someone bought far cry 3, far cry 4, assassin's creed unity, and watch_dogs on my origin account in the span of a minute, so now i have to stay up for four hours until EA's phone support is live.

goddamn. that'll teach me to store credit card info on things. stay safe gamers


edit: origin doesn't let you remove your primary payment method, so that's cool

My Origin account could get hacked and I'd never know.

If my Origin account got hacked they would find no payment option as all my acquisitions have been free games that I've never even played through Origin (Heyo, Sims 2!)

Also hacking someone's Origin account might be the most pathetic thing ever. Like wow. What a waste of the time and effort to hack someone.

do not store your credit info on origin, its security is a joke and/or people love targeting it

Meanwhile call your bank/credit card issuer and contest the charges. Chances are they have a 24 hr support line.

The games are being refunded, and in case I incur an overdraft fee they can take care of that as well. One thing I'll say for EA is their customer service line is pretty great.
