Announcement: Credit selling fraud

[Tuism]

Hi all.

You may have been aware of the case of credit selling by a new member of the forum.

With our suspicion, we have investigated (big thanks to Pete) the case with Ubisoft developers' help and have found out that it was indeed a case of fraud as the offering seller never paid for his credits. Basically it was a hack. Ubisoft is currently investigating the case and will certainly get to the bottom of it.

We will proceed to close this thread and removing all info of the seller, who has been banned. Everyone please blacklist him as well from contact, please do not deal with him.

We at the Unofficial Forums DO NOT SUPPORT any illegitimate transactions.

Thanks all.



UPDATE: Ubisoft has officially responded to this issue, as below:

MarcUbi:

Thanks to vigilant forum users, we have uncovered some fraudulent credit purchases.
We are currently working on a system to prevent those transactions and ensure a trusty environment for Recollection.
Please be aware that the fake credits will be tracked down and removed from our server.

Therefore, we strongly advice against any kind of transactions with suspicious players.
We do not encourage out-of-game transactions as a whole so we won’t be considering any claim involving out-of-game counterparts.

Sorry for the inconvenience.
If you have any questions or comments, please, contact me via private message.

I was wondering why Pete was even responding to the dude.

Well done, guys.

I have reported his PayPal account also since selling illegal goods or services is fraud.

Nicely done, Pete and Ubisoft, in exposing the guy for what he is!

If I get it right, that guy hacked Ubi to get those credit?

[rexseraphim]

What a minute, I just logged in the market and saw that guy buy 3 rare cards from me!!!!

[kyleess]

Yeah. I hope you guys weren't planning on buying any of the monsters of mayhem tonight. They ALL GONE.

[rexseraphim]

What a nightmare.

[kyleess]

He just started putting them back up for sale. Prices as low as 12,000 credits! What a bargain!

Just check the market and many rares are at insane price, what's going on ?

[kit2x]

Thanks guys for being vigilant! I also hope most of you guys pulled out your cards from the market. It seems that every strong rare card has been bought or has an insanely high price thanks to this issue. I guess it's back to buying packs for me...
