Its affected all mastercard transactions in England

don't argue, its a simple fact and I am trying to warn you, not debate about how true it is

No one else from England has commented on this.

Don't argue, it's a simple fact and I'm trying to explain that it's just your problem, not debate about how unintelligent you are.

He did, indeed.

Isn't it about time Strife came and closed down all threads by Archie Lukas. And perhaps temporarily prevent him from posting? This is ridiculous. I think all the people currently paying with Mastercard without any problems would agree. What an idiot this Archie guy is being.

Mastercard is my card of choice for buying internet porn.

(Do I get a kickback for promoting them?)

By the way, Mastercard works like a franchise. Lots of different companies buy the rights to issue their own credit cards under the name of Mastercard. What's more important is the bank or company that issued your Mastercard, in terms of what regulations govern its use.

Didn't jezus have anything better to do than weep about your blocked credit card transaction?

I have neither. Maybe that's related to the internet porn.

Has Strife even been here since Archie started posting? Coincidence? You decide.....

LOL.

Archie I live in the UK and I have several friends that use Mastercard to pay LL. They have not been blocked. If indeed this is the case then it would have been reported in the press as well as the net.

When *any* credit card company sees unusual activity, they will often disable the card, and call the cardholder to verify the transactions. It's normal practice. Linden Labs has nothing to do with this. And the fact that *your* Mastercard was disabled in no way indicates that anyone elses was (my Mastercard certainly still works). Complain to the company issuing the card, if you must, although they are in fact acting in your best interest.

Hmm... the OP hasn't posted since what, page 2? This is page 10 and has become a troll-fest. Let's let it rest in peace, eh? Mod lock please?

It's always funny to see someone come to a forum, claim it's a troll fest, and post a comment asking the mods to close the forums. :)
I always get amused.
Forums are places to post comments, nothing wrong with that... some posts are funner to post on and comment on... people do enjoy themselves... makes for an interesting break from daily life when we can peek in and watch the commotion in such a static environment. But who appointed this person head "troll" ( as he/she so nicely put it )? I guess some people just like to make sure that the forums are nice and neat and uncluttered with unneccessary posts... they make it their duty to see to it that a post wont get carried away.
I can't pass up the chance to laugh in their face. These types of people are not moderators, they're lurkers who seek any chance to stick their nose in and make comments that will make them seem like leaders, do SL moderators really need someone like him/her to tell them to close a post or thread? Maybe...
Maybe the world needs more people like Mr. or Mrs Troll Leader...
Me? I personally just like to enjoy myself.... :)
And if I met this Troll Leader, what would I do... I'd tell him/her to lighten up a bit, it's only a forum, no need to herd the Trolls... most of them are not harmful anyways. Like me... I'm harmless... not really a Troll, but if I could join the masses in these forums, I'd surely love to be the....

The problem maybe that your Bank Manager bought some eXcite goodies in SL using his Mastercard and his wife complained to the Bank??

snip snip snip.

What an ugly and ultimately pointless thread.

Want to know what most likely really happened?

The bank called his house, his wife answered.

Wife: Yes?

Bank: This is your fraud prevention service at work, we'd like to confirm that you've made a few atypical and suspiciously large credit card charges.

Wife: Oh dear! My husband is just a simple vet, we haven't much money... how much did you say?

Bank: 50 pounds sterling to a company in california in the U.S.

Wife: Dear me! What kind of company is that?

Bank: We're not sure, but it seems to be some form of online entertainment, possibly of an adult nature.

Wife: Well, no then! my husband would NEVER be stupid enough to waste our money on that!

Bank: Then you're saying someone has fraudulently used your credit card!

Wife: Indeed!

Bank: We're very sorry to hear that, we'll lock that down immediately to prevent further erroneous charges and attempt to investigate the matter further. Thank you for your time. *click*

Wife: Hmf!
