MMOGA.COM: OUR FINANCIAL PARTNER, THEY SAY Plus You Mean Like Lehman Brothers? (1/4)
2:00 AM. Can’t sleep. Can’t rest knowing I recently paid a whopping amount to pay off all my bills. I hate being in debt; hence I decided to just bite the bullet and wipe out everything in one go.
I’m now debt-free but my bank balance is lower than Jessica Alba’s IQ.
I need to do a new review ASAP. I got sidetracked by different issues and forgot that I have an obligation to my readers to review a new site.
Even when I’m broke.
Aaaarrrghhh!
Wonder if Cletus or Remus needs gold and would like to order from MMOGA.com?

"Your financial Partner in the World of Online Roleplay Gaming", their banner says. This cracks me up a bit. It’s trying to sound legit by taking on the tag line of a financial institution. I guess they’re trying to come across as the Lehman Brothers of virtual currency trading or something.
But we all know what happened to Lehman Brothers, right? Terrible business.
Anyhoo, let’s check out MMOGA.com a bit more and see what they’ve got.
WoW US gold price (for 1000): from $14.74. Um, okay.
Wonder what the price is on one of my servers?
$18.83 for 1000 gold. But I want the $14.74 price tag!!! Aaaargrhh.
And what about delivery methods?
Mailbox. Pretty standard.
Face to face. Still pretty standard. Yawns.
Official meeting points for the WoW gold committal….COMMITTAL? Woohoo, FANCY! I got a nosebleed just from reading that one. LOL. Anyway, where was I? Oh yeah, for Alliance, the meeting place is Goldshire and for Horde, it’s Razor Hill AKA Lowbie Land. *smug smile*
And then we have….
Comfort Trade?!
This just eats away at me:
During the payment process you have to enter your account information. As soon as the WoW gold is in stock, we log into your account, create a new character on your server and deliver the WoW gold directly. Additionally the committals happen between 1-18 o´clock Gmt+1 so that we do not disturbe you while raiding. We recommend this type of delivery, because we are able to transfer the WoW gold fast and secure to your account. Your account information is used trustworthy and will be deleted out of our system after successful transfer. Hereby we ensure maximum security and a smooth delivery.
Two comments:
1. You must think all customers would be naive enough to give you guys their account information. No decent site would resort to this practice. Well, while you’re at it, why don’t you just ask for our Social Security number and online banking PIN?
2. The copy needs proofreading and editing. Badly.
And how fast do they deliver?
12-48 hours, but they can PROBABLY fill the order within 1-12 hours after payment receipt.
Fair enough. At least they don’t claim to deliver in 5 minutes. *cough cough*
And how’s their customer support? I always love a good chat. 
WHAT THE —
BOO!
No 24/7 Live help? Okay, MMOGA.com, that’s many, many, many brownie points lost in my book. BOO again!
And you say you’re always there for us?
Hmm, so their price is sorta okay (could be lower), their live chat is offline (shucks), their delivery methods are standard (with the third one being very fishy but I obviously won’t select that one), and they give a decent ETA…..and I need a new review so will they do?
Yeah what the heck go for it but will have to make some calls at the crack of dawn.

they are terrible i went for 800 gamer points and they apparently deliver between 10-15 minutes. They said they could get my order to me after 24 hours (once i spoke to a german woman who could barley speak english that is) they even asked me to send a picture of me and my passport hahahaha. A very fishy site that i beg people not to use.
