Default Adventure Shop processing system rejects my credit card

Hello everybody,
I have the following problem. The Adventure Shop credit card processing system rejects all my credit cards, saying that "The card you used could not be verified, please try again". Maybe this is because my card is in Russian bank?

Either that or they have problems on the site.
Happened to me too once and I had to wait for them to fix it

Well, I am the only one who is experiencing this problem now. There are a lot of people who have purchased this game today (Sherlock Holmes vs Jack the Ripper) with their credit cards.

Hi Damon,

I noticed a slight change to the layout of the paysite? I tried it and it worked, so my creditcard works now!! But what did you change if i may ask?

Thanks!

Due to a very high level of credit card frauds on the Adventure Shop, we have been advised to raise the level of security and authentification.
It was too high at that time and we revised it.

If you keep having problems using your credit car, we can add it to our white-list upon request.

Another option is to use paypal which is now available on the Adventure Shop.

Well things started working for me again Monday morning... but all those times it supposedly rejected my card? Looks like I was charged anyway. Dozens of charges for a single game!

Please contact our tech support.
Have you received an email for confirmation for your purchase?
If so, what was the email address used to purchase the game?

Damon,

Yes I received one email confirmation at [email protected] (same addresses used for all the purchase attempts). I already emailed tech support and responded to the auto-reply early this morning, but have heard nothing back yet.

I have my game, but right now I'm paying around $200 for it!

Hi Snatcher,

I can only find 2 purchases with the data you provided me, for a total amount of $ 39,98.
Have you purchased more games using a different email address and with the same credit card?

I can not find more assets other than your purchase on the 24th, and the second one on the 25th in our database.

I will do the following NOW:
- refund you one of the two games you bought, according to our database
- investigate with our billing system provider if they accidentally collected more money, as I can not find the amount you mention at that time
- in the case that we would not find more debits, I would ask you to provide us with a copy of your bank note stating the money collection, and would initiate a refund instantly
I am pretty sure that we will clear the situation.

Damon

Thank you Damon, I think things are good now. One of my cards was showing three identical charges on the 24th, but once I removed the hold on that card, two of those charges disappeared.
