My daughter is a level 39 at wizard101.com
She has been a rule-observing-hard-playing member for over a year - needless to say plenty of time and money spent here.
Last week my daughters account was compromised with $75 of bogus charges put on my debit card on file there.
My first reaction was my child made some purchases; but after seious investigation I could see that if she did make these purchases - the purchases have never been added to her account. So regardless- no product has been delivered for these charges. That in itself is totally unacceptable from any online merchant!
Not only that - she is a good kid and swears like I do we did not make these charges.
Also, the email was changed that is associated with our master account that controls purchases - this email is not ours and has never been and in fact the email itself looks bogus.
My point? I have emailed wizard101.com about ten times to all their available support emails - with all the information they say they require. I am unable to use their support forums because of the bad email now in our account - we can't get replies or reset passwords if we try!
I have called the phone number they list as customer support and they tell me they don't answer or monitor the calls - and I should go to the support forums at the site ! Watch me run in circles wizard101.com! Thanks a bunch! [not]
Wizard101.com is ignoring us. They have yet to respond in 7 days and they promise 48hr response. The could care less for my daughters level 39 account that she cannot play as we have been set to trial members now (we cannot update our billing info)and obviously wizard101.com cares even less about hackers and bogus charges going on their customers charge cards.
The money will be returned... that is a chance I take making purchases online - but what now for my daughter? Sure there are worse things in life - but you tell her (ten yrs old) while she has a melt-down not being to play her came where she left off last week.

Kudos on the quick response to this post, KingsIsle. Obviously, I don't know what happened with the OPs original support requests, but that you handled this immediately upon reading it is impressive.

i also encountered a problem a bit different than yours but still an unresolved issue. I was doing the crafting quest to get the transcendant badge. YOu have to craft an Eagle War shield which i did. When I went to turn the quest in, it did not give me the badge therefore I cant craft anything for that level.
I contacted KingsIsle many times with images so they see I crafted the shield but not one person has responded to me.
I am not sure what to do as I already contacted the headquarters, I also sent emails to Tom Hall, and others and it seems to me like they really dont care about any concerns or technical issues there clients have.
We have repeatedly replied to you, young Wizard. You seemed to find us on all venues except the one you really should be using.
Tom Hall is not an employee of KingsIsle Entertainment. The correct contact for this sort of issue is our support team at [email protected]
We are aware of this issue and it will be addressed before the end of the year. You have our apologies for the inconvenience but this does not prevent you from progressing through the story line or completing side quests.
...Happened across this post while I was here voting. I have contacted customer support on several occasions during my gameplay up to a level 85 wizard. My results? Very courteous, timely, and in every instance helpful responses, even when occasionally the error was mine. I have no connections to the game or KI other than as a happy gamer. Hope your experience improves, hope you get your shield soon,
ah
I know how ya all feel.About a year ago, I sent numberous emails to KI about me missing plants and missing pets.their response was that the loggs say that the missing items was removed by the account holder. I told them that I hadn`t done it . but yet they refused to fix the problem of the missing pets and plants.My wife and I have paid membership for over 2 years and have been playin since almost when game came out and yet they ignore or tell us these buggs aren`t their problem.worst part is that the seeds for the plants was won in battles and the pets were bought from CROWN SHOP at HALLOWEEN and X-MAS and I had to replace all the missing stuff at my cost.And I bought my own security program to stop people from getting in my account at my PC.
all I got to say is : KINGISLE GET THE BUGGS FIXED AND GET A RELIABLE SECURITY PROGRAM SO THINGS LIKE THIS WON`T HAPPEN TO THE PEOPLE WHO PAY YA ALL`S SALARY(US CUSTOMERS).
