~2 hours ago I decided to buy Awakened DLC for Dead Space 3. It is 124.5 Rubles
now (~$3.8 USD). Usually I buy EA games via (Opera) browser.
This time I chose to do it via the client.
As soon as I filled in my Visa data and clicked "proceed" (_before_ final
purchase click) I've got SMS from my Visa operator that 60 Rubles payment
was made for EA. That was quite perplexing. But I proceeded with final payment.
Another SMS that 124.5R was payed to the same EA address, and I've got the DLC.
(As well as EA receipt for it)

Well, to resolve the mystery about 60R "payment" I evoked chat with EA support.
First guy (Jefferson) was not able to resolve the issue and re-addressed me
to Origin support. Second guy (Mohit) said he sees my 124.5R payment but
no trace of "60R". So he advised to call Russian EA branch (as I am in Russia)
and sent me letter: Thanks, the case is _closed_.

Quite a situation.

Not buying any games from Origin! Look, they can not get their online payments
right, how are they going to deliver block buster games?
