WEBSHOPVIP.COM: THE REVIEW THAT DIED AN EARLY DEATH
Possibly the quickest WoW Gold Facts review in history, folks.
I was all set to check out the next gold seller - Webshopvip.com (a random site plucked from a Google search for ‘wow gold’) and I even told my guildie Liv that I was going to give her WoW gold as a birthday present. Naturally, the kid was thrilled. I knew without her telling me that her toon needed serious gems for her new gear and the gold I planned to order for the review would cover her expenses nicely.
So off I went to check the site…
(Click for a larger image)
They sell money for a truckload of other games but as we all know, WoW is still the (only?) big deal there is….
How are their prices and order process?
Uh, okay this is messed up. Why on earth are the realms not in alphabetical order? This alone is enough to drive any buyer nuts. They sure lost brownie points even before they earned it! Tsk tsk.
Guess the United States is not considered a significant country in their parts but the likes of Ukraine and Swiss (???) are. LOL!! And oh yeah, Italian is a country as far as they’re concerned. :p
Their blocks go as low as 800 gold, and the prices run from $6.64, which ain’t so bad. If I’m giving Liv 2500 gold, I could expect to shell out at least $20.00, which is great for my budget. Heck, could even afford to buy up to 3000, to cover JC tips and mats and plus some.
Man, the English just kills me but what the hell…
Time to make my presales inquiry. I got an agent named Stephy and disconnected (wonder what happened there?). Had to get back and reconnect.
I go back to the main page, scroll down and try to click on the McAfee SECURE banner…
NOT CLICKABLE, KIDDIES!
Something ain’t right.
I place a mock order, already quite hesitant to purchase for real as something was starting to gnaw at me…
BUT! the checkout button won’t take me to the PayPal page.
So I contact customer support to ask what the hell was wrong.
Oh my god…
Sisters and good friends?? Why can’t you just friggin’ admit that you’re all descended from the same pile of dung?
I could have been ruder but it’s not the agent’s fault their company is f*cked up.
Ah, look at how she realized her fatal mistake in revealing such sensitive info. Poor girl.
And complete the damn exit survey? So that you’ll know what I think of your site’s mother company? Here, read this post, Shyla. And while you’re at it….
Tell your bosses at THSale to go suck a rock.
No way am I reviewing and giving my money to a site that has hoodwinked so many people NOT TO MENTION grabbed an image of my WoW Gold Facts medal and slapped it on one of their minions’ home page !
My verdict: DO NOT BUY FROM WEBSHOPVIP.COM UNLESS YOU’RE INTO FUNDING A BUNCH OF SCAM ARTISTS.
End of review. /spit

Those websites she mentioned failed to deliver. Therefore, webshopvip will fail too. RAWR! :3

Damn scammers. New name, old game. Webshopvip = new tomato; THSale = rotten tomato. Once a scammer, always a scammer. Tsk tsk. Big thanks to you, Shyla!
