| fraud payments??? |
he used to own so many many estates once...
he really is a demon, now the empire has brandished him as one. |
fraud payments???
I assume it means the credit cards he used to buy diamonds with weren't his. |
for Meshy:
credit cards he used to buy diamonds with weren't his.
so he's a fraud in real life as well, hm..... |
| i think the fraud payment is that the card that he used to reload are maybe cracked cards. |
How is that possible?
[please don't mind, cuz im just turning 18 next month and I have no idea about credit cards] :) |
when is the next event....?
Its been so long, im guessing its going to be alt DE class |
try writing "carnage" in your personal settings display.
It says censorship wont allow it..?
doesn't carnage just mean frustration or destruction? |
next event
I wish admins create new event MG type, i need MG points badly :P |
| two games |
Oh ok it worked, what I wanted to say is that if you write two games anywhere in a mail it will prohibit you from sending the mail.
Regarding Dimon I am sure he must have spent a lot of money from his own pocket as well, not all of it could be fraud. |
when is the next event....?
Probably something for peace day (9th)

About fraud credit cards: There are cases where online purchases are done with stolen credit cards. When it's caught, the business owner got charged back, and they know which player did the purchases.
(Not fully sure how did the stolen credit cards actually works, if I'm not mistaken the victim normally wasn't aware of it until their money got taken, you could easily google it I guess)
It's possible DIMON buys stolen credit cards, or buy the 'service' of someone who have access to stolen credit cards
It's common for the credit card thieves to launder their money by selling the 'money' to someone else for a cheaper price.
Common method for online games is to sell in-game products for cheap, with the condition that the thief get access to the account briefly so he can carry out the purchase using frauded cards.
IIRC few years ago there's someone who just started a new account, buys UCI and tons of diamonds (3000+ diamonds total IIRC), got to level 10 really quickly thx to crazy FSP, so the account becomes really famous.
Turns out the purchases are from stolen credit cards lol. |
| So is it possible he'd have been prosecuted in RL too? |
| I don't think so, maybe they're able to track who actually did the frauded transactions if they done a serious investigation (that I guess will require police involvement) |

That isn't so tough given they already would have his IP address on their servers. And contacting ISP can provide them address of the person.
If police got involved then wow, hell of a way to ruin your life over a game. |
| Is that really how they do it? I always that they somehow fool the game by using fake cards or somehow finding a loop which causes the game to not receive the payment. It is very surprising to me if what you said is correct, committing such a serious crime so obviously is just stupid. |
Well, i doubt it's Dimon himself who stole the credits card, i could easily imagine he bought a service to get those diamonds for cheap
And the actual culprit himself probably wont have trouble hiding his IP or something like that, so i doubt it'll be easy to know who's the real culprit behind the stolen credit cards
I know a certain popular online game, and theres russian-origin websites that sells in-game items cheaper than they should be, but they want u to give ur password since they will be the one who do the transaction for you, probably with stolen cards |
for sareth:
Sounds very risky, many accounts get hacked cuz of this.
Anyway IMO all that is going a bit too far just for a game like this. |

I think the word "hacked" is not appropriate. It should be "given away" or maybe "swindled". |
