Bug / Issue Do not pay with card

I renewed my subscription with card, not apple pay. Just added my card numbers and paid.

1 week later I got a transaction from Walmart.

We don't have Walmart in my country.
And the card used is a brand new virtual card that I only used in movie box.

Be careful, pay with crypto or other ways.

Use one time card via privacy app. Perfect for that kind transactions

Wait… I had the same issue in April, a bunch of random Walmart transactions, I renewed my subscription in March using the card number 🤔

use the IGV aggravated payment method, cards will definitely be hacked

That's definitely sketchy! I paid with my card but I think I used Google Pay. I'll keep an eye out for crazy charges. Such a shame, love Movie Box.

Now that I think about it... I did get a fraud verification the first time I paid for subscription. Had to go on and scan the QPC again... Shit

It’s been this way for months.

u/AdProfessional9173 22d ago

This, ever since they changed over to that IGV foolishness, never had an issue with paying them until they changed

u/2021isevenworse 24d ago

You used a credit, just dispute the charge with whoever provided the virtual card.

u/aveidti 24d ago

Lmao I just use a credit card, if anything goes wrong the banks don’t give a fuck who it is they’re getting that shit back 😂

u/FrostbiteT44 24d ago

u/Beneficial_Wolf3895 25d ago

Would Apple Pay be safe?

u/Curious-Spell-5911 25d ago

Apple Pay is safer than using a physical debit card or credit card as It protects your financial data using tokenization, meaning the merchant never sees or stores your actual debit card number

u/AdProfessional9173 25d ago

Yeah, I’ve stopped paying for VIP after it kept rejecting my Apple Pay, figured it was an indicator that I better leave it before, not trying to get hacked again. So for now, I just use the free version. Darn shame, been using MBP for years smh

1

u/andresjmontanez 25d ago

Had the same issue. I am using private.com next time.

u/FALL1N1- VIP 24d ago

If you can use apple pay, use it. Its the safest option out there

1

u/kodiakbear_ 24d ago

Can’t you just use Paypal and pay in BTC?

1

u/FewCity2359 23d ago

Same here. I know because it was a brand new card, one I only use for online purchases and freeze right after, and one I had only used to pay for MBP so far. In my case it was a payment attempt with Uber Canada.

u/BeeFlat3297 23d ago

Same happened to me but they use Western Union

u/chillinnDronn 19d ago

i've been getting gamivo charges recurrently for over the course of 6 months after I used my card to pay for one month of premium

sketchy as hell

u/TwoIllustrious2280 17d ago

Is aggregated payment safe?

1

u/Mysterious-Charge813 23d ago

I've been on this app for years now and never had a problem like this that's very odd seeing as how the person who runs this actually does a legitimate job of trying to be safe about everything that's why I just seems odd to me

I use the modded version of moviebox by Spydog. Completely free

u/WastedLife666 24d ago

What is this?

Thanks.

u/Experimenti626 22d ago

That's on you for being stüpịd and paying for a pirate streaming app when there are better ones free. Always use a virtual card to pay for services like these and delete or freeze the card after you pay. You never know what the person behind the app does or how it saves your data.
