SCAM ALERT: THIRD-PARTY COIN SELLERS CAN COST YOU YOUR ACCOUNT

Cheap eFootball coin offers from unofficial sellers rely on stolen or charged-back cards, access to your account, or fake generators. Too often the result is the same: you lose your account, your money, or both.

Coins bought with stolen cards can be reversed by a chargeback, and fraudulent payments break Konami's Terms of Use

Giving your credentials to coin sellers gives them full access to steal your account

There is no in-game feature for a third party to send coins to your account

The cheap prices are bait: the real cost can be your entire account and its contents

Konami may remove Virtual Goods used in breach of its terms and suspend or terminate the account

How Third-Party Coin Scams Work

Stolen Credit Card Purchases

The seller logs into your account and purchases coins using stolen credit card details. The coins appear immediately, making you think the service worked. Later, the card owner reports fraud and the charge is reversed. Fraudulent payments break Konami's Terms of Use, and your account is the one they were made on.

Credential Theft Operations

To "deliver" coins, sellers require your Konami ID email and password. Once they have access, they sell your account to someone else, strip your valuable players, or hold your account hostage for additional payment. You lose both your money and your account.

Fake Coin Generator Fronts

Some "third-party coin sellers" are actually fronts for human verification scams. They collect your payment, redirect you to "verification" surveys, and never deliver anything. The surveys earn the scammer affiliate revenue while you get nothing.

Hacked Account Resale

Coins cannot be gifted or sent between players, so "coin" sellers sometimes sell hacked accounts instead, or use them to sign players for buyers. The original owner can recover the account, and the buyer loses everything.

Real Consequences of Buying Third-Party Coins

Account Suspension or Termination

High Risk

Konami's Terms of Use let it suspend or terminate accounts linked to fraudulent or abusive activity, and remove Virtual Goods used in breach of its terms, without refunds. Konami does not publish how often it acts.

Complete Account Loss

Very High Risk

After giving your credentials to a coin seller, they can change your email, password, and recovery options. You can lose all access to your account.

Financial Loss (No Refund)

Very High Risk

Payment sent straight to a coin seller, by crypto, gift card or bank transfer, is usually irreversible and nobody holds it for you. When the coins vanish or your account is suspended, your money is gone.

Personal Data Exposure

High Risk

Sharing your Konami credentials often means sharing a password you use elsewhere. Scammers test stolen credentials against email providers, social media, and banking platforms.

Device Compromise

Moderate Risk

Some coin sellers require you to install "helper apps" that are actually spyware or remote access tools. Your entire device becomes compromised, not just your game account.

Red Flags: How to Spot a Coin Scam

Prices significantly below the official in-game shop rates

Seller requires your Konami ID email and password

Payment must go straight to the seller (crypto, gift cards or bank transfer) with nobody holding it in escrow

Seller communicates exclusively through Discord or Telegram

Promises of "instant delivery" or "unlimited coins"

No refund policy or buyer protection offered

Account has no reviews or verifiable transaction history

Safe Alternatives to Third-Party Coins

Official In-Game Purchases

Safest

Buy coins directly from the eFootball in-game Shop. It costs more than third-party offers, but it is the official route and keeps your account within Konami's terms.

Login Bonuses and Objectives

Free

Konami's FAQ says coins can be earned by completing objectives and taking part in events. Claim your login bonuses and check Line Objectives and the Campaign Hub for rewards.

Event Participation

Earn More

Limited-time Events offer rewards. Check each Event's reward list to see what it pays out before you play.

Buy an Account Through Escrow

Escrow

Some players buy an existing account instead. On efootballmarket.com your payment is held in escrow until you log in and confirm the account matches the listing, with admin-reviewed disputes. We do not check coin balances, so check them yourself before confirming, and note that buying accounts is against Konami's Terms of Use.

Looking at Accounts Instead? Use Escrow

Skip the coin scammers. On our marketplace every listing is reviewed by an admin, your payment is held in escrow until you confirm the account matches the listing, and an admin reviews any dispute. We do not check coin balances, so check them yourself when you log in, and remember that buying accounts is against Konami's Terms of Use.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I buy eFootball coins from third-party sellers?

Not safely. Konami's Terms of Use say you may not sell, gift, trade or transfer Virtual Currency except as Konami allows, and you must not use currency you did not acquire from Konami or one of its approved providers. eFootball has no feature for sending coins from one player to another, so a third-party seller has to log into your account to "deliver" them, often paying with cards that are not theirs. Konami can remove Virtual Goods used in breach of its terms and can suspend or terminate the account.

Why are third-party eFootball coins so cheap?

A seller cannot sell coins below the shop price for long without a catch. Common catches are purchases made with stolen or charged-back cards, access to your account that the seller can abuse later, or no delivery at all. The "discount" can end up costing you your account.

What is the safest way to get more eFootball coins?

The safest options are: (1) buy coins in the in-game Shop, or (2) earn them in-game by completing objectives and taking part in events, as Konami's FAQ describes. Some players instead buy an account that already has the players they want; on efootballmarket.com the payment is held in escrow until you confirm the account matches the listing, but buying accounts is also against Konami's Terms of Use, and we do not check coin balances.
