MyGamingShop a scam?

Is it just me or is my gaming shop looking like a massive scam?

I've preordered Battlefield3 from them back in April. No one has replied to my emails and now the website has been down for the past few days. Is anyone even running it anymore?

How do i get my money back?! Am I the only person worried?
 
Hi Brandon,

The MyGaming Shop was not a scam.

Please PM me your full name so that we can confirm your order details.

Regards,

James.
 
I actually purchased a couple of games from the store.

@james Safe to say the shop is no more? :cry:
 
Yup, I got confirmation from James earlier in the week that the shop is taking a break for now.

Sad news.

/removes MyG Shop from bookmarks tab and woefully sticks it away in the bookmarks menu :cry:

Oh well, at least we have a Kalahari rep these days so eBucks, eBucks, eBucks :love:
 
It was always an experiment :) We had a lot of fun running it and organising some great deals for the MyGaming community.

It may return in future.

And if people subscribed/supported, it could subsidise the delivery costs and the occasional great deal?

Dare I say I'm liking the supporting idea more and more? :3

I'll shut up now :p
 
Actually I really wanted to try them out soon. Just in the process of sorting out some internet banking with my bank account so this is bad timing on you guys. Shame on you lol
 
I'll bring it up during the next meeting of MyGaming druids.

It was all a scam >:O dammit james just admit it.

There was no games just a fake list. so you guys can support your fine wines.
 
Lol sad news indeed, i could never get my Credit Card to verify the few times i tried to purchase but the games were decently priced to say the least. Oh well maybe it will be back soon...
 
Fair enough maybe I am jumping to conclusions and I apologize...

but if you take my money and then decide to close shop without telling me I think i reserve the right to be a bit upset.
(Pretty sure thats the definition of a scam)

Just thought I'd do a quick quote and bold in case you missed the bit where you could PM James and he'd sort it out for you :p

Also, welcome to the forum, albeit a slightly bumpy start :o
 
Yeh it was a "pirate" store, and it was full of keyloggers.... Tsk Tsk :p/hides from James
One day I will own a pirate store and sell eye patches and peglegs and pirate dictionaries on how to correctly spell Arrr..
Or maybe just a cartoon site about it ...
hmmm..
