They took the money from the account for the case on the 3rd But didn't take the money for the phone til they suddenly Changed my ship date from the end of the month til to the 10th. The hacking happened on the 6th ...seems to me IF they took the money ALL of it on the 3rd I wouldn't have lost the phone. EA said they get it fixed within 3-5 business days Which they did BUT the bank Blocked his Debit Card & ordered new one because of the hacking. After I got the money from the bank in cash  ... sorry this is long I POed & Venting.  This has been hell week turning into hell month! |
Vent away honey! It's been that kind of year for us all. First tell you son to get a PayPal account to use with Origin. It's much safer and that's what I use as I don't trust EA. Tell him not to use the same password or email for Origin and Paypal or that kind of defeats the purpose. Enable 2 step verification of Paypal and on Origin. That way no one can hack your account and even if they did they couldn't buy anything without being inside his brain.
Also I'm not sure why the Reps told you what they did but as you can see in the pic I have no card attached. I did order the phone as a gift so you may want to do that if you get it. It will come deregister then once you get it you register it and the Prime is added to your account as you can see I order mine didn't start till I register the phone on the 10th. It's not like when you sign up for Prime or sign up for a trial it works differently. It doesn't even auto renew like the trial or Regular Prime. It didn't ask me anything they just started Prime as soon as I registered the phone.
