Bought a LoL account without the original email. Was this a mistake?
Bought a LoL account recently through PlayerAuctions and so far everything seems fine after about a week. I changed the email, password, enabled MFA, etc. The only thing I never had access to was the original creation email.
The seller kept insisting the original email was deleted and unusable, and honestly they were pretty cooperative overall. I even paid extra for PlayerAuctions insurance/protection in case something happens within a year. But now I’m starting to wonder if buying an account without the original email was just a bad idea from the start.
I checked the original email through a few “email existence” checker tools and they all show it as active/existing, although I don’t fully trust those sites either. So now I’m wondering:
- Is buying an account without the original email basically always a gamble/roulette?
- In practice, do most original owners just move on and never recover the account?
- Or can accounts still randomly get reclaimed months later even after securing everything?
Would you personally avoid spending/transferring RP onto an account like this?
I still have my old account with a lot of unused RP and was thinking of gifting skins/items/rp to the bought account instead of directly buying RP there, but now I’m hesitant. Is it possible to do that without risk?
Curious what people with experience in account trading think.
