GOLDSOON.COM: TOPPING INTERNET TRAFFIC THIS SOON? Plus How Soon Can I Get My Gold? (1/5)
I know I’m deviating from my list and I know that I said that the spammy site who leaves spammy comments in my comment section will never earn a WoW Gold Facts review. But this relative newbie is just begging for attention….in a desperate and comical way.

Goldsoon.com.
Aaaw, check out the tacky hearts that serve as the "O’s". And the cryptic tagline "Deliver the gold to you soon beyond your imagination."
Tacky graphics and tag lines aside, what piqued my curiosity about this site is the fact that they are a relatively new site (not even a year old) and already their Alexa rank is a mind-boggling 2,672.
Now to those who don’t know what the Alexa rank is, in a nutshell the Alexa provides information on web traffic to other websites. (copied and pasted that from Wikipedia). An Alexa Rank of 1-100,000 is awesome. That means many, many, many, many people visit your website (and baby, there are bazillions of websites in this world).
But it just bugs the bejesus out of me how Goldsoon - just another gold seller in the market - can have an Alexa rank of 2,672 while Hustler is at 9,516. Someone explain that to me!!!
Histrionics aside, I’m really baffled. And what addles my pate even further is this claim:

"Goldsoon has rich experience in VCT (Virtual Currency Trading) industry." — For someone relatively new, that raises an eyebrow.
"We also set up worldwide branch offices in Europe, USA, China and Hong Kong." — Their reach is global for a newcomer. That raises a second eyebrow.
"To Make sure our customers can get WoW Gold Faster, Cheaper and more safe, we have established the long-term cooperation with 18,266 WoW Gold farming studios in China." Holy cow, 18,266? You better not have any minors working for you, Goldsoon! I’ve heard one too many horror stories about Chinese RMT sites employing little kids to farm all day and subsist on gruel and 4 hours of sleep a night. It will be a cold day in hell before I buy from anyone that exploits children!
Now who are these people??

Looks like three people’s Facebook photos were borrowed for this little section. LOL. I’m bad, I know.

Hmm, they have US, UK and German numbers. But not toll free. Eh, forget it.
Now on to the FAQ with text that looks like Google Translator was used to convert the original copy from Chinese? German? into English.

"We are one of the soonest gold sellers in China." — THE SOONEST GOLD SELLERS? HAHAHAHA
"We are the largest wow gold suppliers in China, owning over 2000 units of computers and 4000 Farmers" — NO SH*T. Someone help me with the math. With 18,266 WoW Gold farming studios and just 2,000 PCs, we’re talking about a lot of empty studios out there.
"Gold arrives at when you are playing! What a wonderful thing!" — No, hombre, it is NOT a wonderful thing when I am in an instance. Your timing better be perfect.
"As you known, it is the safety that is the most important point when we choose to buy the gold from website!" - Er, if you say so
And this is the clincher:
IS IT SAFE TO BUY THE GOLD IN GOLDSOON.COM?
A: I always speak to myself: If I were a wow player, I will choose Goldsoon!" — WHOA WHOA DADDY….you always speak to yourself? Are you like schizo? And what do you mean IF you were a wow player…you mean you don’t play WoW at all? What business do you have selling something for a game you don’t even play?
Okay, this is scary sh*t. I don’t know if reviewing you would be the wisest thing to do…
Let me think about it over my morning espresso.

Looks like pictures from an adult dating site. LOL.
Goldsoon.com - sounds like another scamming site to me. I won’t dare buy gold from this site. I’d rather buy from Wowgoldpig.com or IGE.com than go to any other site.
