    Hello ******!

    The charges that you mentioned that are showing from PhantomEFX would actually be charges from one of our games that you or someone in your household, with access to your marketplace app account ******* Play, Apple, etc.) may play, such as Quick Hit Slots, Gold Fish Casino, or Jackpot Party Slots Casino. Please refer to our website listed below to see a list of all our games.  

    **************************************

    All charges for purchases within our games come through as PhantomEFX on bank statements and may not show the actual name of the game due to the initial setup of our account which, from time to time, has caused some confusion.  

    A receipt is sent to the email that is attached to your marketplace app account ******* Play, Apple, etc.) for each of the transactions that they process. The receipt will show which of our games the purchase was made on.

    Hopefully that clears everything up for you! If you ever have any in-game issues, please don't hesitate to reach out to our customer support team using the in-game support button found in the settings menu.

    We wish you the very best!

    I was charged 3 charges while I was asleep from ****** phantom efx. I did not make these purchases and this is not the first time it has happened. I do not have my credit card linked to ANYTHING. I do not understand how these charges are happening. I do not play video games of any kind. I do not use this card to make any types of online purchases. Stop getting my account info and charging me! This is ridiculous. I can't even contact ****** phantom efx to find out why this keeps happening. I ****** it, and it gives me this. Your company is a scam and fraud. Stop and refund the charges.
