How to avoid scams and buy WoW accounts Safely



Well, here we are again everyone giving tips to make the best of your mmo gaming experience. I was hoping to have another review for you today, but things kinda fell through. A good friend of mine was planning on making a buy, but he had to cancel because of a funeral he had to go to. He said he’d catch up with me later for that buy so i could write up another review for you guys.

Anyway, with that out, I’ve decided to do something else for my post today. It’s really easy for people like me to put out review info and tell you what we think of various sites, but it’s entirely another for you guys to go out and make that decision for yourselves. I’ve recommended Toonstorm.com a couple of times already, because they’ve been a great place to buy WoW accounts before, but that’s just my experience. So what I want to do today is share with you the things I keep in mind when shopping for WoW accounts.

One thing that i find tends to point to a less-reliable company is when they won’t make their verification calls to a cell phone. In my experience, companies that only call a landline are going to sell that number as soon as you’re off the line. They just shill out to telemarketers after that. I actually prefer using live chat to verify my order rather than waiting for a call. It takes less time and gets you the same information. Plus, places that use a live chat option tend to be better established, which means better prices and way better service. The one at Toonstorm.com is almost seamless, which is a nice touch.

Another thing to look for when you’re shopping around is a good old fashioned money-back guarantee. If they don’t make with the Billy Mays, they aren’t as likely to take care of you if something goes wrong with the drop. We don’t usually think about this sort of thing, but it’s more important than most people realize. Check out if it’s there, if not - split.

Anyway, I hope this helps a little. Be safe in buying wow accounts.

Rules To Live By When Buying Diablo 3 Accounts


Hey there again folks. Hope everybody out there is doing well and keeping warm.

Today I wanted to share some little tips and tricks that have helped me avoid some of the dangers of buying Diablo 3 characters. While most of us are honest, law-abiding citizens (EUA’s not withstanding), there are more than a few people out there willing to bleed us dry with scams. This post is geared towards helping you avoid some of those places.

The first thing that I look for when I’m going to buy Diablo 3 account is whether or not they have a money-back guarantee. People take these things for granted because every infomercial out there has one and they don’t use it. The thing is, in this arena it can protect you from all sorts of trouble. Places like Toonstorm who have one stand to lose the transaction if they do something stupid like bring a GM down on you, so they take extra precautions to keep that from happening.

Another thing I look at is outside reviews. It’s easy for a site to flood their own message boards with positive comments from fake people. The best thing to do is type the URL into Google and start scanning through the different posts that come up. Along with this, the best legit sites have a Bizrate rating. Toonstorm and a few others are known there with excellent ratings. It’s really good to get that third party info.

Avoid places that won’t take credit cards or paypal. While they claim it’s for your protection, it’s really an easy way to scam you. Once payments made via western union or money order are cashed, they have no incentive to live up to their end of the bargain. They’ll just get enough of them, close the site, and move on to another place to do it again.

Above all, when you find a really good place out there, don’t make a big deal out of it. So is bragging to everyone in game about the buy. GMs and uptight players are always happy to pay you a visit about that buy. At the least your character will disappear and you’ll get a warning. But they might just decide to ban you altogether, so keep it all under your hat.

Some Friendly Advice When you Buy Aion Accounts



Today would be a good day to give some shopping hints for when you want to buy Aion Account. Account shopping can be hazardous if you don’t know some of the signs of a scam. That’s why I’d like to share with you a few things that I keep in mind while shopping.

Item the first: Do some homework. These days you really can’t be too careful with your money and one of the biggest favors you can do yourself is to know just who you’re giving it to. Run a basic search on the url to see what kinds of reviews come up. If you find the same sorts of things I found on the site my friend used, it’s pretty obvious that you wouldn't want their accounts. Also, if you don’t find any reviews at all, be exceedingly careful. Those can go either way, so wait until something is reported by them. You can always check sites like Bizrate or the BBB, too. Sites rated there are legit at the very least.

Item the second: look for a money-back guarantee. This is something that’s really easy to take for granted nowadays. We’ve been hearing about these things for so long on infomercials that we don’t even think anything about it. But when a site carries one of them, it means their willing to put your security first. site that have an MBG consistently get better reviews and have way fewer problems with supply and, usually, better prices.

Item the third: Don’t trust any place that won’t take credit cards or paypal. If they’re asking for a money order or check, it’s because they want something that can’t be traced easily or cancelled. If you send a money order, the second it’s cashed they can do whatever they want. It’s kind of like buying stuff on ebay. You’re taking a big risk that they’ll actually come through with the goods. When it pans out, you’re in great shape, but when it doesn’t you’ll be tearing your hair out. Toonstorm.com is one of a few places that offer this little insurance policy. It’s just a matter of them caring enough about you and your new account to put their money on the line for it.

Item the fourth: Use common sense. I probably shouldn’t have to say it, but it’s easy to get excited when you’ve found a good deal. Make sure that their claims match up with other sites out there. If they’re claims are too good to be true, then it’s probably a scam, or at the least they aren’t very safe.

Keep these things in mind and you should be fine. Be safe when you buy aion account.
