Certain websites and individuals might offer discounted Gold, free upgrades, or "sanctioned programs". Don't be fooled: these are scams!

RISKS OF SCAMS

• Vendors gaining access to your account and potentially hijacking it, often with the purpose of selling it to other players
• Releasing your private information/credentials to third parties, permanently placing your game and financial/online security at risk
• Putting your account at risk of being disqualified from leaderboards, events, and game features - not to mention suspensions or even a permanent ban - due to purchasing gold from third parties

GOOD TO KNOW

Often, third-party vendors can afford to offer gold at cheaper than the normal in-game price because they are using stolen payment methods.  This is a crime, so please do not get involved in this kind of activity.
