( i have already posted this on the forums but i dont know how long it will take for a riot member to see so....) Basically i was searching through the web and was looking to buy a league of legends account since i was once a player way back in season 2/3 but lost and dont remember my password and username. I didn't want to create a new account and grind to level 30 again because that just takes a lot of time along with buying champions and runes and all that. So, I went on onto this website saw this account for sale. The name had me hooked off rip because I like the Japanese Anime Naruto so the name Hyuga Neji was pretty awesome, and it was explained to have about 80+ champions and many skins on the account including the pulse fire ezreal skin. (ez is my main / favorite champion) The account honestly could not have sounded any better for me so I spent the requested 50 dollars on it and turns out it has been perma banned. Im beyond angry that their end of the bargin was fufilled but not how i imagined... Personally im really not one to hold a grudge though so i dont want to pursue anything serious i just want to play league again... Also, losing 50 dollars for nothing would really be an inconvenience to my bank account. I just want to continue on with my life and play some league. (with learning to never go on a website i dont know again lol #trolled). But if it was possible, i would like to know if the perma ban could be lifted since i did just spend my money on it (like a noob) , and i was not the original owner of the account when it was banned. I log in for the first time and the first thing i see is "you have been permanently banned..... RITO PLEASE HELP ME ENJOY THIS GAME LIKE THE OLD DAYS #MakeLeagueGreatAgain new ez splash looks good btw :D

I think if you still have the email address for your original account, you can probably submit a support ticket to get your original account back. Try that instead of buying accounts, they're sketchy and you can almost expect the account to be permabanned because of how they grind them (having AI play on the account). These for-sale accounts have AI play them in Normal games in Twisted Treeline, which means that they're probably getting reported nearly every game because it's beyond obvious when someone is a bot player. Of course, selling accounts is very much so against the rules, so just by admitting that this was a bought account, if it weren't already permabanned, it would've been.

Honestly if it were possible to even just put a suspension on it instead of having it perma banned i would be fine with it. i honestly did not know buying an account was against the rules. i havnt played since season about season 2 and the email is long gone as well. 50 dollars is just a lot of money to just go down the drain like that you know? i guess i kinda ratted myself out but at the same time maybe someone will understand what happened and give me a chance to not get completely ripped off...

I really wish I could help you, but sold accounts are always perma-banned.

If I were you I would contact the website to see if you can get a refund.

I'd guess he payed with paysafe, like on most suspicious websites

Is it me or does this guy make me feel like he got perma banned and just made up some bull shit story about how he bought the account. Like the website "suddenly got taken off" how convenient that the website got taken down and imagine that, that you just so happened to "forget" your email. You could totally be telling the truth I just get this really funny feeling you just made up some stupid story to get your perma banned account un banned

Sorry, not sorry. Don't buy accounts.

You were scammed.

For the record buying and selling accounts is bannable so even if the account was not banned it would have been in a few days of you playing in it. Its a hard lesson learned.

$50 for 80 champions + a $20 skin. >_< Duuuude, you done goofed up... That's such an obvious rip off... I can sympathize with you though. I wouldn't want to level up and buy all that stuff again as well. If this one were to be permabanned I'd probably fall for such an offer as well.

wouldn't it make sense to play your old account?
