A WTF POST: WOW GOLD PIG GETS RIPPED OFF…AND BLATANTLY AT THAT
You all know how I HAAAAATE copycats. You all know what I think of websites that BLATANTLY rip off another site’s design and copy.
You also know how I detest Wowmine with a passion and a machete (and how they hate me in return, but like I give a flying f*ck!).
Wowmine is a mine of lies, WE ALL KNOW THAT.
Just when I thought they couldn’t sink any lower, they just hit Marianas Trench-bottom with this latest stunt:
(Click for a larger image)
Who the hell is WoW Gold Hog, you ask? Well, lemme ask you: what’s creepy about the image, kiddies?
Hint?
You remember the first gold seller I reviewed at the beginning of this year? WoW Gold PIG?
Yeah, that’s the real McCoy. That’s the real porker. And the Pig is ballistic. He emailed me from his personal email add and he was mad as hell Chuck Norris.
Can’t say I blame him. I’d be pissed if someone got a domain name that’s sooooo close to my own domain name, ripped off the site design and copy — OBVIOUSLY done deliberately and maliciously and in order to route the Pig’s customers to their own copypig copycat site! And when I asked Cletus to investigate this abomination, he quickly reported back to me uttering the words "Wowmine, dude. It’s Wowmine’s site. Your whipping boy has done it again. They’ve done the impossible: even Chuck Norris is shocked . WoW Gold Hog’s McAfee and Verisign badges are FAKE . They sure know how to play dirty, the bastards."
MOTHER@#$%ER ASS SPELUNKER!!! were the three words that hit me like a bolt of lightning.
"Yeah I know, my sentiments exactly," Cletus said. "Those brothers behind Wowmine make scam artists like Bernard Madoff look like a choir boy."
"Brothers? What brothers?" I sputtered. "Oh right, Marat and Sade."
"Who?"
I switched my reference to something more low-brow and contemporary. "Lyle and Erik Menendez."
"I thought his brother’s name is Gordon."
"You know what? Forget it! But thanks for your help!"
"You’re welcome. Now what’s the Pig going to do about this?"
"I don’t know. Let’s just wait and see how this all plays out."
"Should we call Chuck Norris for help?"
Hmm, that’s not a bad idea.
********************************************
UPDATE!!! MORE DETAILS!!!
Sorry, kiddies, but Cletus forced me to add the images below at the last minute, if only to substantiate his findings. I don’t mind though. I’m grateful to him for finding all this dirt PLUS finally updating the medal roster!!!
Anyway, the screenshots are from Who.IS. If you go that site and look up wowgoldpig.com and wowgoldhog.com, you’ll see the registration details AND you’ll see that the Pig came first before the Hog. Ha!
This is the Pig’s….
The Pig’s domain name was created in November 2008.
And then this is the Hog’s…
The Hog’s was created in February 2009. And lookit the address: 501 Silverside Road. Cough cough. Rings a bell? Read my post about the whole WoWMine scam and that address for more tales of thievery.
So the question “who copied who?” shouldn’t even be asked in the first place.
Lastly, thanks to reader Clysta for sharing in the comments section the transcript of her chat with that Hog agent. You rock!

Dear f*ck you! with IP address 74.220.207.119,
You said: “…and f*ck off EGF.” — Sorry but you are not my type.
You said: “F*ck you wowgoldhog.” — Be my guest. Happy fornicating. Don’t forget to wax lyrical about bestiality in your own blog.
Cheers,

Wow. WowMine has so many hidden websites. Kudos to that site you posted. Helps to find out if it’s them a whole lot faster. (And if what this chick said is true, I made her cry. Lmao)
Lestat de Lioncourt on 06 Mar 2009 at 1:36 am #
WOWGOLDHOG is obviously a f*ckin scamming site again by Wowmine. Damn those people. No originality. They always steal something from someone.
Shame on you, Wowmine people!
How dare you tarnish the name of such a good site?!
WOWGOLDHOG IS A FRAUD. WOWGOLDHOG IS A SCAM!!!!!
WOWMINE = SCAM + FRAUD
Clysta on 06 Mar 2009 at 2:57 am #
Haha. I made another….recent conversation with WowMine and their two customer reps “Alice and Karen” (Again!) when I accidently stumbled on another wowmine “sister site”. (Gotta love those sites secretly owned by wowmine.) Both of my chats were terminated, and one had Alice telling me if I didn’t have anything to ask about gold, to not talk to her. Congrats on the fantastic service wowmine! ( ‘.’)b

OMG… I just posted my comment yesterday. And now I see this…war of Pigs and Hogs!!
Those kung-fu guys never stop imitating… Oh well, just like the bags, shoes, clothes and other stuffs from China, I’m sure (100000000.00% sure) wowgoldhog has no quality.
@Clysta - *Round of applause* *Standing Ovation*
Anyways, I smell a roasted hog on Chuck Norris’ Birthday.

wowgoldhog.com S.U.C.K.S!
wowgoldpig.com R.U.L.E.S!
Spot the difference.
Amber on 12 Mar 2009 at 4:51 am #
It’s freakin’ obvious that they’re hiding, look at the hog shades and the way it laughs. Looks like a certified scammer and a de*&n
Bloody Ogre on 12 Mar 2009 at 4:47 pm #
Wowpathetic that should be wowgoldhog’s name should be. To OBVIOUSLY imitate wowgoldpig.com is way TOO pathetic. Why not have wowgoldpig.com owner file a case or something like stealing intellectual property or such. Screw the hog, too much bad cholesterol on it.
Rain on 13 Mar 2009 at 6:35 am #
Lmao, nice illustration. Kill the Hog and give them a lesson.
Diane on 17 Mar 2009 at 4:06 am #
No matter what, I’ll still go with wowgoldpig ‘coz of excellent customer service.
meatwad on 21 Mar 2009 at 5:33 pm #
I just noticed something when I checked wowgoldhog.com’s About Us page, it says on the description tab:
“About Us - WOWGoldhog, Conglomerate Team of Professional Chinese WoW Gamers.”
hmmm… smells fishy (hoggy?) to me!
Ratman on 01 May 2009 at 9:08 pm #
I ordered a very small amount to test this hogg, and I am going on 8 hours and no delivery yet….
5 mins my ass.
