For now, I'm verifying them via their work email.

So far, I've gotten decent feedback from my former colleagues and friends in big tech. Most of them take some sort of compensation for helping restore Insta / ad accounts - this is just a more direct way.




I'm shocked people take compensation for that. I would've felt super weird taking money for it (not least because with how much I make charging for a favor feels like an incredibly crass thing to do)


So you'd do it for free?


Yes, of course I would. Would you not?


Yeah, if was someone who I wouldn't want to do a favor for I just wouldn't do it. I make so much money that the idea of taking money from friends for a pretty simple favor comes across as weird and miserly.


Do you vet the client side of the transaction as well?


Got it, you are friends with corrupt big tech employees.

This site is an absolutely terrible idea. Anyone that thinks this is acceptable should not be working for these companies. Your friends and former colleagues are, quite frankly, stupid. If they sell access to recovery they will be caught and fired, or worse.

It would be trivial for the insider risk people at said companies to find out who you have communicated via their work email.

It is absolutely against terms of employment across the industry to sell recovery of accounts. Not to mention completely unethical. Why would you think this is acceptable?

Just stop.


The terms of employment are in many cases also a form of corruption. You just don't recognize it because you're trained to see the established law and order as morally right (probably). Something something Kohlberg's stages.
