Seven safety rules for buying digital codes

Almost every scam in the digital code market opens with the same two sentences: "I can do it cheaper for you" and "let's talk outside the platform". The seven rules below stop most losses before they start. 1. Never move the payment off the platform If a seller invites you to another app, to a direct bank transfer, or to a "friends and family" payment, stop there. A payment made outside the platform leaves no record, and when something goes wrong you have nothing to stand on. 2. Question a price that is far too low There is usually one reason a code sells far below market price: it was either bought with a stolen card or it belongs to a different region. In both cases the code can be cancelled later. 3. Confirm the region before you buy Read which country's store the code is for before paying. A region mismatch is the single most common reason a refund process starts, and most of the time the code itself is not at fault. 4. Show the code to nobody The code is single-use and the first person to enter it keeps the balance. Sending the code to someone who says "let me check it for you" means giving them the code. 5. Keep the conversation inside the order What you agreed, how a problem was solved, and what was promised should all be in writing. The chat inside the order does this by itself; a conversation in some other app leaves nothing behind. 6. Secure your account before you buy Turn on two-factor authentication and make sure your recovery email is current. If your account is taken over after the top-up, the balance goes with it. 7. If something goes wrong, use the path that keeps records On Dolina every order carries its own record: payment, delivery, when the code was revealed, and the messages. When you open a support request from the order, that whole chain is right there in front of you. The short version: cheap needs a reason. A discount nobody can explain is not a discount.
