How can I prevent my account from being flagged for suspicious purchasing activity?
To prevent your account from being flagged due to suspicious purchasing activity, please consider the following measures:
- Turn on two-factor authentication (2FA) on your account. Learn more in the article Two-factor authentication (2FA) and how to enable it
- Contact your bank, financial institution, or payment method provider to see if there are any flags that have been placed on your payment account.
- Do not share your payment method or your account credentials. Make sure your password is completely unique to your Epic Games account.
- Make sure that you enter your billing information correctly and that your payment account has sufficient funds.
- Do not purchase V-Bucks or any other content from third-party sellers or websites. Do not use any third-party websites offering V-Bucks giveaways.
