Gameim.com is selling gold they do not have. They refuse to deliver large order that I ever made. Do not buy on www.gameim.com any more.

i've been waiting 4 days now for my 500m in penya. i also was told that the had instock before i bought. as soon a i pay them they say that it is out of stock. now 500mil in the kargo server on flyff is not that difficult to make, hell with 15$ i could have made about 2bil if i sell it to the right people. they said they would email me when the money had been sent. no email no money, oh and since they didn't have it in stock they said they would send the money through the mail when the got it. if anybody else is on the flyff severs post back on here and message KingOfThieves if your on the kargo server.

THIS IS PISSING ME OFF!

I ordered with this cheap ### too.. they keep u waiting for like 3 hours... they dont have stock, but they want u to order, and they will deliver the stock whenever they will get it...even if that might last 2 days or 3 years. they use same stupid messages, and they talk manually only when the situation is getting complex..

Glad I came across this site.

Was almost about to buy something from them seeing that they were the only site that said they had stock.

But when I was going through Paypal I notice that they only take creditcard. WTF?

### that ###.

Not paying no random person in China for something with my Credit Card even if it is through Paypal and after reading the IMVU CC fraud comment, phew. Feel like I made a good decision.

I bought some gold from Okaygoods.com, BUYER beware. 1st time was ok, but 2nd time around (bought more this time) they are currently leaving me on hold for almost 24 hours saying they have no stock after having said they did.

They say, no need to scam only $x, we will have it for you once our supplier can give us it. Ok, I'll give them the benefit of the doubt.

Their support seems pretty friendly.. but it's chat, can't really tell. I'll post an update when the 24 hour mark comes around on this site.

I purchased 2000M yesterday at 10.30pm, and was in IM chat to them for over 5 hours, and there was nothing but troubles, at first they wanted a email from my payment email account (which i had setup purely as a forwarder, to prevent spam) so i couldn't send a email from that account, in the end i had to totally change the forward so i could send the email, they they called me for a cpl mins, asked questions like DOB, address, Name, after the phone call they asked for a photo of my license or credit card to prove my name, at first i refused, but after 3 hours of getting nowhere i sent it (not willingly as now i have to seek legal action to prevent identity theft) after that they then said the timezone on my account was incorrect (I'm not sure how this prevents payment, im still asking paypal about this) so they wanted me to pay again, using western union, i refused, they wouldn't even offer me a refund on the first transaction first. i am now in the process of putting several complains and going back and forth with them through paypal to get my funds, hopefully that goes ok. and also now i need to go through the steps to prevent identity theft.

NOTE: i also had a girl from the chat (their staff member), tell me that they are scammers, and igmit it, and i have this in hard copy, printing several copies, and a PDF format, and a big long conversation with her about how she was so sorry, (if she was sorry, why suck me in)

BTW, the website i used was lastchaos.us (it is owned and run by the same people as the previous posts)

I recently bought a virtual item from GAMEIM.com for Perfect World and they would not deliver the item even though they said they had it before the purchase was made.
I paid with confirmed paypal address and after a 30 min conversion with the staff member they wanted me to fax them my credit card information and driver license! This is after they wanted me to email them twice with the paypal confirmation.
When I told them that paypal takes the money from my checkings and that they do not need to see my Credit Card info and driver license.
They would not deliver the items I purchased. After doing some online research I found hundreds of people were having the same problem.

Below is a list of sources from people having the same problem. Please read the forums posted below and you will see tons of people have been fraudulently scammed and action must be taken!

It's been a month now since I purchased from gameim. I spent the total of $179.9. Which is a huge amount. However they had the nerve to stall me for 9 hours and did not deliver my game currency to me. Then after about 14 hours they delivered only HALF the amount that I paid for. Their excuse for that was "The price change and this is what we can give you". Like HELLO? I bought this when the prices were 1500mil = 89.95. So I put up a claim on paypal; but paypal is telling me that their is a HUGE possible chance for me that I might not be getting my refund back. They will be watching over the gameim accounts, and see how many claims come in for gameim. Please if you've been scammed by this site. TELL paypal and get your REFUND back. In order for me to get my refund; there has to be a lot more claims then mine. =[ Thank you.

Here is a clip out of what they say when i contact them. Bought for 380 $ btw! And at that time it was worth 2000 million meso. The price rised a few days after, and they now want to give me 1250m only although 380$ is worth 1700m now. So i tried saying ok to 1700m because i am SICK and TIRED of it, and he says no stock. I gave them 24 hours, and now he said he had them. When i said im in fm 11 ch 11 he said, oh someone sold my gold o.0 WTF... Anyways, i went back to claiming the 2000m gold since they are [censored] towards me, or a refund. I have been asking for a refund for approx. 3 months now, and non has come, so i keep contacting them every day. Here is a part of our conversation today!::::

Alex sier:
OMG ...
Albino sier:
Anyways, refund me then!
Alex sier:
What if we give you nothing? why will i give you 1000m if i want to cheat you?
Albino sier:
What if you try to give me nothing and i sue your company, what if you all loose your jobs? What if i claim the 2000m I PAID FOR? WHAT IF
Alex sier:
ok, fine
Alex sier:
Im not the one who got your sale,
Alex sier:
But im always trying my best to complete your order
Alex sier:
Its not my idea to give you less
Alex sier:
I have rule to follow here !
Alex sier:
Im not the ###ing boss !
Albino sier:
And laws. And doing what you have done is illegal...

