Re: Scammers selling simcash, simoleons, platinum and golden keys...

The amazing thing here is that the seller says he/she needs a linked facebook account for this to work.
In the description he/she writes that buyers should sent their facebook credentials along with their paypal payment! I am attaching a printscreen.
I had to post my first message 2 times, the first time it was marked as spam!

I do not know if the link to the eBay page was the reason but it still did not strike me well that my message was marked as spam when it was just reporting scammers who abuse the game...

  • @RoccaAmare There are so many things wrong with this situation...the absolute last thing you want to do is to share your access. Perhaps when one of the COMMUNITY MANAGERS (not shouting at you just virtually waving to get your attention) passes by they will forward this to the appropriate parties and have it addressed by their legal team. Thanks for sharing.

    @PinnacleValleyhacking game is so much easier then playing honestly and EA allows it.

    Nothing is done to cheaters. I just met a team who had most players com level 1 and get thousand pops max still having mag lvl15 and most had SB lvl15, mb lvl15, quack lvl15, b movie lvl 15 etc.

    I also just checked none of the 100% sure cheaters have been removed who I have reported in last month. I mean war lvl10-20 people having many attacks at lvl7 and having avg scores of 200k.

    Anyone can count how long it has taken to get to those levels with those avgs. Not many wars as you don't need much points at the beginning.

    If even so clear cases cannot be booted...
    Btw both of the last reported teams are in top 200 even those are clearly mostly fresh cheaters and few so called honest players using those cheater cities

    Btw I have been asking from support about legal team and haven't got any answer. Been asking mostly contact info 

  • @PenakynaI have seen a lot of players with the abilities you describe. However, I am not sure if you can buy your way to the top by purchasing these abilities or if it is just plain cheating.

    Certainly EA needs to take a look at this, kinda out of hand right? 

    I'm impressed.

  • @Penakyna  Sorry it took a while to get back...I see the same things you are seeing and 100% of my contacts outside the forum that play the game are sharing the same feedback. The only person I have heard that is experiencing some success is @Duckups. I don’t doubt what he’s saying, it may have something to do with their climb toward the top - which makes it extremely selective.  
    If you get a chance take a look at the thread “Let’s try something different” which offers an alternative method of identifying cheating - it is focused on CoM, but the basic concept can be used for war games by changing parameters monitored. The proposal completely gets away from players reporting players which clearly isn’t working and allows EA to better use their resources to track real time play and deal with cheating now...focus on today and you’ll address your issue...continuing to focus on the past will result in bumbling & mumbling & stumbling & tumbling & eventually fumbling away your profits.

    @PinnacleValley I cant tell if us reporting at start of war does it, rank, fact that we have some major spenders, or me posting here does what happens, I'd screen shot it all, but they say its name shaming, as they should be. But anyways. We have had teams of 20 where ea left one player on the other team, we have had teams of 16 or so where half went away, and we could pull off the win. It is well known teams use these hackers for items, and say, we didnt know. Lol.

    The hacker teams keep moving up, we cant keep up. We even are talking to a team with real players that can do 1 million legally a war. One person.. we out rank them, lol, they cant seem to get help from EA. They think I work for EA. I do not.

    What is our secret... no idea. We dont have the same effect in a feeder war
  • Got one question. Are we allowed to post here messages we exchange with the technical support or is it against the rules?

  • @RoccaAmare  Sorry it’s taken so long to get back...I really don’t know if It acceptable or not - I see nothing in the rules that forbid it. I certainly do not have an issue with it and have seen it done multiple times and I have paraphrased feedback (just to clean up the English) I have received. If you are concerned contact technical support and request direction just to be safe.

    One user who joined my club last year was actually persuading users not to hand over their Facebook credentials but actually allowing him to get into their phones to transfer files in exchange for cash. More fool them, they lost their accounts after being banished to the cheat servers and had to start again but even then they were 'given' built-up cities by this scammer and learned to circumvent being banished again by limiting their cheats to certain amounts of in-game currency at one time, etc. Really infuriating.
