Groups owned and managed by April Souls.
The main activities within the community focus on piloting services, buying, selling, and trading Genshin Impact and other game contents.
In buy-sell-trade activities, a "Midman" (short for "Middleman") is an intermediary who facilitates transactions between a buyer and a seller. The midman ensures a smooth, secure exchange by handling payments, verifying the goods or services, and reducing the risk of fraud for both parties.
Escrow Role – The midman holds the payment or product until both sides fulfill their obligations.
Trust and Security – Helps prevent scams, especially in online transactions.
Negotiation and Mediation – Sometimes assists in price discussions and resolving disputes.
Convenience – Saves time and effort for both the buyer and seller.
Buyer and Seller Agree on a Deal - Both parties finalize the price, item details, and terms of the transaction.
Choosing and Verifying a Midman - Select a reputable midman from a trusted platform or community. Both parties should verify the midman’s identity to avoid scams.
Buyer Sends Payment to the Midman - Instead of paying the seller directly, the buyer sends the money to the midman (via bank transfer, PayPal, cryptocurrency, etc.). The midman confirms they have received the payment.
Seller Ships or Transfers the Product - The seller sends the item to the midman for verification (for physical goods like sneakers, electronics, or collectibles). For digital goods (e.g., game accounts, NFTs, virtual items), the seller transfers the item to the buyer after confirmation from the midman.
Midman Verifies the Item - If it's a physical product, the midman checks authenticity, condition, and whether it matches the deal. If it's a digital item, they ensure proper transfer and security.
Buyer Receives the Item - If it's a physical product, the midman ships it to the buyer. If it's a digital product, the buyer confirms they received it properly.
Midman Releases Payment to Seller - Once everything is verified, the midman releases the payment to the seller. If there’s an issue, the midman helps resolve it before completing the transaction.
Transaction Completed - Both buyer and seller confirm the transaction is successful. The midman may charge a small fee for their service.
When a seller provides their personal information (such as ID, phone number, or address, etc) to assure the buyer that they won’t scam, this is often called a "warranty" or "personal assurance." However, this method is not always reliable in preventing scams.
How does warranty work?
The seller shares their real name, social media profiles, phone number, ID and other contacts. This is meant to build trust and convince the buyer that they won’t scam.
If anything goes wrong, the buyer supposedly has a way to contact or report the seller using the information that they have provided.
Why This is NOT a True Guarantee :
Fake Information Can Be Used – Scammers can use fake IDs, temporary phone numbers, or stolen accounts to appear trustworthy.
Information Doesn't Prevent Recovery Scams – Even if they provide real details, they can still recover the account or disappear after the deal.
Difficult to Enforce – If a scam happens, having the seller’s personal info doesn’t guarantee you can take action, especially if they are in another country.
What’s a Better Guarantee?
Use a Trusted MM – This ensures payment and account transfer are secure.
Get Full Account Access – Always get the original email and change all security settings.
Buy from Verified Sellers – Only deal with sellers who have a strong reputation in the community.
Keep Transaction Records – Screenshots of the deal can help if you need to file a dispute.
Providing personal info might add some level of trust, but it’s not a true guarantee of safety. Always take extra precautions!
To ensure a midman/pilot is safe and trustworthy, follow these steps before using their services !
Verify Reputation and Reviews
Check online reviews, feedback, or testimonials from previous users.
Look for their history on platforms like Facebook groups, Discord, or marketplaces.
Beware of new or unverified midmen with no track record.
Check the platform (groups, servers, site,etc) where they are active if the platform itself is a safe place or not.
Use Only Trusted and Well-Known Midmen
In communities or marketplaces, ask for officially recognized midmen with a good reputation.
Many platforms have approved or recommended midmen lists.
Better to use Admins/ Moderators of groups that are set in public and open for legitimacy check post.
Confirm Their Identity
Double-check their profile, username, and contact details. Scammers often impersonate real midmen, so always verify directly through official channels.
Ask for Proof of Past Transactions
A legit midman should be able to show evidence of previous deals.
Look for screenshots, chat references, or vouches from trusted buyers/sellers.
Avoid Midmen Who Rush or Pressure You
Scammers often rush deals to make you skip verification steps. Take your time to confirm everything before proceeding.
Ensure They Use Secure Payment/Verification Methods
Trusted midmen typically use secure escrow services or platforms. Avoid those who ask for direct personal payments without security.
Check for Red Flags
Offers too good to be true (e.g., extremely low fees or special deals).
Unwilling to show proof of identity or past transactions.
Newly created accounts with no history or a suspiciously high number of "fake" reviews.
Final Tips
If you're unsure, ask for recommendations from trusted community members or use an official escrow service instead of an individual midman.
