WoW Credit Card Fraud : Out of fucking control

Just got hit with over 100 dollars in unauthorized subscription fees from Blizzard entertainment. Called the bank up and cancelled my fucking card only to learn that there were two other charges from Apple.com
I am not looking forward to seeing the final damage of this, I am especially nervous about the purchases from Apple.com, they were made days ago but the actual dollar amount still hasnt shown up on my transactions.
Apparently, thousands of people are getting fucked over like this.

If any of you have WoW accounts and a Visa credit card, or have purchased any NCsoft games as well, I recommend checking your information regularly. Apparently Blizzard AND the Bank both admit that this fraud is booming.
:x It's a very dirty feeling having hundreds of dollars stolen right out of your account and knowing there's nothing you can do. I am filing for fraud but doubt that anyone is going to re-imburse me. I'm also a little disgusted at the fact that all the payments are 'pending' but cannot be stopped.
Anyone else going through this?

FUCK BLIZZARD. They're making billions of dollars and couldn't care less about all of this fraud because it's just more money for them. Instead of simply closing the accounts that are taking in all of this fraud money they are like ' YAY GO HACKERS! BUY BUY BUY!' meanwhile they've got their billing support on the phone telling people "I'm very sorry there's nothing we can do."
MOTHER FUCKERS!!!! *gasp*
*wheeze*

According to the internet it is.
Or are you complaining because they aren't compensating you for it?
That's what she said! Ahaha!
Luckily, in the US most banks offer a feature called "fraud protection". Also, just about all credit cards offer this as well. It means that you are not liable for fraudulent charges (so I didn't have to pay shit).
If you don't have this feature, you probably hate freedom.
Nope, I buy the cards.
DO YOU HAVE A BROTHER FROM MIT WHO WILL HACK OUR COMPUTERS?
What are you, some sort of canadian freedom hating hippy masturbator?
PARKER, YOU'RE FIRED! <-- My comic book podcast! Satan look here!
Hey that's my line.
Also a tiny baby infant.
hell, twice they called HIM to let him know that there has been a compromise and they are sending him a new card
basically your bank sucks and you suck for using it
so true
Unfortunately alot of people use debit/credit and the banks aren't calling them in to doublecheck suspicious charges. I think 5 one month subscriptions bought all at once is pretty fucking suspicious...
Also, you can't stop a charge once it's been made. The payment is in transit and neither side wants to put a halt on it. They basically force you to pay for the loss and file for fraud. Blizzard sent proof that it wasn't my account making the charge so we should be re-imbursed... that doesn't change the fact that they're sitting on hundreds of thousands of stolen dollars and doing nothing to stop it
the bank has to handle this, and the feds through the bank
