Gameloft scam? - Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

When I purchase game in canada from the gameloft website, they send me a text telling me to txt to 60999 and 2.50 charge will apply. So I bought two games from them and they charged me 5$ last month. The company they use is txtnation. Com, this month I did not buy any game and they charged me another 12.50.... Now when I call gameloft about it they tell me they don't see the 12.50... And deny 60999 is their services.. Any insight on this anyone?

The texts I get from Gameloft when I buy a game provides me a link to download the game... I have not gotten anything telling me to text another number...
I have purchased 4 games from them so far.

Did you check the url of the site, you thought was gameloft??
sounds like a classic phishing scam to me

Yea its gameloft website. It detects my phone and when I type in my phone number, it gives me the games I've bought before.

O and i called them, they confirmed that I bought two games from them but can't do anything about the other charges because their billing department is not live. I need to email their support department for that. Either way the guy on the phone denied 60999 is associated with them.... Even though that's the number they used to send me my games... And of course the person has records of those two transactions. So the website is 100%legit.

I never texted them or received a text. I just put my phone number and email and just download the games. If I want to redownload them I just go into my download section and that's it.
At first I had trouble when I downloaded my games again and didn't know about the my downloads section.

How do they charge you then? There's no such option for me. I use the stock android browser when buying the games.

Is your carrier supported by gameloft?
you can do it with credit card/debit and they send the download link to your phone.

I buy games from my desktop computer. I created an account on Gameloft.com and buy games through there. Only when I created my account was I able to see my purchase history and was given the option to re-download games...

.....
Just got a trial version. and then it gave me an option to buy or cancel. I chose cancel and then the game downloaded and loaded up as if i pressed BUY and then i received a text. reads; txtNation. Thanks for your purchase. with a pin code and cost. with a website of sd.txtnation.com...
is my carrier being charged and it will show up on my next bill?? or what?
AND
are there any additional charges?
Im also in canada...
Anyone had same thing?/what were your results?

Mr_Rabo, You can buy games through your carrier and it shows up on your bill so I would think that's what happened to you.

Thanks!
Thanks for this mate! Will save me, and many others, a lot of money . Owe you one.
If I'm looking at the right thing, it's currently offering some rubbish called Green Farm.
Looks like farmville or something, I'll check again in couple of hours.
I don't know, they offered Let's golf 2 HD on friday and Order & Chaos today. One more free game tommorow.
OP said every two hours, what did I miss?
Is it one free game for two hours of each day over the weekend?
I'v visited the site and can't find these free games you mention.

Ok, so what time do those two hours begin?
Last time this happened we got Brothers in Arms 2 which was compatible.
Someone posted the link for the apk on gameloft's site somewhere during that

T-Mobile Name ID

This app seems pretty useful- it has a 7 day free trial period. But I am sure not going to pay $3.99/month to tmobile to continue service. Anyone have other recommendations for similar functionality. I'm guessing there's a lot of apps on the market that could replace this.

I think that's the one that instead of showing a unknown number calling you, it somehow looks up their billing name of what they are using to call you and displays that.
Precisely, it shows name, city, state
You should try truecaller app available at truecaller.com. This is ~$5 one time but does it's job. Very much same as T-mobile ID. This does show up even when dialing an unsaved contact number. I love this app and good thing is you can search for any unknown numbers. A must have app.
Cheers
Mr number is the best .. a lot of times will get the name as well

I bought this long time back. I have been using this for past 6 months and worked 8 out of 10 times. truecaller.com/?p=price_plans, paid version gives you additional features.

The free version doesn't get you the caller id stuff. Its 2.99$ in app for the caller ID functionality.

2.99 USD one-time fee (Free Android) "
"Where to pay?
You´ll find the payment option in the TrueCaller-app."

This now seems to be a free app.
Thanks everyone. Truecaller seems to be the way to go. I feel sorry for the people that actually get suckered into the bloatware. $3.99/month for this service is ridiculous.

What do you guys think of the Whitepages.com free app? Any good?
How do you get Name ID to stop nagging you to pay for it since its cant be deleted without rooting.

Okay thanks.
if the op downloaded the free version when it was free, then he just needs another copy of that apk. EA tracked which phones unlocked the game via their server, so now when someone who didn't unlock back then runs the game, it says it must be bought. But if the op is telling the truth, then the same apk would unlock fine for him since it would check his device id. Just putting that out there..............

