Credit Card fraud...

[unixmad]

The credit card fraud that have been managed the 19 February 2002 is concerning about 20 credit cards. Each of this card have been used for upgrading 20 to 60 accounts, it mean that the fraud is concerning more than 600 upgraded accounts and that each card have been used for 500$ to 1500$ of account transactions.

It's sadly a very big percentage of the peoples that have upgraded there account from October to January.

Each banning is managed by hand, and we receive 3 papers from our bank to be sure there is no mistake. All this is verified by me personally 2 times !

It’s possible that some peoples have been abused by some others, but when you give your account/password to someone else, you take the risk that someone do credit card fraud to upgrade your account, then don’t complain about loosing your account, the only way to have your account back is to pay for it and don’t try to use some other fake credit card because I will verify all transactions by hand.

We are now using Paypal for payment processing, for peoples that want to try credit card fraud or ask for charge back after a while, they need to known that Paypal and us are now reporting all activity to the police and to the bank, it mean that if you do such things not only you will not be able to use paypal in the future but your bank will not give you another credit card.

I have only managed half of the credit card fraud, today there will be another big group of account that will be banned for credit card fraud.

Stefan and Me are really affected by this and the Linux cyberjoueurs company is facing to money problems because of all this, when you do credit card fraud not only the bank is taking the money from our account but we have to pay penality to the bank for what you are doing.

Then when you complain for loosing your account or time think about Linux cyberjoueurs peoples loosing there job because of you and think that we will probably have to change our way to manage Graal, 80% of peoples never pay to play Graal and 10% of others do credit card frauds, how do you want us to pay charges with that ?

I never thought the percentages of cc fraud was that high

Hmm, that is a lot more than I ever imagined. I hope your problems solve.

And I really hope I will be able to reupgrade in April

im glad im one of the 10 percent he doesnt need to complain about

[TrueHeaT]

That's horribly depressing, makes me want to upgrade another account just so you guys have money.. too bad I don't have money either

I paid my 30 dollars to Graal.. I agree that it's stupid to use stolen credit card numbers.

The clincher is that the people that get the card number upgrade a ton of accounts using it.. I mean if the people had a brain in their head they would know it's going to be kind of obvious on the credit statement..

I know ways to get thousands of dollars through a transaction scam over paypal, my friend has been doing it a while now, and tried to get me into doing it to, but I figured you're just going to get caught anyway.

I wouldn't mind donating some money to linux cyberjoueurs, but I heard something about unixmad doesn't take donations.

Well the sad thing is this will probaly keep going on so there will be lots of accusing stuff. I'm just glad I have 200 something days on my account.

[freddyfox]

If I find a good job, I'll send some money your way, unix.

*sigh* It is unfortunate that things like this are impossible to dodge...you just have to pick yourself up and keep going. Things should get better (hopefully)...as soon as some players get and are able to retain a brain for more than 5 seconds

[Zelgadis_Geywords]

Yep...People who accuse credit card fraud not only break the law, they also ruin things for the people who pay fairly, and willingly. It really sucks.

Just don't accept payments from non-verified PayPal accounts and all your problems are solved.
