The pre-purchase verification checklist that stops the most common PUBG account scams.
Direct Answer: How Do I Check a PUBG Account Before Buying?
Before buying a PUBG Mobile account, verify it: check the collection level, X-Suits, and mythic items in-game; confirm which social accounts are linked and whether they can be unlinked; and ask for a video walkthrough of the inventory. Accounts that cannot be unlinked are the most common scam. Buying through escrow keeps your payment safe until the transfer is complete.
The 5-Point Pre-Purchase Check
1. Collection level, X-Suits & mythics — in-game, not screenshots
Ask the seller to open the account live and scroll the collection: collection level, every X-Suit with its star level, mythic outfits, and gun labs. Screenshots are trivially faked; a live screen-share or video walkthrough is the minimum.
2. Which social accounts are linked — and can they be unlinked?
Confirm every linked login (Facebook, Google, Apple, Twitter/X, phone) and whether each can be fully unlinked. Accounts that cannot be unlinked are the most common scam: the original owner can recover the account after you pay.
3. Demand a video walkthrough of the full inventory
A real seller records the whole inventory in one uncut video: profile, collection, gun labs, garage, and the linked-accounts screen. Refusal, or a video that skips screens, is a walk-away signal.
4. Check UC debt, bans & secondary password
Negative UC (carded UC) gets the account banned after purchase. Ask about ban history and whether a secondary verification password is set — and who controls it. Unknown UC debt is a deal-breaker.
5. Never pay outside escrow
Pay only through an escrow that holds your payment until the transfer — including the Krafton unlinking cooldown — is complete. Advance payments on JazzCash, Easypaisa, or crypto to a stranger are how most buyers lose money.
Frequently Asked Questions
What should I check first on a PUBG account?
The linked social accounts and whether they can be unlinked. An account with maxed X-Suits is worthless to you if the original owner can recover it through a linked Facebook or phone number.
Can a seller fake a video walkthrough?
Yes — recorded videos of someone else’s account circulate widely. Ask for a live walkthrough, or a video that shows a code word or today’s date on screen, plus the linked-accounts screen in the same take.
What if the social accounts cannot be unlinked?
Walk away, or buy only if the price reflects the risk and you accept the original owner may recover it. For most buyers, an account that cannot be fully transferred is not a real purchase.
Does escrow protect me from a recalled account?
Escrow protects your payment until the transfer completes, including the unlinking cooldown period. It cannot protect you after you release the payment — so never release early, even if the seller pressures you.
