taffy2jeffmorgan Posted April 7, 2015 Posted April 7, 2015 (edited) Hi All. I posted recently regarding the problem I was having trying to purchase BoM, the problem being that every time I tried to buy I was declined, this was because my bank [Westpac Australia] was deliberately blocking the transaction, because as they explained, the buying of toys,games, and hobbies is a section that is see as being high risk, the risk being that it is the pray of fraudsters. I contacted the fraud section of my bank and explained that I had purchased from 777 Studios in the past and had no problems [Rof, BoS] so after clarifying my identity they removed the block long enough for me to make the transaction which was a success. So if anyone experiences this problem when purchasing with a credit card, it will be your bank protecting your assets. Cheers. JM [Taffy] Edited April 7, 2015 by taffy2jeffmorgan
Bando Posted April 7, 2015 Posted April 7, 2015 Geezzz. One would think they'd ask you first before blocking your account in such a way. Glad you got it sorted.
Dakpilot Posted April 7, 2015 Posted April 7, 2015 Had a similar experience with original BoS purchase, but was limited to a phonecall from CC company informing me of an unusual transaction to a different country and asked to confirm it was actually myself who made the purchase...a bit big brother but in a good way Cheers Dakpilot
