NippleFeet Posted January 4, 2020 Report Share Posted January 4, 2020 I was looking for a way to buy AP since super rewards doesn't work anymore and i found a thread that said offgamers website sells mint global cards, i tried buying a $30 one and the site asked me for a picture of my driver's license, a selfie, and a picture of my credit card. now listen, i'm not about to give a website I've never heard of in my life enough info to open up a bank account on its own. Also it took my money BEFORE asking for all of this info and now that I cancelled the order it says it will take 2 weeks to return my money, what kind of bullshit scam is this site running where it takes your money and wont let you use it nor give it back unless if you wait 2 weeks or send too much information TLDR: sketchy site took my money and i want a safe way to buy AP Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Norleras Posted January 4, 2020 Report Share Posted January 4, 2020 Another example of Phishing, eh? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NoRunNoGun Posted January 4, 2020 Report Share Posted January 4, 2020 If you wanted a safe way to buy vgn points, you should follow pixelgamecard site as it's the only site you will be able to get card for it. Any other side you will find, it is not associated with us and we can't help you if you get scammed from these. As of now pixelgamecard has the paymentwall option that has a few options to pay with bank account but they working on finding alternative for super rewards (no ETA).

NoRunNoGun Posted January 5, 2020 Report Share Posted January 5, 2020 Mint is also a prepaid way that you will get a pin code to use on pgc site. So where exactly was the issue with mint. If the issue was on giving your information, i believe it's for security reasons as like when you buy something online with your bank account that you give pretty much all the card details (number, owner name, cvv number, expire date) but giving these infos on not is up to you obviously. Since you cancel the payment, the money will be send back. Technically they haven't been sent till they get verify, it's just that amount of money is bonding till verify or cancel. Cancelling will take few days probably to be shown. Usually max 3 days (weekends excluded). It's same as when it's getting successful payment. On your bank account it will show the total balance and the balance you are able to use since the rest is bonding till the verify from the bank system.

Norleras Posted January 5, 2020 Report Share Posted January 5, 2020 If using Mint, have you tried using https://www.mintprepaid.com/buy ? There's still Alipay, Dollar General, CVS Pharmacy Gift Cards, and OBucks. You'll have to go through openbucks for this when operating the Pixel website.

Because i'm quite sure on these type of verification steps you are allowed to blur every personal info that should not be shared on what you will provide.

Archangel Posted January 5, 2020 Report Share Posted January 5, 2020 OOOF. Since they shut down there stuff to pay with paypal and co i buy VGN over Mint. There a lot sites u can buy those Cards with Paypal , Paysafe Card, Bank and so on. I picked https://offgamers.com cos i have good experience with them from other games i play. As an an example Here u can Buy them with Paypal. You get a code that u enter in Pixel Came Card (Mint Card) & then u get ur VGN. They also accept a lot of Banks & other stuff Just register that's it ,no need to send pic's or what ever. Its more cumbersome than before but it workz. Or wait till PCG sort their stuff like Vivi said in one Post " We're currently working with Paymentwall to offer new Payment Options and hopefully bring back ones we have had removed recently. We kindly ask for everyone's patience whilst we are in the process of doing so. " Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
