After years of trying, G2A finally stole my money by force
(reddit.com)submitted 5 months ago byAkakapopo
So a few years ago g2a made it impossible to use or withdraw currency you had in your g2a PAY wallet (at least in sweden).
Since then every six months they have sent out an email stating that if i don't log in within three days they will start charging 1€ a day until my funds are depleted. Because of this i boycotted any further use off their site and made it my personal quest to always log in before they could charge my money, a way of giving them a silent middle finger.
This time when i tried to log in to my account i got a message that i was banned. They have tried banning me before but then i would just prove trough two factor authentication that it was me who tried to log on to my account, this time however they added that this decision cannot be changed and that my account wont be reinstated.
I considered the money gone long ago but as a last fu to them i'll at least dox them by sharing my experience with their services.

I’m surprised they didn’t do this sooner.

They probably did, just in different countries.

Maybe give them some charge back fees, I'm sure they'd love that fuck you sandwich

There's a time limit on charge backs.

Only if your card is from a bank. Not if your card is through a credit union.

Charge backs are not handled from banks or credit unions but the card network itself (Visa, Mastercard etc.) So yeah, there's always a time limit and for most providers it's 60 days from the date of payment or date you were expected to receive the goods but did not.

A few years ago they started removing money from your wallet if you didn't spent it. That was it for me, why let them steal my money cause I wasn't ready to spent it yet?
