They never had to fake the moon landing, just fake the people who were on it. ^^
In a few days, we'll see if any poop hits the fan with people who signed up for credit card via C&B.
Personally, I'm willing to give them a chance for this to not turn out as bad as people are suggesting it will. If I DO run into problems though, I'll be ready to raise hell.
It's already kinda started hitting the fan...or have you not read the posts about people who's cards/banks are flat out blocking C&B when they try to set it up? Think there was one poster in Norway or something that also couldn't get Crysta...yet, they've been able to get along with 3DS/VbV via POL.
Because Click and Buy is a scam company....right?
Sure, you can come to that conclusion if you only read the titles of the searches, but if you actually read the articles, you will see that scams happen with Click and Buy as a buffer. The only thing that people have a real problem with Click and Buy is customer service. Which the company will have to fix themselves.
Blaming Click and Buy for someone running a scam that you fell for and use them as a payment method is the same, the exact same as blaming FedEx for bringing you bad news. Are you going to sue FedEx for bringing you bad news? Do you think you will win?
GUYS IF YOU TAKE THE TOTAL DAMAGE OF THE FOURTH, SEVENTH, AND TWENTY-SIXTH BREW HITS YOU USE TO KILL SHINRYU ON HITLER'S BIRTHDAY IT WILL SPELL BILDERBERG GROUP IN HEXIDECIMAL
Think you meant to quote someone else. I never mentioned searching anything, nor articles declaring it was a scam. I was talking about one of several posters on THIS forum in recent threads who have been told by their financial institutions that they are blocking C&B, and that there are some that ALSO can't use crysta as SE is cock-blocking them. I found this particular user's post last night and posted a link to it. They were from New Zealand. There have been a couple others posting since then as well in the Australia area having issues with not being able to make payment arrangements. This isn't some random hit froma google search from 2009. These are REAL people with REAL circumstances happening NOW since this change was FORCED on us by SE, but NOT forced on the JP Region.
Reading is knowledge, knowledge is power.
And... here is another reason NOT to use C&B. A snag posted on another forum. Catwho, a US player (1 state away from me, and uses the same bank I do) used C&B and got slapped with a fee from his bank because the new payment method is no longer using a US based bank and is being FORCED to go through an international vendor now:

Well, just hit my first snag. My bank charged me an extra 60 cents for buying $20 worth of Crysta via Click and Buy, calling it an international transaction. I had no warning from Click and Buy or from SE that there would be the extra charge.
There are a bunch more just like them
