www.RentYourAccount.org is a scam and renting your Facebook account is against Facebook's policy. Scammers are using websites like RentYourAccount.org, Craigslist, local classified advertisement websites to lure potentials victims into their traps, by posting advertisements asking potential victims for access to their Facebook accounts for a fee. The potential victims who fall for the scam and give the scammers access to their Facebook accounts will regret it because the scammers will use the accounts fraudulently. Facebook accounts that are used fraudulently will be terminated or suspended by Facebook, and the illegal activities that the scammers use the accounts for will be traced back to the owners of the accounts, who may end up in jail and may pay thousands of dollars in legal fees to clear their names.

Please continue reading below.

The Fraudulent Website - RentYourAccount.org

How does the Scam work?

The scammers will use the Facebook accounts to advertise their scams to millions of Facebook users using stolen credit cards or hijacked PayPal accounts to make payment. Facebook advertisement is the most effective way for scammers to reach their potential victims. They may also use their victims’ Facebook accounts to send spam and dangerous links to their friends which go to malicious and phishing websites. And, once the friends see a post or message coming from their friend, they will instantly think the message is legitimate and click on the malicious or phishing links, which will take them to dangerous websites that contain malware. Once on the dangerous website, the potential victims may be tricked into downloading fake and malicious software that will infect their computers/devices with viruses or Trojan horse. The potential victims may also be taken to phishing websites, where they may be tricked into submitting their personal information, financial information, or sending money to the scammers.

The scammers may also use the Facebook accounts to falsely inflate the "Like" count of a fraudulent website, give the same website positive reviews or promote it.

It is important for Facebook users to remember that they should never lend their Facebook accounts to anyone, whether for a fee or not, or give someone access to it. Also, Facebook users should not give their Facebook username and password to anyone, and Facebook users who have done so already should change their passwords immediately.

Also, online users should never give strangers remote access to their computers via TeamViewer or any other remote access software. Online users who were already tricked by RentYourAccount into giving them remote access to their computers should check their computers for spyware and other malware than can be used to hijack their computer, steal their information, or use their computers to commit cyber crimes. Online users who are not tech-savvy may take their computers to a tech-savvy family member or to a computer repair shop for help.

Why the HE|| would anyone in their right mind risk having their account frozen or deleted entirely by handing over complete unfettered access to their entire facebook account to someone that they know absolutely nothing about?

and since 'renting' facebook accounts or providing access to others is in direct violation to the Facebook TOS Especially when doing so would make them completely personally accountable and financially liable for anything done with, posted to or charged to their account

Please confirm if the below is legit:

"We would like to rent out your FB account so we could run our ads campaign, mostly for beauty, health, gold and other financial promotional ads targeting United Kingdom audiences. You will receive $100 for a month of rent, payment can be pro-rated (depends on when the campaign was activated) and payable on the 7th of the following month. Our Ads campaign has a 30-day period contract, after the contract, you decide if you still wanted to renew your campaign for another 30 days.

To start with the job, your account needs to undergo a 3 days preparation before we fully launch the ads campaign to your account. We will provide you a detailed instruction on how to create an FB page and what are topics that you need to post on the page. Basically, posting on the page you created is the preparation here.

Facebook requires an account to be at least one year old and have legitimate activity on them to be considered allowing ads to be run. We do not have the time to create new accounts and set them up with years worth of data and activity, and we would like to rent a real, quality account from you.

Just to let you know, every personal Facebook account has an "Ads Manager" account associated with it. You should know that all advertising through your Facebook Ad account is anonymous (your name will not be associated with any of the ads we post). Also, we will not have access to the rest of your Facebook and we will never ask and do not need the username / password at all.

If in doubt, please visit this website for any further information. Do let me know if you have any other questions upon reading the website. (http://rentforfb.com/) NOTE:(Please note the WEBSITE mentioned is for US renters ONLY, rates, offer, requirements set for your COUNTRY is different from the site)"
