Chargebacks considered 'fraud' by most payment providers
Did you buy something from the buddystore and do a charge back? That will do it to you too.
don't use stolen credit cards or charge back the purchase trying to get it for free. Don't pretend nothing is wrong.
Hi,
Duskmaker,
Phelon and
Mashiyuu are spot on—almost every payment provider on the internet today will put you on an internal 'fraud list', if you do a 'chargeback'. Well over 90% of chargebacks are fraudulent. We're not saying this is your case, but you should be aware of the consequences of actions you may take.
This post explains the problem in more detail. Not only is current activity affected, but any previously purchased 'ongoing services' cleared through that payment provider are considered fradulent, and terminated as a consequence. Since Buddy bots are not a stand-alone product, but a client-server architecture, it is an 'ongoing service'.
You see this same anti-fraud behavior from all online merchants, including Bliz's payment providers. If you reverse a charge (say, via Paypal), then Bliz terminates ALL accounts associated with that form of payment—not just the account that raised the dispute. Again, these are nothing more than
normal anti-fraud measures employed by payment providers world-wide.

As such, we're closing this thread. If you would like to try again to explain things to the 'front office', that is up to you.
