My financial institution has blocked overseas transactions due to frequent fraud losses. I can still buy overseas but it's a real pain as I have to call the credit union, remove the block, do the transaction and then call them again to replace the block. Automatic billing? Fuggedaboudit!
So I tried Shattered Crystal today. Made my buy. They call first time buyers. The phone rang in about five minutes. I had my time codes in 10 minutes total.
Works good. They offer many different time codes for those who play more games than just this one.
They take paypal and most credit cards.
Shattered Crystal is one of the companies listed by CCP as an authorized reseller.

Nah, I don't have anything to do with them except as a customer. But hey, think whatever you want, I don't much care. |

Actually I just used Shattered Crystal earlier today to get a GTC for my fiance. She just started playing EVE so as a gift I thought I would buy a time code for her.
First time using SC, so they had to do the verification. Phone rang but we missed the call. Called back and let them know, then they said they would call back in a few minutes to verify. Right on time, they called back and we answered the questions. Moments later my email was blinking with a new message. Sure enough, the code was delivered in good time and her account was activated.
I know it sounds like just an advertisement for SC, but we're just happy customers expressing our satisfaction with their service. |

Yeah, other than the fact that they kinda suck.
I used to buy GTC's, due to the DKK->USD rate, at evetimecode.com. They were taken over by shatteredcrystal. So i ordered another 90 day GTC there, and it worked just fine first time.
Then i later bought another 90-day GTC, and was informed that i was fraud, and they blocked my order. They didn't make a refund of my money before i requested it, and it took quite a while even then.
I was requested to send an uttility bill and a COLOUR picture of my passport. Hello, this is how majority of identity theft happens
I wouldn't trust Marcus and all the companies he owns(He owns TrustWho, Shattered Crystal and A LOT of sites that breaks the EULA's of numerous games), due to the simple fact that he doesn't have moral at all. Imagine what would happen to my identity if I actually supplied that information.

Amen to that LaVista, anyone who wants a reproduction of a passport is a con-artist almost 100% for sure. shatteredcrystal is going to turn out to be EIB except IRL and on a more massive scale. |

And this is why we don't apply to be a CSM... as per the top dev blog
Originally by: CCP Xhagen A scan of the passport was not supplied and either a personal photo was supplied instead, an expired passport or another type of identification that was not a passport.
Current, valid passport. Yeah... right. |

And there are girls on the internet, despite common myth that they do not exist. They are just rare and in hiding most of the time. I happen to know quite a few, need to just know where to look for them. |

I could prove you wrong but she probably wouldn't want to come on camera for someone on EVE. |

Personally I find Shattered Crystal utter rubbish.
I made a post about it a couple of months ago informing the community about their practice of demanding a colour scan of your passport and another of your utility bill. This was because I ordered too many within a period of a week or so. They of course took the money before demanding this unacceptable form of proof of identity. It took several weeks to get the money back.
To add insult to injury, a month later they sent me an email saying I was now a 'trusted customer' and would I please buy from them again. Since I assumed they were now positive my account was good, I ordered a couple more - they took the money but then said they suspected me of possible identity fraud and wouldn't send the cards. Several more weeks of trying to get my money back.
My advice is to go to one of the many other sellers. I feel silly and strangely dirty in giving them a second chance.

Spot on! He actually sells the WoW Glider tool, which as some of you may not know is a farming bot, simple as. |

In fact, he encourages real money trading: Video I'm amazed that CCP allows this to happen. But they don't seem to care. |

If I have to get up and talk to someone on the phone to spend money somewhere, they don't want my money badly enough for me to give it to them. |

If I lived in the USA, I would inform the CIA, or which ever is the appropriate authority. Having a company collecting, and presumably storing high quality colour scans of passports and related utility bills is not only illegal as I understand it, but a serious breach of national and personal security. |
