An “old” Facebook account — one that’s been active for years, has friends, posts, and perhaps perceived credibility — can look very attractive to people who want to shortcut the long process of building an audience or appearing established. That perceived value fuels a small marketplace where accounts are sold or traded. But while buying an old Facebook account may seem like a clever hack, it carries substantial legal, ethical, and practical risks. This guide explains why people buy old Facebook accounts, why selling or buying them is dangerous, how scammers operate, what to do if you’ve already purchased an account, and safe, legitimate alternatives that achieve the same business or personal goals without jeopardizing your security or reputation.

Why people want old Facebook accounts
People buy old Facebook accounts for several reasons:
Those incentives create a market — but it’s a thin, risky market. Below we unpack the key downsides.
Why buying or selling accounts is usually a bad idea
Violation of Facebook’s Terms of Service. Facebook’s terms explicitly prohibit buying, selling, or transferring personal accounts. If Facebook discovers a transferred account, it can suspend or remove it, often without refund. Using a purchased account risks complete loss of access at any time.
Ownership and recovery problems. The original account owner may still control recovery options — email addresses, phone numbers, two-factor authentication, or trusted contacts. Sellers can reclaim accounts, or malicious sellers may use recovery details to regain access and potentially extort the buyer.
Scams and fraud. Many listings are outright scams: screenshots instead of live access, accounts that don’t exist, or accounts already flagged by Facebook for fraudulent behavior. Payment methods requested (gift cards, cryptocurrency) are irreversible and favored by scammers.
Reputational risk. Purchasing an account and using it to contact people or promote content harms trust. Those friends or followers didn’t agree to be transferred to a new person. Messaging them from a formerly personal account is often seen as spammy or deceptive and can prompt reports.
Legal and privacy exposure. If the account was used for illicit activity, the new holder could face investigations or inherit liability. Additionally, sellers can have private information in the account that, if exposed, could create privacy violations.

Platform penalties beyond the account. If the purchased account is used for business purposes (admin of Pages, ad accounts, Business Manager access), Facebook can penalize associated assets, freeze ad accounts, or ban associated businesses.

Note: none of these steps retroactively legitimizes the purchased account; they’re damage-control.
Ethical and community impacts
Buying and selling personal social media accounts damages online ecosystems. Personal accounts hold private relationships and personal histories — treating them like commodities erodes trust and privacy. For groups, communities, and marketplaces, account trading increases spam, fraud, and the burden on platform moderators. If you run a community or marketplace, discourage account trading, educate members about risks, and provide resources for legitimate growth.
Legitimate alternatives that deliver the same benefits
If your goal is credibility, reach, or fast-scale marketing, there are safe and effective alternatives that don’t break rules:
1. Build and buy Pages (legitimately). Facebook Pages — for businesses, brands, and public figures — are designed for transfer and sale in some contexts, and transferring Page ownership can be done correctly by adding admins. However, even Pages have policies; make sure transfers follow Facebook’s guidelines and that admins understand their rights and responsibilities.
2. Use Facebook Business tools. Facebook Business Manager, ad accounts, and Pages offer legitimate ways to grow. Use ads to accelerate reach, employ lookalike audiences, and invest in content and community strategies that scale faster than organic alone.
3. Acquire an existing business or brand (legal M&A). If you want an existing audience because you’re buying a business, consider legitimate mergers and acquisitions: purchase the business assets, negotiate customer lists, and transfer social accounts legally with formal contracts. In these cases, both buyer and seller sign documents to confirm transfer and responsibilities.
4. Partner with influencers. Instead of buying a profile, partner with an established person or influencer for promotions, takeovers, or endorsements. This gives instant reach without ownership transfers.
5. Invest in reputation-building. Buying ads, creating high-quality content, running contests, and leveraging cross-promotion deliver genuine, long-lasting credibility.
6. Use verified channels for verification needs. If you need verification badges or business verification, work directly with Facebook’s business verification process and provide authentic documentation.
7. Consider other platforms. If Facebook’s constraints are the problem, build audiences on platforms more suited to your goals (LinkedIn for B2B, TikTok for creative reach, or an email list which you own).

Legal and regulatory considerations
Depending on jurisdiction, buying an account and using it deceptively could trigger consumer protection or fraud laws, especially if you use the account to defraud customers or misrepresent identity. Businesses that buy accounts and use them to solicit customers may be exposing themselves to fines, contract disputes, or civil liability. Always consult legal counsel if you’re acquiring business assets or doing cross-border transactions.
Conclusion
Buying an old Facebook account may appear to shortcut months or years of hard work, but the practice is risky, often violates Facebook’s terms, and exposes buyers to scams, legal trouble, and reputational harm. Rather than trading in accounts — which treats people’s profiles and relationships as commodities — choose legitimate paths: build, advertise, partner, or acquire businesses through formal agreements. If you’ve already made a purchase, act quickly to secure any related assets and pursue refunds or disputes where possible.
Authentic growth is slower, but it’s durable and defensible. Invest in real audiences, transparent practices, and legal transfers — and you’ll build not just numbers, but trust.
