We've discovered a rather significant fraud scheme where 3rd party resellers use stolen credit card data to buy accounts on our site, and then resell these to unsuspecting victims. When the banks inevitably demands a chargeback we disable these accounts, leaving the 2nd buyer out of pocket and with no account. Please do not use 3rd party resellers unless they are sanctioned by us! We'll share more information as we uncover the details of this scheme.
