STEAM/VALVE, this is a warning Block BoaCompra in Brazil, fast.

[vfn4i83]

BoaCompra, the local method for south americans use to easily buy games, is billing the consumers and not forwarding the money to STEAM.
Act fast or this might get even bigger. They are not responding and got no contact, what so ever.

There seems to be a bit of a misconception. If they scam money out of people and NOT send it to Steam, then what exactly do you expect Steam to block?

[vfn4i83]

Turn off, that particular, paying option. Try to mitigate and stop then.
Till it can be assed and cleared from wrong doing.

That was a stupid problem, its ok to have some problems. All systems do have problems. But how they are behaving, has clicked in mah brain, and sounded a alarm bell. Dont seem that I was the first, nor the recent, seems that they are locking small amounts.

Just saing, have a eye on then; they been acting really suspicious these past month or so.

Are they really stealing the money tho? Because since they work with boletos and they system is not so automatic usually can take to 3 days to confirm the purchase, sometimes I buy in them and if I buy on Friday I only get the game after Sunday or so... They also don't work on holidays and stuff like that it's a very slow method, but how long did u wait?

If they stole the money that's a crime you could go on justice for that for sure... But how long did u wait?

BoaCompra is the only payment method available in our currency here in Brazil.

Like OP, some users have problems making payments with a national credit card, and are spreading fake information, instead of buying by "boleto bancário" (an identified bank deposit), which would work without problems.

I never had any problems with BoaCompra, and my almost 1,000 games were purchased through this company.

This thread was quite old before the recent post, so we're locking it to prevent confusion.
