I want to warn people, I deposit small amounts, someone got my debit card and did a small deposit, then when it went through they tried $3,000.00 and $1,000.00 deposits. My bank cought the large amounts and then I discovered and reported the small amount. My bank took care of it but it is very scary. I will deffinately check out the gold card...even though I never seem to have that much money in the universe. Good luck to all and please verify withyour bank statement each deposit you make to Mindark. I love it here but this put a bad taste in my mouth. I will file a support case and see if Mindark may be able to find the perp.

Not good Captain, but glad to hear it was identified and sorted out by the bank before the perp got their filthy hands on your hard earned cash!
Hopefully with these recent spates MA can find some patterns that will help them plug some holes.
Thanks for letting us know!

There's another reason for having a GC I can put in my thread now.

Entropia Universe Security: Buy a Gold Card

unfortunately, having a gold card won't keep your debit/credit card from being stolen, so there is still an issue there ... hopefully it gets sorted

Ehm... What does MA have to do with this?

drifter · 02-27-2008, 17:08

UGh man.. sorry to hear that.

Its one reason why I have no CC/Debit cards tied to my Avatar account.

I depo through paynova, this way they need to have more of my info to even attempt to make a deposit. (also gives me time to check myself when I really shouldnt depo.. but REALLY want to lol)

Hope you get it all resolved man.

One of the deposits went through, if MA could identify who used my card number they would be able to tell the banking authorities. The support case was mainly to let MA know that they might have this particular unscrupulous person in our universe and may actually block them or in some way help prosecute them. That's all I wanted to do with the support case. My bank did take care of all non-authorized account activity. My money should be back in my bank account soon.