If you encounter an online scammer or about to start a transaction with an unsure seller/buyer, follow these steps :
Double check the legitimacy of the buyer/seller and Midman who are involved in the transaction
Before you start a transaction, you need to make sure the people you are in transaction with are legit.
Always check their link to avoid scammers , posers.
It's better to save their link and check first before you start the transaction. So even if you are blocked, you will always have their account link to report!
Do Not Share Personal Information
Never share sensitive details like your name, address, bank details, passwords, or OTPs unless you make sure the person you handling the information to is a trusted Midman / buyer.
Report the Scammer
Social Media/Marketplace: Report their profile on the platform (Facebook, Instagram, WhatsApp, etc.).
Bank/Payment Apps: If money is involved, inform your bank or payment service (PayPal, Venmo, etc.).
Warn Others
Post on forums or scam reporting websites.
Inform friends and family to prevent them from falling for the same scam.
Note : When you report, Always include the scammer full account name and link.
Secure Your Accounts
Change passwords if you’ve shared any details.
Enable two-factor authentication (2FA) for extra security.
Scan your device for malware and remove any suspicious log-in activities.
TIP: How to Get a Scammer's Facebook Profile Link Even If You’ve Been Blocked
Open chat history with the other party - Open your conversation with the scammer; even if you’re blocked, the chat will still be visible.
Find the “Share Contact” option - Click the Settings icon (usually in the top right corner of the chat), scroll down, and select “Share Contact” to send it to another chat or even to yourself.
Get the profile link - Once you’ve shared the contact to another person or your alternate account, open the shared profile from that chat, this will allow you to view and copy the profile link, even if you’re blocked.
A verification sticker is a label or digital badge issued by a group administration to confirm that a person, account, or item is legitimate. It serves as proof that the individual or entity has met certain criteria set by the group, ensuring authenticity and trustworthiness to prevent impersonation, fraud, or unauthorized access.
Each group has its own verification process, but the general steps usually include:
Meet Eligibility Requirements
Ensure your account, service, or listing meets the group’s specific standards—this may include identity verification, track record, or activity level.
Submit a Request or Application
Reach out to the group admins or complete a verification form, if available. Be prepared to provide necessary details such as your profile, credentials, or proof of authenticity.
Undergo Admin Review
The group administration will assess your request based on their internal criteria and guidelines.
Receive the Sticker
Once approved, a verification sticker will be added to your profile, post, or service to indicate trustworthiness and legitimacy.
Maintain Compliance
Verified members must continue to follow group rules. Any violations may lead to removal of the sticker.
To determine if a verification sticker is legitimate, consider the following:
Official Source – It should come directly from a specific group and from an admin or an authorized moderator of that group. Verify with them if unsure. Check if the group that provides the sticker is legit or not.
Unique Design - Many verification stickers have a distinct design, watermark, or specific details that make them hard to fake. Compare it with official ones.
Placement & Usage – Check where and how the sticker is used. If it's meant for a profile or ID, make sure it's in the correct format and location.
Verification Process - Some groups have a process (e.g., checking IDs, answering questions) before issuing stickers. If someone gets one without following the process, it might be fake.
Cross-Check with Admins – If in doubt, ask the group admins to confirm if a sticker is valid.
If you suspect a fake verification sticker, report it to the group admins to prevent scams or impersonation.

What is a piloting Agency? An agency is a business (which is piloting business here in this community) created and managed by an individual to provide piloting services, often by hiring staff or freelancers to work under them. The agency operates with its own structure, rules, and branding, and any “verification” or approval the agency gives is based solely on its internal standards—making it a self-issued label rather than an independent or widely recognized form of verification.
What is a group? A group is a community space where people gather to share information, interact, and build trust through collective activity. It is usually managed by admins or moderators rather than a formal business, and any “verification” given reflects community-based trust—based on shared feedback, history, and group rules—rather than a self-issued label from a single entity.
Agency sticker: Given by the agency owner. It’s based on their own internal judgment, so it’s a self-issued label. People outside that agency may not trust it because there’s no independent or community validation.
Group sticker : Given by admins within a group and usually backed by multiple factors like member feedback, transaction history, and vouches. It represents community-based trust, so it tends to feel more credible than an agency’s sticker.
Overall : If you are piloter who which to boost your credibility , verifying yourself and obtain stickers from TRUSTED GROUP is more priority as sticker from agency is rather self-labeling items more than a verification badge.
What is a Vouch? A vouch is a review or proof from a client confirming that a service was completed successfully, safely, and as promised.
How a valid vouch should include?
Clear chat screenshots (agreement + completion)
Service details (what was piloted / traded)
Pilot name / user tag
Optional: before & after proof
Important Notice
Vouch ≠ Verification
Vouches are pilot-based proof, not admin confirmation
A pilot with many vouches can still be unverified
Vouch can be faked / self-vouching, check carefully before transaction
