OOFAY: OOH LA LA, PLAYING DIRTY EH? Plus Everything About Them Sucks At This Point! (1/3)
Ugh, I can’t sleep! Why oh why did I take THREE espressos after dinner? I am so wired I am picking up AM Radio. I have the shakes that the Richter Scale can’t measure. And I’ve been snapping at everyone — my next-door neighbor, my landlord, my landlord’s dog, and the OOFay customer service rep.
The what customer service rep, you might ask?
Okay, kiddies, a couple of hours ago I was preparing for my next WoW gold-selling site review. I was all ready to review IGE.com , which has been in the eye of a legal storm since last year ’cause of some Tony Hernandez who whined that IGE was ruining the fun for him. I Googled "IGE" to look up more information on the lawsuit plus some…and saw this:
(Click for a larger image, kiddies)
Sponsored link says: IGE, www.ige.com, 4-year XP, 200,000+ Gamers Served! Instant Delivery, 24/7 Live Support.
For some reason, I found it amusing that IGE had to resort to some McDonald’s-like copy to stress how many customers they’ve served…and I clicked the hyperlink.
Only to be led to THIS SITE!!!!!!
Loaded with espresso, I nearly had a seizure the splitsecond I clapped eyes on the landing page of….
What kind of a @#$%ing name is OOFay?
Seconds later I was on the phone with Cletus.
Cletus: I’ve heard of them. Their name is retarded. The double O is from that infinity symbol whatchamacallit they have before the ‘fay’.
Me: Jesus, Cletus, they used IGE’s name to redirect customers to their own friggin’ site!
Cletus: Playing dirty, those bastards. Why don’t you do a review on them?
You bet your 401(k) I’m doing a review on OOFay.com !
First, let’s critique their banners, shall we?
OOFay stands for: "Oracle Obeys Fantasy and Yearning" . Whoa! Pretty deep. Kinda reminded me of the silly quotations printed on the Korean-made stationery my ex-girlfriend used to write me a letter saying she wanted to break up with me ’cause I loved WoW more than I loved her. Silly accusation! So I forgot that we had a date ’cause I was busy playing WoW from sunset to sunrise, and I forgot that we were supposed to meet at the restaurant. But that was just a one-time incident!
Okay, make that four times.
"Unbelievable Cheap, Secure, Reliable and Efficient Service." Bad English. Bad copy. Unless they’re trying to say their service is unbelievably cheap too, which I suspect it is.
"Welcome You. Escape The World. Find The Fairyland." Was this copy lifted from an ad for a drag queen club?
"Your Satisfaction and Delight are Our Best Reward." Was this copy lifted from an ad for 1-800-Hookers?
"– Oofay Teamwork" . It’s supposed to be "Team", not "Teamwork" you geniuses.
"We are not your only Choice but your Best Choice." Prove it. I’m gonna contact Live Help and see for myself.
Tsk tsk. I waited 10 minutes for someone to respond, kiddies. We’re off to a bad start.
Kelly of OOFay picked up my chat:
Kelly the Inconsiderate OOFay agent either did not understand me or was handling several other customers simultaneously. Or maybe both.
Two Halley’s Comet have passed and still no reply to my very basic question about delivery speed.
And it took the dame another 10 minutes to tell me they had no stock and to expect new stock in a week . Brilliant. Then she totally stopped responding and left me out in the virtual cold. Everybody, kill her!
To order or not to order. Do I have enough money in my PayPal account? Yes! Am I gonna accept Kelly’s "no stock" answer? No! Their website says there’s ABUNDANT stock on my server. That lying chick!
Okay, that was childish of me. But can you blame me for doing that after the crappy non-service that Kelly of POOFay rendered me?
Now to wait for my gold.

Childish? Nah. OOFay deserves to be called POOFay based on the crappy customer service alone. Kick their a$$es, Extreme Gold Fan! You rule!

I too got ripped from those thieves. type in an alt email addy and change the area code just to prove this is a scam site. Then bam you get happy ending kelly telling you she will check your order but then looks and relizes she has been f$cked right back after you b^tch her out about ripping you off.
Oofay will pay on 02 Jun 2008 at 6:16 pm #
Yep, I got ripped off too. I placed and order a week ago and haven’t gotten a single response but one in an email that said they are faming it (gold) all the time and please don’t worry.
Tried to call thier “HOTLINE” and get a answering service 100% of the time.
I hope they rot in hell.

I didnt really get ripped off by oofay, but they did lie. Those sh** faced F*#$ers tell me that they will call me in around 10 mins to place the order. 2 weeks later, about 5 emails to them and a like 1352508923 calls NO REPLY. Another week passes, and those @$$ Holes call me at 4:00 AM to tell me to go online cause they want to give me the gold… DO NOT ORDER FROM OOFAY!!! THEY SUCK BIG FLOPPY DONKEY D1#k.

They are bad news!! I so wish I had read this first…

I hate those scum sucking !$#@#$%@#%@’s I have sent them some really nasty emails just trying to get them to say something different and I got one that actually told me my order was being put on the URGENT fill list. That was three days ago. I’m guessing they have a bunch of level 10’s farming copper to get gold at the rate they fill orders. I wish I would have seen this site first before ordering from the those @!#$#$^%$%^!

Zack on 06 Sep 2008 at 3:28 am #
Yep got the same ol crap from them put in my order a few days ago they say their accounts have been banned but they were going to give me my gold as soon as they can on top of that they wanted me to take a extra 1000 gold after I kept repeating that I wanted a refund I still don’t have any gold but I made a claim with paypal and hopefully everything goes alright and I think I will talk to interpol about their fraud.

I order from oofay because their site said they would deliver in 5-27 minutes. I contacted customer support, they said their accounts got deleted and they needed a few hours. I contacted them again in 12 hours and they needed more time. I waited another 12 hours, they needed more time still. I filed a dispute in paypal, and they responded to the dispute within 2 minutes, again asking for more time, and to remove the dispute as it would slow things down. I suggest buying elsewhere, but not from mygamesale.com either, as they are doing the exact same thing.

These guys made me LOL so much…
I just spammed them with constant emails…. And yes they do reply after each one..
i asked why it isnt instant delivery like we are PROMISSED then it says 8-24 mins delivery… Oh and then it says 24 hour delivery and lastly it says 48 hours… Ive waited 79 hours for crine out loud!
I asked them in email “How much gold have you actually farmed so far”
they replied “Your order is ready soon”….. 2 days later… “Our accounts banned blah blah we be ready soon”
GTFO noobs -.-
