    Sudden burst of gems

    So, I was playing Trials Frontier on my iPad the other day, and after logging in for the umpteenth time during the day, I went from having roughly 3 gems, to 880.700 gems.
    No one but me uses my iPad, and I can't imagine anyone would've what, hacked my iPad and bought 151 gempacks just to **** with me?
    So I'm guessing it's a bug of sorts, but cancelled my creditcard just to make sure.
    Anyway, I'm kind of on the fence about using them, and wrote a mail to the store support asking what to do, but haven't got a reply, so now I'm
    trying here.
    Has anyone else experienced this, or can someone tell me how to react? I'm scared and alone and just want to play Trials comfortably.

    Gem-wise, its a position I would like to be in. Perhaps you might want to check your recent purchases... just in case (no harm in checking)...if they are there then I suspect cancelling the credit card is too late in some respects. . .and you will have to start dealing with RL/Apple on another level.

    I dont think anyone has experienced it to this magnitude; some people have been double-charged I think, but in all cases I have heard of there was a transaction going on at the time.

    But if there are no transactions... there is always the chance that the sudden bug you tripped over might eventually trigger some "anti-hacker" code RL has put in... but that is HIGHLY unlikely, considering the blatant hacking that is currently going on and still visible in the leaderboards. Sorry to say, RL talks a good game about hack detection/fixing, but the evidence has been that they really dont do much at all. So if you can play still the game right now... then I suspect you will continue to be fine.

    Sometimes bugs occur in your favor; now that you have posted, I'd say you should thank the Frontier gods for the mana from heaven, and start using them.

    Haven't made a single purchase, and haven't been messing with stuff I shouldn't have. Well... I think I'll still wait for some official response before I go on a spending spree, just to play it safe or whatever
    I guess my only fear is that I'll somehow get charged because of coding or whatever? Dunno how this stuff works. Well, keeping crossed fingers like ducks on roads
