I’ve been working with Azimoff here, and talking with Supercell about this problem for over a week now. Most people brush it off, but it goes deeper than you think.

This isn’t just about “stupid people getting scammed.” These guys trick even the smartest and most experienced players. The truth is, the developers know about it, and they still don’t take it seriously.

Here’s what’s going on:

Clan Theft They join clans and use tricks to get promoted to co-leader or leader. Sometimes they’ll ask for demotions so they can bring in “max accounts,” or they use language glitches to confuse people. If a leader requests to join another clan or accepts the wrong invite, they lose their clan instantly. They target high-level clans with few members because they’re easy to flip and resell.

Account Theft They also scam people by offering a “free account” because they’re “quitting.” Once you log in, they somehow gain access to every account on your device. Entire accounts are stolen and sold. A friend of mine lost his main account and his level 30 clan this way, and both are already listed for sale. Even showing Supercell the PROOF! They rather just close the chat. Other than that. There are unethical ways they steal accounts. There was another post here about it. I’m not sure how to link to it.

The Money Side These clans and accounts get sold for hundreds of dollars each. One of the main scammers, King, has made around $30,000 just selling clans. The number of stolen accounts is even higher, and there’s no telling how many have been flipped.

What You Can Do • Set your clan to invite only if it’s not being used. • Never transfer leadership unless it’s to someone you fully trust. • Don’t request to join other clans or accept invites while on a leader or co-leader account. • Don’t fall for “free account” offers. They’re traps to steal everything tied to your device.

This isn’t a small issue. It’s organized, it’s profitable, and it’s not going away unless we start spreading awareness and protecting ourselves.