Infact

Why do you give me the ###ing ###?

Well I am proud to say that after CONSISTANTLY harassing and then having my bank send notices, I got my refund.

Best thing to do I guess is to KEEP hassling them until they give you what you bought, or refund you. I made about 10 AIM (aol instant messanger) accounts and kept IMing their screen name (Gameimcom) telling them I demanded my refund.

Can you believe this conversation, though (this was on AIM):

Me: I'd like my refund

Gameimcom: already gave you the refund . so we have no business to do with you

Me: no I did not get a refund, so please refund me or give me my game credits

Gameimcom: that's no possible . understand ? already send the refund . well your want to scam us ? that's not useful

Me: but you scammed me first!

Gameimcom: well.. when we scamed you ?

Me: When you never went through my "paypal" because I dont have a paypal!

Gameimcom: lol .. you don't have paypal ?

Me: nope

Gameimcom: then .check your bank or your credit card company .

Me: But you said you charged my paypal, so how could I get a refund? Refund me to my bank or I will take legal action

Gameimcom: ### you . get out .

------------------------------------------------------

I can't believe the person said that. And then they BLOCKED me. So, I made a lot of more screen names and kept demanding a refund. Well, I got it :)

Unfortunately, I know a lot of people have been scammed and it may be too late to get their refund but, for future reference to those about to use GAMEIM.COM or who just have, MAKE SURE YOU MAKE THEM GIVE YOU A REFUND!

Don't stop until you get your money back.

SERIOUSLY! GameIM.com totally screwed me over... they kept saying "we're collecting now" and then I found all these sites saying "Dont buy from them!"

Too late for most of us.

I kept harrassing them saying, "Give me my refund!" and they wouldn't and this one girl was like "-.- I'd be very mad too if i got no gold" and she sent me a "refund".

And so I thought "Aww, she was actually nice" but no. In the end I found out NONE OF IT EVEN WENT THROUGH PAYPAL.

They have my information!

So I quickly contacted paypal about them, and then I contacted my bank who was awesome and said they'd refund me IT ALL. And so I got my money back.

And my banks says they will look into it and will prevent any further purcheses to my card from their company, but still.

Those ### screwed so many people over and will continue to do so if there isn't a way to get through to them.

I keep contacting them and they say, now this is an actual quote, "lol .. call you paypal to check about it. understand?"

Blah. Hopefully those @$$holes will be shut down sometime soon!

They ruin the fun one could have with REAL merchants...

i purchased imvu credits before from them, and it was fine, but when i did it this time, IMVU seized the credits and sent me an email informing me that gameim used stolen credit cards and paypal accounts to buy the credits from IMVU and other vendors.

IMVU and the other vendors get screwed in the process because of getting chargebacks from the credit card companies and paypal, so they receive no actual payment and instead have to pay fees.

do not trust gameim, they are thieves and liars, and i would imagine this is how they acquire all of their funding.

i am opening a dispute with paypal, anf hope i can get some resolution, but i'm not holding my breathe.

Again, said they had things in stock which they in fact did not have. Trying to get a refund was ridiculously hard, after continuing hassle and promises like 'trust me plz' and 'sorry sur not in stock' and my favourite 'our workers are collecting for you'. If you were unlucky enough to order from them and already pay, just start the PayPal appeals process - you'll get your money back quicker. If you havn't ordered from them already - you've got more common sense than me thats for sure just by checking them out first, don't even touch them.

Piece and Peace,

Gavin

Just to clarify the above post, do a good google search on those site names and you will find a list of complaints a mile long. These guys are obviously a rip off powerhouse, they tell you they have great LIVE Service.. well they do.. but will that get you what you paid for? No! they come up with excuse after excuse until you just go away.

GameIM.com is an absolutely horrendous company and I wouldn't trust them in the future. I purchased credits for IMVU two days ago. When I didn't receive anything within the 24 hour time period advertised on their home page, I raised my PayPal issues with them and started the complaint process. They responded by telling me they were still gathering the credits and asked me to be patient. I've told them that if I don't receive the 80,000 credits for which I paid $32.28, I'll have no choice but to escalate the issue with PayPal to ensure my refund.

Please don't be fooled everyone. They are completely unprofessional and not worth your time!

I also purcased a large order for game currency from GAMEIM.com, they do not have the gold that they said they did, and it's been 15 days and haven't refunded me. So i went to their live support pretending to be visitor asking them if they had game gold i was looking for and they said yes. so i said ok i ordered 10 days ago, can you come in game and trade me, and they said "sorry, we are collecting now". 4 days later still no game gold and no refund.
