Well this is my first time to purchase something on their site and when i do purchase there was message like The current transaction have an unexpected problem, all money have been refunded, please contact support. So i check my cc and money is not refunded, ask their support and they told me that i never order that game. So i don't know am i scammed ?

Well, was there any balance change on the credit card because if the money was not taken in the first place, there is no point in refunding...

Also, believe it or not, as quickly as they can take it, it takes longer to refund it - assuming that funds were actually removed from your account...

GMG is legit, I've spent a lot there. Write on their FB page to get better help. If they still don't help, ask your bank to reverse the charge.

I don't think they scam you. But I suggest using Rixty credit, then use them on GMG, it's safer and better. GMG has many issues with cc in the past

The site is fine, the joke is that some credit card companies have them marked as a gambling site - as far as I know nobody knows why.

Did you use VPN? I once had vpn on by mistake when I did paypal transaction and got the same thing. It was $5 so I let it go. Speak with customer service although you are violating their ToS if you used vpn.

I don't know i have static ip adress and there was a 20% off coupon at their site for games so i used it for Tomb Raider and got this issue and lost money. So i just open it with Mozilla firefox and i don't understand what you mean "you shouldn't from your country?" ?

VPN is used to bypass regional restrictions. Let's say I would want to buy and activate a Russian CD-key which isn't available in my region (to save money and so on...), and this is against the ToS. I/we don't accuse you of doing it. But if you did the... Phew.

Are you sure they took the money off your account in the first place? If they did, the refund will take more than minutes to come, usually 2-3 business days as I think it needs to be checked by your bank.

Otherwise you might want to contact GMG. They're legit and quite friendly, so you'll have it sorted in no time.

"Hi,

Your bank processes the refund so we are unable to do anything in this instance and you would have to speak to them. Sorry for any inconvenience caused.

Kind regards,

Well, then that's the thing. If it happened just today, you need to wait until next year. I suppose it depends on where you're from, but usually this kind of operations don't happen over the weekend so I would expect it to only be sorted by next week, around Tuesday/Wednesday.

You can still contact your bank if you want though, but I doubt the money is lost in the ether of the internet.

Bank operations rarely happen on the weekend, and even on a weekday can take a couple days for returns to post.

I tried to make a purchase through PayPal one time with a prepaid Visa card. Well, it declined the card, but it held one dollar off of it for like a week or two. How they could access that dollar but not the funds to make the purchase, I'll never know. Prepaid Visa cards are crap, though. Very few places accept them. Prepaid Discover cards, however, are where it's at. I've never had one of those declined. Just make sure you register the card through the card's website.

My bank took 3 days to process the cashback I got from GMG, so I'd say if they already did it, it's up to your bank to process it. I use MasterCard.

Until there's really something wrong, GMG is a good site, it's where I buy most of my AAA games due to all the sales and stacking vouchers they have.

When you start a transaction on a card, it debits the money as it starts. When the money is not taken, the money will be refunded between 24 and 72 hours later

Hey Coolyou, Green Man Gaming has contacted us with an official reply on the issue. Please see the below.


Hi Coolyou,

I'm sorry to hear you've had purchasing problems at Green Man Gaming, and that you are concerned about having lost your money. I'd like to assure you that this is certainly not the case.

Whenever a bank payment is refunded it can take your bank 3-5 working days (not including weekends) to process a refund fully, after we have sent the request to them. This is likely the reason why you have not yet seen it come back.

If you'd like to contact me directly please feel free to do so at james.livett@greenmangaming.com and provide me with your support ticket number.

James

Call Your bank and ask if there's any amount of money stalled for confirmation. Usually You get Your money back in about a month. Don't panic.
