My initial login was compromised; they altered my email, password, and username, making access impossible. I attempted recovery via basic email, but no confirmation was sent. Reaching out to EA proved frustrating—they insisted on my account details without a chat option. Eventually, I contacted an advisor who guided me through the process. They confirmed my account originated from Russia and clarified the gender of the person involved. This situation left me confused about how I ended up with a support representative.

I also inquired about the cost of Mirror's Edge Catalyst in Canada, wondering if it matched its USD price. The advisor explained it was priced in CAD, which seemed unusual given the game’s $39.99 USD cost. They suggested using a 15% discount code for potential savings. Despite my efforts, I couldn’t secure a valid code, as it appeared limited to certain regions.

The whole experience highlighted how easily personal information can be misused and the challenges of resolving such issues without proper communication.

Understanding Russian seems secure... but it feels biased. Just a joke.

I remember when my account got hacked, I reached out to EA for assistance. They processed a refund for the game I purchased and then banned my account across all EA servers and origins. It wasn’t a pleasant experience.

All hackers and scammers come from Russia, while poor Dota 2 players are from Peru.

EA support stands out among many options, though it's puzzling why some criticize it heavily when competitors like Activision and Ubisoft perform worse. Interestingly, a friend had his Origin hacked by a Russian hacker who reset his security questions to Russian. He regained access but still can't fix the security questions.

When I discovered my account was compromised, there was no recent communication about it. My email attempts didn’t yield any useful results.

It definitely felt tough back then. You're right—they can be called too when they have strong abilities to alter situations.
