Re: Are they supposed to ask for the credit card details?

The question is, can they access credit card or debit card funds with the last four digits along with your first name, IPv4 address, DOB, and purchase dates? Those are the questions I was asked when I was trying to recover my Origin account. Looks like I'll just be creating a new Xbox account... what a pain in the *.

    @nightforce321  All of the content you've listed is already on EA servers, so repeating it isn't introducing any new risk, unless you think the EA employee you're talking to is the one who will steal your data.  (That seems unlikely.)  However, if you're concerned about protecting your money, you could go through the process and then cancel the credit or debit card after you get your account back.  I'm sure your bank would be happy to issue you a new card with a different number.
