Complaint Review: binstore.org

On September 24, 2011 I made a purchase totaling just under $20.00 from a website www.binstore.org

Binstore.org is a website that claims to sell virtual items for a PC game Diablo 2. The website promises delivery of the virtual items within 2 hours after payment is sent to their paypal address lauriegameservice@hotmail.com

In the past I have used numerous different websites that promote the sale of virtual items for this game and have had no problems what so ever. It appears my luck has run out.

After making payment I patiently waited my two hours, yet there was absolutely no contact from the seller. I gave them the benefit of the doubt and went to bed. The next day I woke up to check my email hoping they would have contacted me, but no they did not.

I sent an email to two email addresses listed on the website: admin@binstore.org & Rykerz@binstore.org

In my email I outlined my concern that I have not heard anything from them and to please make contact with me and advise me of my delivery status.

I also sent the same email to the registered paypal address that I sent the money to lauriegameservice@hotmail.com

Since then there has been no response what so ever from this company. There is also no phone numbers listed anywhere to contact anyone.

I know I should have known better than to use an untrusted site, but I am writing this to warn any other unsuspecting Diablo 2 fans out there and in hopes that I can help at least one other person from getting scammed by these folks.

Luckily I only lost $20.00, it could have been worse. I am in the process of reversing the charge with my credit card company. Luckily I used a charge card, I wouldnt be able to have done it with a bank account or debit card.

After some more research and asking around I have found a ton of other people who have been scammed by binstore.org   as well

I have also found two other scam websites run by the same folks. They all go to the same paypal address lauriegameservice@hotmail.com

They are: www.d2king.org & www.d2bigs.com

Please save yourself the trouble and DO NOT purchase anything off any of these websites.

And if you have been scammed by them, don't let them get away with it. Report them to paypal so they can have a track record. Also attempt to reverse the charges through your bank or card company.

Lastly, please report it here; as well as any other internet related crime.
