WoW Gold Facts

I’m a sucker for rags-to-riches stories. To become somebody from a nobody, to push through bad luck and turn into a bona fide success – that’s the American Dream right there.

But when CheapWoWGolds.com uses it as a schtick to lure unsuspecting gamers, that’s when I draw the line.

“We have made tremendous achievements and become the largest supplier of Cheapest WoW Gold around the world after years of struggle,” the China-based store boasts in its homepage. Don’t fall for the persevering, poor boy act. The only self-made achievements this scammer has is hiding its incompetence.

Luckily, we have Google to uncover all that.

One-Star Failing Grade
A quick Google search turned up two negative reviews for CheapWoWGolds at trusted consumer protection org SiteJabber.

One complaint said it took CheapWoWGolds more than 48 hours to deliver an order when it coincided with the “Spring Festival” aka the Chinese New Year – a known slacker time for the Gold farmers in panda land.

The other complaint told of an outright scam, claiming that CheapWoWGolds sent this e-mail:

"We recently received a report from another player that their account had been compromised. During the course of our investigation, we discovered that one of your characters had received goods from this player. Unfortunately, we have removed those goods to reimburse the owner."

It boggles my mind why a paying customer has to “reimburse” the hacked account owner. The explanation doesn’t make any sense, and sounds like a baloney excuse NOT to deliver 10,000 Gold. Easy $20 right there for CheapWoWGolds while washing their hands of any fault. Real smooth, guys.

Pathetic 92% Positive Feedback
And if you think these are isolated cases, no less than CheapWoWGolds admits that its customer service is dismal.

“92% feedback from our customer is positive,” it says on its contact page. Which leads me to ask: So I guess it’s industry standard for a whopping 8% of your customers to give not-so-positive feedback? Do these 8% wait a week for their Gold, if at all receive what they paid for?

CheapWoWGolds is delusional if it thinks getting it wrong for one-in-twelve customers is a “tremendous achievement.” Please. It’s a pitiable track record, and leagues away from the 98% satisfaction rate that a decent Gold seller should have.

Web of Affiliates
What’s more alarming is that CheapWoWGolds is part of a bigger network. Imagine its poor piss standards being duplicated in at least four other sister sellers. Yeah, I’m aching for some Advil too.

Here are the known CheapWoWGolds affiliates based on the scan of their Twitter account :

• WowGoldStudio (http://www.wowgoldstudio.com/)
• WowGoldFirm (http://www.wowgoldfirm.com/)
• Wow-Gold-Store (http://www.wow-gold-store.com/)
• Wow-GoldStore (http://www.wow-goldstore.com/)

By mere affiliation, the ENTIRE network of CheapWoWGolds should be scrutinized. Why? All these websites are prime breeding ground for hacking and phishing attempts (My anti-virus was ringing off the hook with each page click).

Plus I want to spare the WoW community from the god awful “articles” and “tips” foisted upon us at every turn.

Next installment, I probe deeper into the unethical selling strategies of CheapWoWGolds and, your favorite part, a grilling of their live chat personnel. Get your muzzle ready; this top dog scammer has one mean bite.
