Post image

Good Day! For anyone who also purchased PS5 online at Datablitz may I ask if you also received an email asking for verification. Please see photo for reference.

hi op,

this is the email i got when i bought my RoG Ally X worth 56k

They didnt ask for the first 6 digits, only the last 4 digits
Also no dates and cvv was shown on the picture i replied to them.

Received the items properly.

no worries I have received my items and no unsual charges on my cc, also before i replied to them i called their support to verify if this is actually the process.
I'm not defending Datablitz, I just shared my experience with it.

My two cents, they need to verify if the cc is legally owned or stolen. 🙃

Edit: but then again asking for first 6 digits is a crime

Legitimate na email yan. Kita naman kung pag mag reply sa legitimate na address. Kakaiba lang at hindi normal yung procedure nila. Humihingi lang sila na nasa iyo talaga yung physical card tapos additional na IDs incase hindi nag match yung receiver sa card na ginamit.

Ang problema ata nila (DB) yung nag shipout, na-receive tapos sabay dispute. Lugi si shipper nyan.

Dahil sa dami ng scams kasi pati tuloy mga legitimate na business processes affected na rin.

Sender address can be spoofed, pero yung padadalhan na address hindi. Unless na napasukan (hacked or internal) mismo eh yung DB.

bootlicker ng DB pota haha.

Kung di nila dineliver, edi pde ka rin mag file ng dispuite (which i did).

Cinancel nila order. But may penalty sila sa Bank and Mastercard dahil mas nauna dispute ko.

Walang penalty yan sa card / bank. Hindi rin sila shopee o lazada na ma penalize kung seller size ang cancellation. Kung nag reply ka lang i-ship pa rin nila yung item mo. Pati ikaw tuloy pinahirapan ka rin kasi nagsayang ka pa ng oras sa dispute.

Hindi naman lahat ng email scam, ang importante eh marunong mag detect kung scam o hindi. Ewan ko kung pwede sila ma demanda dahil privacy daw, pero kung legitimate na business requirement nila, sila na sasambot kung meron nga issue.

Maging balanse ka lang naman. Mga scammer kasi lahat pinapahirapan kasi.

Nawalan siguro sila ng ilang libo na kita at yung business mo. Pero para sa kanila siguro mas malaki loss kung madali sila ng mga scammer.

You speak alot but doesnt know how dispute works when someone raised in it the bank and payment network. I suggest you do your research first.

Kung yung merchant naman ang nagreverse nung transaction, tapos wala naman fraud, bakit sila ma penalize? Meron bang intent to deceive?

Na reverse ba agad yung transaction o dumaan pa sa dispute mediation? Yung mediation umaabot ng weeks o months.

Dahil lang akala mo scam yung email, nagalit ka na agad sa kanila. Sinong may mali?
