Scammers often try to sell Google Drive storage through unofficial channels, such as eBay, <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/social-mediaa\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"1\" title=\"Social Media\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Twitter<\/a>, and Reddit\u2014do not fall for this scam, as it\u2019s a waste of money that may compromise your privacy.<\/p>\n<p>Here\u2019s how this works; a scammer creates (or steals) a bunch of Google accounts, each with a cloud storage sub<a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/download-scripts-themes-apps\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"9\" title=\"Download Scripts &amp; Themes &amp; Apps\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">script<\/a>ion. Then, the scammer sells the username and password for each of these accounts at an unusually low price. When someone buys one of these accounts, it works\u2014it\u2019s a real account. But the scammer eventually changes the account\u2019s password so it can be sold to someone else.<\/p>\n<p>Of course, this is assuming that Google doesn\u2019t intervene. When a scammer sells a Google account, it violates the company\u2019s EULA. Either way, you will lose all of the data you uploaded to the secondhand Google Drive. And the person who sold you this account may dig through your Drive.<\/p>\n<figure style=\"width: 1920px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-147421 size-full\" data-pagespeed-lazy-src=\"https:\/\/www.reviewgeek.com\/p\/uploads\/2023\/03\/2baee214.png\" alt=\"an image of Google Drive listings on eBay.\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1080\" data-credittext=\"Andrew Heinzman \/ Review Geek\" src=\"\/pagespeed_static\/1.JiBnMqyl6S.gif\" onload=\"pagespeed.lazyLoadImages.loadIfVisibleAndMaybeBeacon(this);\" onerror=\"this.onerror=null;pagespeed.lazyLoadImages.loadIfVisibleAndMaybeBeacon(this);\"\/><figcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Two Google Drive listings right at the top of eBay. <span class=\"imagecredit\">Andrew Heinzman \/ Review Geek<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Most of these Google Drive scams are for the \u201cunlimited storage plan,\u201d which is only offered through G Suite. From what we can tell, some scammers are flat out lying about unlimited storage, while others create real G Suite accounts using fraudulent business or educational credentials. (Ironically, the latter scenario is actually worse for the buyer. Google is good at finding and shutting down fraudulent G Suite accounts.)<\/p>\n<p>And this scam isn\u2019t exclusive to Google Drive. You\u2019ll also find eBay listings for Dropbox accounts, Minecraft accounts, Netflix accounts, and more. In every case, the goal is to hand over an account\u2019s login credentials, wait a few weeks or months, change the account credentials, and resell it to a new victim.<\/p>\n<p>We\u2019re not sure why eBay allows this nonsense on its platform. The scammers who sell these subscriptions often have several hundred positive reviews, indicating that these scams are lucrative and long-lasting.
