<![CDATA[How do third party stub sites work?]]>I'm completely naive about this stuff, but with all the talk of bannings, it got me thinking about the actual logistics of this stuff.

So, do people actually hand over their credit card details to a sketchy website and then trust said website owners to surreptitiously transfer the stubs to their account via dodgy, inflated marketplace purchases? Or am I totally on the wrong track?

Putting aside the ethics of it, the idea of doing that is wildly risky to me.

Sorry that happened.

It all sounds super sketchy.

[censored], people are trusting.

I wouldn't be putting my credit card details into a sketchy site, let alone giving someone access to my PSN.

I was young and careless 7th or 8th grade I think then but thankfully it was just for mt no credit card or debit involved. I am completely Nms but if I where to spend money it would be on the actual game itself let’s just say a lot has happened since the 2k scam in just life Ive gotten anxiety and panic attacks pretty bad since then thankfully not as bad as it was a Cpl years ago, I’ve learned to control it more and as a overthinker no deal is worth the reassurance I would get by just buying it the right way.
