also, what you don’t realize is that when you park your car, leave your wallet in it, don’t lock it, and leave, it is very very VERY easy to go into your wallet, copy down all of the information you need to both use and verify all of your credit cards and then put everything back where it was in the wallet.

It takes about 4 minutes with a pen and paper…about 1 if you’re efficient, don’t look for other valuables in the car, and have a half decent camera.

However if you leave your car unlocked with your wallet in it, I honestly and truly believe you deserve to get robbed and inconvienced because you have demonstrated by example that you’re too dumb to take part in the capitalist, monetary system.

For all you people who say you don’t know why someone would steal you’re information for online games, it’s this (and I don’t know how you missed this): If they pay with YOUR credit card, they’re not out any money. Simple as that.

For all you people who wonder where the money is going, its this: its going EXACTLY where it says on your statement. Lets look at this with an ounce of logic. Those who game, are computer savvy. Those who steal your credit card info do it through the computer. For those of you who don’t see the connection at this point, you deserve to have you’re credit card scammed.

The second plausible explanation is that someone who hacks credit cards has simply used the same name. Not that complex.

My advice is deal with it from a bank end. I know in Canada the banks’ anti fraud things are pretty good, and if there are large charges the RCMP deal with them. Freeze your account.

Yesterday (10/16) I found 2 charges from Blizzard Entertainment for 14.99 and put a freeze on my account. Today, 4 more charges for 14.99 appeared.

Blizzard Entertainment is mostly to blame for this kind of fraud because they accept no responsibility for their highly unethical business practices. What kind of company allows people to make multiple credit card charges without even asking who they are? They allow players to create accounts without confirming their identities in anyway. They dont even delete the accounts they know are using stolen credit card numbers.

Blizzard needs to be investigated by consumer protection immediately and if possible, their online gaming “community” needs to be shut down.

This has gone too far. These geeks are screwing with peoples lives and their well being…and for what? A game? Shut it down now!

Unfortunately, it is also an incentive for the CC companies to lower their fraud protection schemes.

I was billed twice to two different credit cards for a game on runescape. The first card came back on my computer as denied but was charged on this card, When I put in the second card I was also billed for this. I cannot find a phone number for runescape to challenge this. Can you help me with this.

Also ripped off by blizzard. Someone at blizzard re-opened my account after I cancelled my subscription. I called to find out why they were still charging me and they told me the subscription had never been cancelled. I looked for my cancellation verification email and found that all messages from blizzard had been deleted from my email account. They only got me for 120 dollars in monthly fees, but that’s still annoying as hell. My character (lv 37 paladin) was obviously not worth selling. It was still there when I logged in today. Also, they have changed their policy since the last time I cancelled- a new message says that to re-open your account, your card info will have to be entered MANUALLY. That’s great, but it doesn’t help me. I called a second time to let them know about my email getting hacked and ask again for my money before seeking legal advice. Blizzard was not receptive- I tried to call a third time and 1-800-59 BLIZZARD had been “disconnected?” Yeah, right. Even though it’s some gutter-crawling curr running the scam in there, it’s still Blizzard’s responsibility to give me back my money. If the thief wasn’t working for them, then my first cancellation would appear on their records. If it does appear in their records, and they’re just telling me it doesn’t, then that lie makes that phone rep the thief. Blizzard is the thief because the thief works for them. I’d be interested to know how many oter people have been ripped off in this way- and if anyone knows agencies like the better business bureau that deal with these issues more specifically.
