They were testing the dump of stolen credit card numbers. OP did a great service and was rewarded appropriately.

Why would they do such an expensive option for testing

[–] chicken@lemmy.dbzer0.com 21 points 3 months ago (1 children)

How expensive is it really? I looked it up and apparently 800 robux costs like $3. It's probably worth something to them because it isn't a transaction to an unused account, it's some random kid who is a real player, so less likely to get automatically flagged as fraudulent and law enforcement tipped off.

Not the robux, the lifetime outrageous club. This is an old membership tier, and cost $349.95

Because they want to test if the card can be used for purchases of that size without blowing up in their face

80% chance that to this day, ilovebeatles123321 is still the password.

I bought someone Builder's Club before. I was just nice like that.

nonono... roblox can't be that old... financial exploitation of children for that long and nothing done about it?

Roblox has been around for well north of a decade at this point, but for the majority of its time it was nothing like it is now.
