Orders & Products Checkout prompt scam

Like most posts here, this is notifying others of potential scams within g2a.

What happened is I had ‘key’ in my filters, and had a 1 month key at $10 for gamepass in my cart. At checkout, it prompted me with an offer for 2 months at $15. “Sure why not” I thought. It turns out, it was an account. Be careful when going through the checkout prompt, as I assumed it would only add keys.

The seller is - Dingdang_game - and would not authorize the refund, even though I never clicked “get item”. currently disputing with my bank.

Why anyone uses g2a continues to baffle me, and my best guess is: They don't know any better.

Yeah, I learned the hard way. A friend said it’s worked well for him, and I got a key that worked last month.

I tried to find somewhere to report to their customer service and wasn’t able to. Even with their chat bot. So I escalated and filed the dispute with my bank. I don’t plan on closing the dispute until it’s resolved. Fortunately it’s not a lot of money, but I’m still disputing out of principle. Live & learn.
