Fifa Points MYSTERY, the virtual currency does not show and leaves the British aside

EA said it was "still investigating reports of missing FIFA points" for players on PS4 and Xbox One.

Thousands of players visit Twitter and other social networks to complain about paying points to be able to buy Ultimate Team packs on the company's Black Friday sale, but only to avoid having them on time.

In response to this morning's complaints, EA's help account on Twitter said: "We are aware that players have still not earned points since last Friday and we are considering them. add again. "

One of the typical complaints of Joshua on Twitter is: "I missed almost all the event, too worried about putting more money without getting the price I paid for Your business is far too fast to take money from players.

An unhappy Aston Villa fan on the social networking site also summed up the sentiments of the players, stating, "It's crazy, we only have Fifa points for the promotional packs and they'll be gone a long time ago. "

"The same thing happened to me in FIFA 17, I did not have the bad after five days of awarding points," said another speaker, recalling how old the problem was.

Last week, it was also reported that frustrated players were heading to the black market to try to get their hands on cheap spots.

Notifying the dangers of such Black Friday scams, Baylor's Cylance Jack recommends that FIFA 19 players and other games be very suspicious when sites and online accounts offer "free" points or virtual currency .

"Avoid resellers" too good to be true "on auction sites such as eBay, especially for computer games or related products such as" FIFA Points ", said the cybersecurity researcher.

"People often place fake game codes that claim significant discounts from purchases made directly from the game's manufacturer or from reputable markets such as Steam, Microsoft Store (Xbox1), or PlayStation Store (PS4). left to themselves with nothing more than an absurd chain of letters and numbers to show for that. "

And as it is Black Friday, there are many examples of accounts offering "free" FIFA points on Twitter and elsewhere, even if all these offers must be viewed with extreme suspicion.

EA 19, publisher / developer of FIFA 19, reports on its website that receiving FIFA Points from unauthorized distributors is "against our rule", which means that players may have their EA account suspended if they decide to launch.

In addition, players may also disclose sensitive information that may subsequently be used against them, possibly to steal money from their bank accounts.

That's why it's always best to earn FIFA Points by the appropriate means, for example by purchasing them at the official Fifa Ultimate Team Store or at the official PlayStation and Microsoft stores.

And players should also be on the lookout for Black Friday scams aimed at other video games, such as Fortnite.

For example, Twitter also hosts a number of these scams, which promise free "V-Bucks", the game currency that Fortnite players can use to purchase new skins and emotes in the hugely popular online shooter.

And they should also beware of scams unrelated to Black Friday, as they are already "spreading" in the state, according to a recent report from the cyber security company ZeroFOX.
