Reviews on Other Platforms
When researching DealBaron, you may come across conflicting reviews and pages associated with similar-looking domains that do not belong to us.
Here, we explain the situation with fake reviews, our experience with Trustpilot, and the information about our service that you can verify.
DealBaron and Accs-Market Are the Same Service
Our current address is dealbaron.com. Previously, the service operated at accs-market.com.
The move to DealBaron was our first and only change of name and domain in seven years of operation. We chose a clearer brand name and openly display our former name on the website so users can trace our history.
The claim found in some reviews that we constantly change domains to hide our past is therefore false.
Fake Reviews and the Campaign Against Our Service
Fake reviews accusing DealBaron of misappropriating funds are being circulated on external platforms. We attribute their spread to a targeted campaign by a competitor against our service.
Reviews like these began appearing at the same time as two new competing platforms launched.
The reviews repeat the same set of accusations, following a similar structure:
- Recurring headlines — “⚠️ SCAM ALERT” and “⚠️ FRAUD WARNING,” written in capital letters with the same warning symbol. The same headline is then repeated at the beginning of the review itself.
- A story about losing money — the author claims to have paid a large sum of money.
- Support disappearing — the review claims that staff stopped responding after payment and that the escrow agent misappropriated the money.
- A separate list of “warning signs” — the authors include sections titled “Key Warning Signs I Ignored” or “Red flags I wish I hadn’t ignored,” listing similar accusations: a fake escrow service, no buyer protection, and constant name changes to conceal the past.
The entire structure repeats from one review to another: the same set of accusations, a similar sequence, and the same presentation. The texts read like variations of a single template.
Examples of Reviews
We do not know the total number of fake reviews: they may also be written without using this template.
We acknowledge genuine problems. There was a period when cases of demonetization and channel suspension became more frequent, and users affected by these issues had grounds for dissatisfaction. We have significantly reduced the frequency of these cases, and they have become rare again.
However, these problems do not substantiate accusations that DealBaron misappropriates funds. We acknowledge legitimate criticism and reject fabricated accusations.
Why We Cannot Challenge These Reviews on Trustpilot
Under normal circumstances, companies can challenge fake reviews through a claimed Trustpilot profile and seek their removal. In our case, this option is not available.
In our experience, Trustpilot may remove profiles of platforms that facilitate buying and selling accounts because of their business category.
In 2023, Trustpilot notified us that it would remove the profile of our former domain, accs-market.com, and terminate our agreement. During the same period, the profiles of all other websites in the same category that existed at the time were also removed.
After that, a Trustpilot page for a similar-looking domain that did not belong to us began appearing first in Google searches for reviews of our service. Reviews of our service and another platform were mixed together on that page. Users could mistake another service’s negative reviews and rating for ours.
We asked Trustpilot to remove the profile that was causing this confusion. They refused because the domain did not belong to us, even though there was no website at that address and the domain did not redirect anywhere.
We have no doubt that the competitor would take advantage of our profile being removed: they would create a page for a similar-looking domain and continue publishing fake reviews about DealBaron there.
The domain dealbaron.online was registered on August 20, 2026, using our service’s name with a different domain extension. This domain does not belong to us. We are convinced that the competitor registered it to create pages containing negative claims that users would mistake for information about DealBaron.
ScamAdviser already has a page for this domain with a negative assessment. In Google search results for DealBaron reviews, this page appears above the page for our actual domain, dealbaron.com, which ScamAdviser assesses positively.
We are currently leaving DealBaron’s Trustpilot profile unclaimed. We hope that if we have no business relationship with Trustpilot, it will not be required to remove our profile because of the type of service we offer. For example, the unclaimed profile for a domain resembling our former address remained on Trustpilot even though we asked for it to be removed.
While the profile remains unclaimed, the tools for challenging reviews are unavailable to us.
A Post in the YouTube Community: What Actually Happened
On June 30, 2026, a post appeared in the YouTube Help Community, accusing DealBaron of working with a buyer to take a seller’s channel without paying him.
We identified the author and reviewed his support request, correspondence, and payment records.
What Our Review Found
On June 28, 2026, the seller reported that he had not received his payout. Support responded to his messages and referred the request to the technical administrator, who had access to the payment system and could check the transfer.
On June 30, two days after reporting the missing payment and while still waiting for the transaction hash, the seller posted an accusation of channel theft and non-payment in the YouTube Community.
We sent the seller the transaction hash on July 11 so he could verify the transfer. The transaction record confirms that the money had already been sent on June 28, the day the deal was completed.
After receiving the transaction hash, the seller did not contact us again about missing funds. He later completed another deal through DealBaron without any problems. However, the original post containing the accusations remained uncorrected.
What the Author Wrote Later
On July 19, a reply appeared in the same thread from another account, muaaz 1232. It explained that DealBaron would pay the seller after the channel was transferred and advised carefully checking the payment details, cryptocurrency wallet address, and network.
This reply was written by the author of the original post using his other account. Both profiles use the name muaaz, and their “Member since” dates are just two days apart:
- muaaz patel — the account used to post the accusation; member since June 30, 2026.
- muaaz 1232 — the account used to write the later reply; member since June 28, 2026.
The second profile therefore existed before the original post appeared. Both dates can be checked independently using these links.
Meanwhile, the original accusation of channel theft and non-payment remained uncorrected.
Why We Are Publishing Our Response Here
Two months later, we contacted the customer and asked him to remove or correct the post. The author agreed but was unable to delete it himself.
In the YouTube Community, threads are automatically locked after 30 days without new replies. This process is described in a Community Expert’s response. The thread is currently marked “Locked”, and replies are disabled, so we cannot post our explanation and payment confirmation there either.
The author tried to have the thread removed by reporting it to Google, but at the time of writing, the post remains publicly available.
What You Can Verify on DealBaron
Over seven years of operation, more than 100,000 deals have been completed on the platform, and buyers and sellers have left more than 50,000 reviews.
You can trace the service’s history through the Internet Archive’s Wayback Machine: Accs-Market.com and DealBaron.com. On February 25, 2026, we moved from Accs-Market.com to DealBaron.com. Our former address, accs-market.com, still redirects to dealbaron.com.
On our reviews page, buyers and sellers share their experiences after completing deals. Each review is linked to a specific deal and displays the author, date, participant’s role, asset name, and amount. From a review, you can visit the author’s profile and check their reputation and deal history.
We do not remove reviews because they are negative or critical of our service. Even when we disagree with a review, we leave it on the website and respond publicly.
Once a deal is complete, users can leave a review directly on its page. We’ve made the process as simple as possible, which is why so many customers leave reviews on our platform.
Posting a review on an external platform requires additional steps: visiting another website, finding the right company, and creating an account. Customers who are satisfied with the outcome are rarely willing to spend time on this. Usually, only very dissatisfied customers and competitors deliberately posting fake reviews to damage a service’s reputation are willing to make that effort. As a result, the picture you see on external platforms is distorted.
Trustpilot offers companies automated invitation tools that allow customers to leave a review without a separate registration step. For the reasons described above, these tools are unavailable to us.
Nevertheless, we have recently started asking customers to leave a review on Trustpilot after completing a deal. We ask them to share their experience honestly, regardless of whether it was positive or negative. We hope that, over time, our customers’ real experiences will become more visible among the fake reviews.
