Epic Games Removes V-Bucks And Items Purchased Via Switch Method and Third-Party Sellers

Epic is reportedly clamping down on Fortnite players, who have used the 'switch' method to buy V-Buck. An exploit found on the Nintendo Switch version of Fortnite allows players to purchase V-Bucks and chargeback on their credit cards immediately. The money was spent on purchases, but the V-Bucks remained on the player profile. Essentially, the Switch method is a credit card fraud that scammed Epic Games.

Some Fortnite players have received an in-game message informing them that their V-Bucks and items purchased with these V-Bucks have been removed. However, players using the switch method are not only affected by Epic's crackdown. Many players who purchase V-Bucks and in-game items from third-party vendors have also been affected.

Epic has also removed V-Buck and in-game items purchased through third-party vendors. Although many third-party vendors may seem legitimate, there is no way to confirm whether the sellers have not purchased the currency illegally. So, players are advised to purchase V-Bucks and items through the in-game store.
