Buying points from websites

This is most likely a violation of terms&conditions, to which you agreed when joining the frequent flyer program. For example, Delta SkyMiles conditions say Mileage Upgrade Awards may not be sold or bartered.

If you're caught (and I don't know what are the chances) your account is likely to be deleted, along with all your miles - not only those you bought.

BTW, your valuation of the deal seems incorrect to me. 49K miles for 880$ means you're paying 1.8 cents per mile. The travel blog OMAAT evaluates Asia Miles as worth 1.2 cents each, so you may be making a bad deal. You may need to travel HKG-YYZ three times to accumulate this number of miles, but you certainly can't buy 3 such flights for 49K miles.
