Its been a while since i felt the need to start a thread here but this concerns all the residents in world and could affect anyone who sells items ,Last weekl i was unlucky enough to be involved in some type of L$ Fraud and my account was promptly placed on administrative hold i was advised to either send a ticket or call them,after searching for a free phone number to call them i was put through to a lady who advised me that my account was on hold as a suspicious transaction had taken place through my account,i was told to just wait untill my account was activated again and that i could do nothing untill then,15 minutes later i was lucky enough to be back in world and back in business....... so i thought, 24 hours later i have to send a ticket asking why my account was on hold as no explanation is given to me and im left in the dark over the whole process Anyway to get to the point of this thread i have now found out that the reason my account was put on hold was that XXXXX resident purchased L$ from linden labs using a stolen credit card, the resident then proceeded to spend these in my shop. for the past 4 days i now have linden labs taking random amounts of money from my account to counter balance the stolen Lindens brought by the stolen credit cards, im not given any explanation or even a message explaining what there doing, The most frustrating thing about this is that theres nothing i can do to prevent this,when you think that its over nothing stops the thiefs from hitting your shop again and taking your products and you lose the money from your account when linden labs feel like taking it back Now i can understand that the money was stolen and that it needs to be returned to the rightfull owner but why is the security so lax?,also it seems that its not only credit cards they hit ,they hack into peoples accounts and do the same scam with stolen money , the result is the same for anyone unlucky enough to be sent this stolen L$.Linden labs will help them selfs to your account balance when it pleases them I sell no copy items that i have to buy no copy , i wont go into detail of my business here but i cant afford to give away item i have to buy and then get the money taken away from me by linden labs , i lose twice in this scam , im given ZERO support by any in world lindens and advised to file a ticket which goes unread or ignored for days . this scam is affecing a lot of people in my line of business but it could be your shop hit next you have been warned Any comments or advise be great
