stop to it.
For over a decade, SuperCell’s sole revenue source has been microtransactions.
If you want to skip ahead, and rise up through the trophy ranks in Clash of Clans, handing over money to SuperCell has always been the shortcut. You can buy resources with gems, as well as instantly finish builds which you would otherwise need to wait days, or even weeks to complete.
This system is pretty standard in Free to play games, but speedrunning a SuperCell game has never exactly been cheap. In fact, to skip a single 24 hour build currently costs 260 gems.
So that’s part one of the recipe.
Part 2 came when SuperCell finally added Supercell ID. This genuinely great idea was to make sure that players could keep their progress, even when they bought a new phone or tablet.
Unfortunately for SuperCell, this was when the floodgates really opened.
Selling accounts became incredibly easy for these rogue traders, since all they needed to hand over to buyers was a username and password, simple as that.
Marketplaces began popping up to meet market demands, and long time players began buying up accounts in bulk to fill their clans with high level bases.
Trading Clash of Clans accounts went from a niche market hidden away in the corners of forums and sketchy eBay listings to full on G2A-like services, with instant deliveries and even customer service.
It doesn’t take a genius to see just how big of a market this shady business truly is after a quick google search.
But it’s not just the legitimacy of some of these sellers that raises a red flag. Obviously some of these sellers are super sketchy and will leave you empty handed, but there are some other pretty noteworthy concerns too.

They social engineer the support agent by pretending to be you. Supercell ID is not a security feature. You need to turn on account protection in the settings, which will give you recovery codes. This is likely what your thief did. Once they turn on account protection, support will not help you recover your account.

They stalk maxed accounts and crack them then steal them and finally sell them. And yes IP is the key for proving you used to own an account.
I have an account that’s th10 and that acc got hacked recently they somehow changed mail then put in their number so I don’t own the acc anymore and supercell support say they can’t do anything……
very high quality and well put together video
Good video you definitely have potential to pop off if KZread wants you to
As someone who has been selling clash of clans Accounts pretty succesfully a couple years ago I can say that at least 90% of the Accounts getting sold are stolen or "phished". Also, the reason for the low prices are pretty much because there is more supply then demand, since a lot of the existing fanbase stopped playing and not as much new players came to the game. The prices have been dropping since ever and u had to pay hundreds, if not over a thousand in the early days for maxed accounts.

Hey dude just saying Your videos are Amazing and I hope you reach the same subs as your first channel soon!🎉
One of the grey areas these guys exploit is the acc protection , once turned on the support conversation doesnt go the way u said in ur video, they ask for ur mobile number or recovery codes. Altho its an excellent feature , it can be a double edged sword if u didn't enable it as these hackers enable it and once its enabled its ggs for the acc
it's also possible they switch location to where the currency difference causes gems to cost less than what they sell for
So whats the price per one inch
I really appreciated the video
How can i recover my acc ?, it was stolen and i couldn't recover by the assistence 😢

Did he get it back because that's fked up to lose it, because u spent alot of time and money?

I have purchased many accounts around 14-20 or so, 6 or so have been taken back but I recently purchased the same account 2 years later from a completely different seller completely on accident. I only knew it was one of my old accounts that got taken back due to the friends list having my friends in it and my other accounts. All of these purchased accounts were located in Bangladesh, I dont know how they originally get these accounts but their tactic is that they somewhat recycle them. They will sell it, steal it back in 4 months where u could have purchased gems passes upgraded the base ect, and they will sell it for more rinse and repeat.

I was maxes TH12/13, I don't remember, but it was 1000% maxed except for a few pieces of walls. The person used my thousands of gems for this wall pieces and chang the names.
