DO NOT use SL to buy anything using your bank account, mine got cleared out

A big thumbs up on this question...answer please.

Although I'm about certain what it will be. His Linden transaction history will show someone Linden purchases and the money sent somewhere else. Basically, someone got his password, logged in purchased Lindens and laundered them. Simple internet fraud case. I'm convinced we'll never get that clear of an answer from Chaos though.

This has been, depending on the post, the most maddening, frustrating, and hilarious thread I've seen anywhere. At times I have just wanted to pull my hair out, but I keep coming back to see what happens next. Will Rebecca say something else completely insane? When will I pee my pants from laughing too hard at Trout and/or Vampaerus? (It's only a matter of time.) Will Chaos ever make sense.....and...if he's English, why does he not know how to spell "phone?" Will Blizzard come to us to save us from ourselves? Or do we have to settle for Rebecca's heroism? Will Chaos ever make sense? Is this the thread that brought back Brenda from the void? And is she sorry now?

Okay, I have to go now. I just got an email from some girl in Russia who wants to be my sexual friend, and she sent a picture. My gut tells me that to download the picture is not a smart thing to do as far as internet security goes. But the Chaos inside says open it.

Decisions, decisions......

just go thru someone else's backdoor and DL the Russian hottie there. Oh just stay out of any in the UK tho just on the off chance it's someone we know.

Agreed. Each and every transaction from LL should look exactly the same to everyone. No wonder our banks get confused, and put stop payments to SL, if LL can't even represent itself correctly. Jesus. What a joke.

Are you saying that I should go to an internet cafe maybe? I could check my PayPal account and my bank balance, too.....good idea. Thanks a bunch. I knew I could rely on you people.

It's one of those new high-definition .exe pictures, right? Yeah, open it!

Disagreed! I'd rather be able to tell the difference beween in-world buys, web page LindeX buys, automatic buys from an auction win, etc, etc..

I will agree that they need some standardization, though.

I meant to your bank account; we don't need banks to be reporting transactions from/to
Linden Research Inc, Linden Lab, Secondlife.com SECOND LIFE.COM, etc etc.

/me too! Though I think the upper case/lower case thing is done by the bank itself. I get all transactions, SL or not, reported in all upper case.

I wouldn't mind seeing "Linden Lab LindeX", "Linden Lab InWorld" etc..

I've worked in customer service several times and it was standard company protocol that if a caller used foul language or became verbally abusive in any way we were to politely state that if the caller continued to use foul language we were going to hang up and they could call back when they could speak civilly(or words to that effect).

The response was about 50/50. Some apologized and the conversation continued. The others were still swearing as my finger disconnected them.

I just fail to understand how anyone in their right mind thinks that swearing will somehow advance their cause.

Me? I swear like a docker when the mood takes me, but never in a situation like that.

Here's another good question: How is the OP going to be able to afford Second Life, if his/her bank refuses all charges from LL?



Call taking for a repair center was my task. It was more like 50% apologized, 25% got hung up on and the other 25% proposed marriage.. O.o; *shake her head* Cursing got one put to the back of the repair line.

I'm british what do u expect! and my L$ history shows 1 transaction, my bank shows 2

Right but what do they SAY? What does your L$ transaction history SAY?

The British don't have common courtesy?

Civility. Professionalism when dealing in a professional environment. The ability to regulate your speech. Every other British citizen I have ever met, and it has been quite a few, has had no problem with self monitoring, so "I'm British, what do you expect" is inadequate and an insult to your fellow countrymen.

Now, what does the L$ transaction history say, please? Try to cut and paste it so we get an accurate answer devoid of foul language.

Something tells me we are never going to find out.

We do. He doesn't.

What, that excuse again?

Simon Cowell does insults in great style. You don't. Sometimes, you hardly do coherent speech in great style. *coughs*

I think he's told us the answer.

Thats what I was thinking also. It's been asked numerous times by everyone and still nothing. Maybe he just posted to stir up chaos.

My apologies for the above comment I made if thats the case. I was pretty sure I had read every page over the last few days as this thread was going on and never saw an actual copy and paste or definite wording from the history.

I must have missed it too. My apologies for my comment as well if that is the case. I just haven't seen it.

He gave us a little clip and paste from his bank, I believe, but nothing from the SL Account Transaction History... correct if I'm wrong!

He hasn't answered the question, and he doesn't want to. I'm British too, and we Brits do understand english, so he did understand the question, but he doesn't want to answer it. I imagine that's because he realises that he's screwed up.

What he did say/imply (in that quote) is that the transaction was for the purchase of L$, otherwise nothing concerning it would show in the his L$ transaction history. So, unless he's just waffling, he's been screwed by someone other than LL - if any of what he's said is true, of course.
