I got the same thing but I did answer the call (was a California #) and it was an automated thing asking me to verify the purchase. I did that and my game was activated right away. But I agree, very annoying. I'm used to paying thru paypal or credit card and having the game available for d/l right away.

Despite the processing problems, I do love the game though (and all the LDW games)! Maybe consider switching your processor?

I'm just guessing here, but, because of the rise in fake transactions, Plimus are really looking out for our interests. Perhaps one in every hundred (or whatever) is automatically chosen for a spot check to make sure there's no funny business. Because there's been such a huge number buying VV3 a high percentage of their spot checks have been for that.

Still, Carla has now spoken to them (as mentioned in the News and Announcements thread) so there should be no more problems.

I live in Kansas and sent a check by mail tuesday.How long will it take for me to get the game code?I know it has to clear my bank not worried about that Just wonder how long before I can play?

There's no way to provide an accurate estimate, since a lot depends upon mail delivery time, too.

My purchase was approved around 5 minutes after I paid via Pay Pal...no phonecalls either.

I have a verified business account though, so maybe that makes a difference.
