Buying a Battle.net account... is it "safe"?

[HCP]

So... in my ongoing search for a copy of Overwatch, I've been doing a lot of research. This has led me to LOTS of posts of people who have forgotten passwords, answers to security questions or had their Battle.net accounts hacked/stolen.

In a lot of these instances, if the person was able to provide the answer to the security question and/or a copy of their photo ID (passport or drivers license), Blizzard seemed to be more than happy to reset the access to their account...

This leads me to believe that there isn't any 100% safe way to purchase a Battle.net account, as the original owner could always reclaim it via security question (as this can't be changed) or using their photo ID that matches the account name (this can't be changed either) and claiming the account was "hacked".

Is that a correct assumption?

Thats true with ANY account not just battle.net. 100% security? Make your own battle.net and buy game via battle.net store.

Best option when buying an account here. Buy ONLY from well repped members who are original owners

Do NOT buy overwatch accounts people make for you on spot the payment on account will be recalled later and younwill lose access to game, same goes with keys do not buy keys

Thanks for the tips. I had been specifically wanting a key because I thought it would be more difficult to recall a key??

Is it because they can just chargeback the payment?

Yes thats a big scam right now and has been for a while.
