www.imbuygold.com After I paid for the item, they strung me along for days and lied about why they couldn't deliver Internet
This company took my order for virtual gold (for an online computer game) over the internet. The advertisement said "instant delivery". They strung me along for over 2 days, giving me a myriad of excuses why they could not deliver me the gold.
I finally disputed the charge with PayPal. Then all of a sudden the company said the gold was ready and I could get it immediately....if I dropped the dispute with PayPal. When I checked with PayPal, they said if you close a dispute, you cannot reopen it. I told this to the company and they said that was not true. (Like they know PayPal's policy better then PayPal themselves.)
I kept checking back with the company to see if they would honor the sale and they said if I dropped the dispute they would. I eventually talked to one of the CSR's and asked if they had the gold I needed and if I ordered it would it be ready immediately. They assured me they did. I then said I was closing my dispute and I then wanted them to give me the gold I ordered seeing they said it was ready. I then closed the dispute.
Then, again, they gave me a bunch of excuses why they couldn't deliver the gold: The agent was eating and they would call when he was back from lunch. They never did call. The gold was mysteriously not ready again, but they would work really hard on it. They're a Chinese company and I think they pretend to have a hard time understanding English as an excuse.
Never, ever deal with this company!! They are rip-off artists.

I'm glad my report helped you out in a small degree. After I was scammed and dropped my claim with PayPal, I thought there was nothing left I could do. And there isn't really, for me; my money's gone. But I thought at least I could warn others of this site and help keep those guys from getting other people's money. So I'm glad you didn't drop your dispute! Good luck in getting your money back...I hope it works out for you.

I went on there wesite to buy some gold. They did the exact same thing to me.They said (Before i actually ordered) That i would have the gold in the manner of minutes. So i ordered and waited. The second i ordered they started blowing me off( I was in chat with the same person the whole time). I waited and waited...Went back on there website(www.imbuygold.com) Took them over 30 minutes just to reply and when they did they just started blowing me off again. This w***e time didn't call me nothing. So i got to paypal and open a disupte. Not even 5 minutes after i open it they call me. They say that they have my gold and i could get it as soon as i closed the disute. Very thankfully I started looking them up and i came across this website. I read your post and saw they are doing exactly the same thing to you as they are doing to me. So i am refusing to close the disupte in hopes that i will get my money back and in bigger hopes that people will stop going to there website and getting scamed.
I want to thank the person who made this post(And this website) it saved me from closing my disupte.

If you think it takes a "skilled" player to sit at a game for hours on end farming resources to make gold you're not too bright. That just makes for someone who has a lot of spare time on their hand. It doesn't make you a better player or a more skilled player if you can sit for hours killing boars. But if that's what you like to do....

"Virtual" gold...well you got "virtually" screwed. Earn the gold like any other "virtual" player does and stop trying to think you can "buy" your way into being a better gamer.
Either earn your way to become a skilled player..or bow out. Don't expect paypal to cover your a*s for being an idiot or unskilled poser.
