when you pay, then you call charge back and get banned for it.

Yes, to build off of what Pixelatorx2 has said, it's basically when someone makes an online purchase (like a server update) but then call up the payment company (bank, paypal, etc) and say that they never made the payment. Well the bank is going to give the buyer their money back, but they will consequently take back their money from who ever it went to (the server). The thief keeps their money and hopes to keep their rank. This is illegal and unlawful, and it adds a modest loss to the victim. So be careful if someone offers you an upgrade on MCSG, as a fraud will get you banned. Don't be a victim, be smart.
