    This is funny.

    I don't see what anyone would gain by doing this, unless they wanted to scam a ton of minor prizes from your account...All the good things are untradeable.

    Thanks! I was about to buy a skilling service from someone not so trusted when I saw this as I was scrolling down. I checked and my details showed up :X .. You potentially saved me a load of money.

    I actually encountered this situation when I sold one of my accounts. The kid bought membership with my "saved CC" info that I had no idea was even still on the account...

    Yeah this was a huge issue within hours of SoF "Buy Spins" being released. Alot of players aren't very happy that their real life financial information can now be compromised...

    Thanks for posting though.

    Good catch, this will prevent scammers from potentially wasting hundreds-thousands from your credit card.

    Basically you should never have your credit card info saved on your account for safety purposes. I hope noone has actually bought spins from the wheel, buy mils, you have a better payoff and its cheaper.

    Good looking out. It should def be on announcements for sure. Check your CC or Debit card statements if you have lent your account out.
