I've never really been one to talk negatively about origin or EA, its worked fine with me with no problems. Unfortunately, that is no longer the case. I went to go pay some bills tonight, and my card kept declining. I checked my online statement and found Origin charged my VISA for $120.28. Never again will I buy a game online in the origin store....  :crap-hitting-the-fan:

Wow! That sucks.

 

Was it charged to your account (ie W0LFZ3RO) or has someone hacked your details and made a purchase on another account?

Nothing was bought on my W0LFZ3RO account. I would assume they got my card details and bought something on another account...Major HACKARY! 

My buddy had the same thing happen to him earlier this week, lost over $300. They got his card info from origin then used it on their own origin account.

I had a similar thing happen to me about 12 months ago. I used to play Planetside 2 a lot, subscribed for a few months then stopped. I still played but just for free. Well it turned out I stopped but someone else carried on with their SoE game pass. It's a relatively small amount so it took a little while for me to notice it on the statements. Fortunately, the banks fraud department investigated and I got the money back, new card, and no further issues.

 

It's so frustrating when you find out but it's also very difficult to find the source of the information leak. I'm not sure if you know for sure it was Origin where your details were HACKARY'd from but I know the banks fraud department couldn't, or wouldn't tell me for my situation.

 

Either way, I hope you get it all sorted out soon and get a shiny new HACKARY free card.

What the heck is happening? Is origin hacked? Isn't this the 2nd report this week of hacked origin account? 

I think Claymore Carl reported something about it. Not sure it was Origin though. Either way, credit card fraud appears to be on the rise!

That's why I pay for a monitoring system, which alerts me anytime someone screws with my credit or bank accounts.  It does work.   :klinked:

What Gator says, y'all make sure you are well set up. EA did the same thing to me, but then they are always charging you for a game not when you buy it if it is not released yet but few days before release. I just had 80 bucks taken but i am well set up and i got an SMS from the bank and also a notification email from EA that they have billed me.  

I just want to say thanks wolf for setting me up battlefront and all the expansions for it.

 

Just kidding. I hope you reported this and they refund you.

Sorry this happened, I didn't get any credit card details taken because I had set up Origin with Paypal. But, it seems that is what the Russian mafia was after.

had the same happen to me back a few months but bank was on it like 20 mins after intial purchase and refunded all of it. it was like $250 and 11 games from an account in europe.
