They don't work. No website can just book free stuff on your account. There is always a catch connected to it. A Virus, or you have to enter credentials, or maybe having to complete a security offer which wants your phone number which they can sell (so you can get a lot of spam calls/mails). Even if they were to work, they would not be legal as EA wants you to pay money for their premium currency. If they wanted to give it out for free legally, they would likely do it via voucher code or a free give-away.
These hack-tools or hack-websites almost never work and only steal at least one thing from you. And if they DO work, then the game has terrible security and you could do it without the hacking tool. - Ragarath5 years agoNot applicable
I'm guessing most of them are a scam. I certainly would not give my username out to a website.
In all honesty if they were legitimate, why would they need your username?
- hayhor5 years agoHero (Retired)@MatoruMT Likely a scam to steal your information. I'd bet a lot of the bans people have gotten started this way.
- @Peri_Longbow_plz So then how do the give aways on YouTube work?

@Lord_Scorpion34 Pretty sure you can buy apex coin cards, so that way I'd imagine.
Back to the OP though, if it sounds too good to be true, It is. Keep yourself protected and avoid these scams like the plague....worse case scenario you'll lose far more than your account.

Just to add on to what everyone's mentioned here, I would HIGHLY recommend going through this page if you've ever entered any of your account information into another site.
https://help.ea.com/en-us/help/account/how-to-maintain-account-security/
It's extremely likely that those types of websites are phishing sites intended purely to collect account information and attempt to compromise your account.
Those scammers will also often take that information and see if it can be used to access any other types of accounts (emails, bank accounts, etc.), which is another good reason not to use the same login information for multiple accounts.
Keep yourself and your information safe!
- E9ine_AC5 years agoHero+@MatoruMT If it is not sponsored by EA them self it is a scam. Only purchase from people they endorse or themself.

Hey there,
This thread is quite a few years old and is being locked here to avoid further necroposting.
Feel free to create a new thread if there's a subject you're wanting to discuss that doesn't have a more recent topic, though in this case nothing has changed from when this was previously discussed and I would avoid these types of sites to keep your account secure. Thanks!
