Key in 31 minutes

Tried to buy two copies with credit card but got the verification email asking for my whole identity or to withdraw my purchase, its such a sweet deal that I contacted support asking if there is any other way and if other payment methods also require this verification process. Has anybody actually sent them this verification?

oooh thanks! Fingers crossed mine goes through fine!

Edit: Got my code in about half an hour \o/ Paid with paypal balance from the UK.

Thanks I just bought one even tho I have sleeping dogs :P

after an hour I got the standard e-mail of needing my passport as my account is from a Bad country (USA) or high dollars value ($2?!!!!) or my Paypal account is not verified (my account is verified and was one of the very 1st accounts; their account is not verified!). So I will ask for refund and dispute it on Paypal.

Selected Visa/MC via Skrill and won't complete without mobile phone code verify, which it does not send.

I have made acc on same mail I have my PP on and they still want my verification. I've sent them strongly worded ticket and I'll wait for answer. If they won't budge I'm gonna request money back. No way I'm sending them my private information. Thanks to OP anyway for effort.

Okay Germany here, told them i´m from Italy paid with german Paypal verfied with different E-mail adresses, waited half an hour reading this thread and pissing myself^^ then got the key. Thanks for the tipp!

Great find, I paid with PayPal, I'll see how long it takes and if they require an ID. If it matters, I have a PayPal Smart Connect which is where the payment came from.

Those that paid with Paypal - did you pay with your balance, or a Credit Card? I used my card to pay via Paypal, and the verification email does mention 'credit card fraud' ... so perhaps it could be related to that?

Worked fine for me from UK, thanks. :)

Thanks for the advice

thx

Paid through paypal from Spain, and received the code in 20 minutes. Thanks for the heads up, i'll keep an eye on this shop from now on.

In USA. No code but request for Passport after they received my payment. My account was created in their first month of operation in 1998. I have spoken with my friends at Paypal and they will investigate the companies practice as they should not ask for a copy of a passport. And by the way they are not a verified account and now under investigation.

Regarding the ID verification they're requesting.

I worked as a support representative for an IT company once - selling stuff online to people.

Depending on the amount, price, country of residence (yes, we were able to see IPs and thus places of residence of our customers) and the type of payment (Credit Cards, Debit Cards - there are several types of them actually - or PayPal) we had a multi-step standard verification procedure. If a person was using a Credit Card - we sometimes could ask for a copy of ID to avoid the risk of fraudulent activities.

For example if a person logged on from France, placing an urgent order for $2000 and paying directly with a credit card, indicating in the billing details an address completely different from the place they're logged on, that could indicate that the CC is stolen. In this case we were asking for an ID of the cardholder (although we didn't need any private information, just to see the first/last name and the expiry date).

Donno why they would want to verify a $1.95 paypal order though, cause - that is a VERY VERY cheap order and furthermore, PayPal itself has very nice security and they have their own verification methods.

EDIT: We had a very strict policy regarding this matter - NEVER EVER VERIFY ANY ORDERS VIA PAYPAL. We were strictly prohibited to ask for anything, even if an order was for $5000. That (if I'm not mistaken) was connected to a rather strict policy paypal has in regards to processing money from a customer to the company. Such actions (like asking a customer to send his ID) could lead to closing of a company's paypal account.

I was asked to verify. My Paypal is us verified. I don't want this anymore how do I get a refund???

10/10, would buy again.

I'm from the US too, and was asked for verification as well when I used Paypal. Using my cc resulted in payment failure notice saying I exceeded the max failed attempts on the payment even though it was my first attempt. I contacted their support for a refund and will give them a couple hours before I go through Paypal. Anyone happen to have an extra key they want to trade for another game on sale? xD

When I filed my dispute I told PayPal about this thread and my problem was not unique. A Paypal representative just called me and told me they would like every one who was asked for any form of govt ID as verification (like a passport) for a purchase through Paypal to file a dispute so they can see how many times this company is breaking the terms of service they agreed too.

Bought it from Brazil using credit card. Key arrived immediatly both in e-mail and on site.

I used a verified PayPal and paid from balance and still got the 'pls verify identity' notice so it seems that it's random. I replied with an english email asking about the just approving of my order seeing that I'm just a real customer buying one copy of their game, not a fraud bot of some sorts, we'll see what happens ;)

They want me to verify by phone for some reason. What the heck?

Lawl. Told me to verify my Paypal acc, like no. Dispute has been filed :/

Opened a dispute, there's no way i send my ID.