Copyright infringement is obviously NOT supported by xda. Even if you got it when it was free, it's not now. This thread needs to be deleted now and anyone that gives the apk is in violation of copyright infringement. I suggest reading the rules before posting or you will get banned.
I support development and so...I buy apps & games when I know some one put work in on it as I would hope others would do for mine, but I could care less about a game that's very old now and once was free. I really don't see that as being a petty thief. I would not be posting it as I know the rules(& more importantly I don't have it to share), but I wont start preaching to anyone (or playing I want to be a federal agent one day if developing fails.lol.) Besides hasn't anyone seen sister act with whoopi Goldberg? If not you can get a copy on www.___.com?:confused:jk.close the thread.lol.

Don't do that.
The Need for Speed Apk in and of itself is not warez to post. The apk distributed by EA contains both the trial version & the paid App, all in one, and they validate on EA's Servers. Since the OP is asking for a STOCK apk, not a cracked one, this thread will remain open.
An example of this turning into a Warez thread would be if somebody were to post a hacked copy of NFS, as opposed to the stock copy.
All references to getting/using warez removed. Any further references will also be deleted.

App Refund

Hi all.
I would like to know how to get refund from Windows Phone Marketplace?
I've found some old instructions, but they are not working anymore and I can't find it anywhere on their site.
Please help...
I don't think it's possible. Before buying app, you should saw the warning: something like "That purchase is non-refundable and can not ... blah-blah-blah". By pressing "Buy" button you've agreed with these terms & conditions.

See the Terms of use:
6.9. Refund Policies.
All sales are final and nonrefundable unless otherwise provided by law or by a particular Service offer.
Provided you have extenuating circumstances, a refund is very possible. You'll need to chat with a representative:
https://support.live.com/default.aspx?productkey=oepwp7cf&brand=oepwp7&mkt=en-ww&
For example... I downloaded Bullet Asylum about an hour before it became available in the Marketplace on my phone. I found it on the Marketplace via my web browser and made the purchase, cuz I was so excited to play the game. A week later, I was fiddling around with my phone and looked up BA in the Marketplace. I had the option to buy it, but it wanted to charge my account again. From the game that was already on my phone, it wasn't showing as updatable AND I wasn't able to send a reinstall link from the website. This was forcing me to purchase the game a 2nd time if I wanted to reinstall it... all due to a small glitch.
So, I got on with a rep via chat, explained everything and had the email purchase confirmations to prove it. Rep had to call me to verify my account/identity. Great conversation, understood the problem, and provided a refund.
So... yes... if the circumstances are right, and a refund is warranted, then it can be obtained. Chat support has been very helpful both times I've used them.
Just curious: how much you evaluate your time? Hmm, spending so much time for $0.99 or even $2.99 is too expensive for me, for example

Like I said... a refund is possible, but pretty much only if MSFT made an error.
Yes a refund is possible! I was refunded already because I was charged twice by the same app I contacted Zune support and they emailed me in my language Portuguese and saw the problem and refunded me! I was refunded too once because I bought one app and now it's not anymore on marketplace its name is perfectscan i reseted my phone and wanted to install the app and couldn't because the app wasn't available anymore.

No unfortunately not. Because, most apps and games come with trial mode. So you could try before you buy. However, for apps that don't offer trials modes, if the reviews and screenshots don't justify value of it, then I don't buy it.

For Fun - What are you doing with your $50 Play Credit?

As the title states.. Just to pass the time and have some fun while we all wait impatiently for our new phones. What will you be using your $50 Play Credit on.
Any awesome apps that are worth spending the credit on? Gems in clash of clans? Etc.
I plan on saving it for something a little more lasting than gems in a game. I'm thinking books, music or movies. Maybe an app or two if I find one I like. I usually get at least $1 a month using the Google Opinion Rewards app.
You can probably buy three Squeenix games with that money. ?

Hopefully trading it in for $35-40 Google Wallet so that I can buy a case and USB cable from the Google store.
DO UK customers not get this offer?
I'll just keep it for paid apps/games I see over time. I don't do the IAP free to play games.
can we get a chromecast with it?

Good topic! Mostly movies and games for my 3 rug rats
I think google should have given the 50 credit for google pay to help boosting the usage.
They were gonna go to My Little Pony gems until Amazon came out with an "actually free" version in Amazon Underground lol
Likely movies. Maybe an odd game or app here or there (not IAPs, just the actual things). Don't need music, already subscribe to All Access.
i will buy an other nexus .. LOL
Buy the Pewdipie's game, haha.
Buy one of the new chromecasts i think... the store shows that i can use play balance to pay for devices when i go to check out..
I'd that's possible then I'll be using mine for a chromecast.. Or perhaps for a speck case

I think its only limited to games,, movies, apps, etc and not devices. If it includes devices then that would be awesome.
