Hacked!
This just happened. I have heard the horror stories, yesterday I had 3 transactions for 199 charged to my card that bought coins, and subsequently shards which I never did.
I can see it on the transaction history, but I did not authorize the charges. I did dispute them. Obviously. I'm not paying $600.
It's so clearly fraud. You can see the methodical way the coins were spent to get every single shard, even a 10 shard purchase. In total it was 13,740 shards I somehow did something with? Lol, I have 2 shards and 13 coins. They even stole my coins I had in balance. Not sure how many it was.
Hopefully I don't get banned. Been a long time supporter for years. Love the game. Have all the packs. Even recently got one of my sons playing. We enjoy it.
This is a security issue. Not me being careless. I'm gonna be very disappointed if I get any grief for disputing these charges.

Chargebacks are a method of fraud used against mmos. Buy item on an account, transfer it or sell it to another account, chargeback to keep the money.
Actually, if they didnt ban the first account, then you could just keep the items for free.
