Brought a nintendo game code, immediately asked for a photo of my id even though the payment was done through paypal using my debt card. Felt too sketchy and requested a refund instead, big delay in getting money back.
Even if the site is legit, there are probably better ways to verify a customer than asking for a photo of their driving licence — that's not really info they need at all.
They have created a convincing looking website, but this site sells invalid codes and their customer service is just a delaying tactic. I requested a new code or a refund and they just suggest you go to the game's production company (who confirmed the code was invalid). The positive reviews on here must be fake like their codes.
I bought Outlook 2016 no help from them I finaly got it. When I called it was busy then blocked and the website is impossible too.
Purchased a serial key from electronic first, who messed me around xbox live chat Stated it was already redeemed. Scammers
Do Not buy anything from this company. If you have you may have put yourself in danger. These people ask you for a copy of your ID card to make a purchase. Tat easily gives them the information to steal your identity, steal bank accounts, etc. And since most customers are kids they probably are complying and showing their ID's
I just wanna make sure if you don't have the right tools needed to purchase any game from this website i recommend to not go for it. Because you'll be disappointed. I had purchase a "rust digital" game i had to go through a long process at the end because it was an Argentina region locked code I simply downloaded a vpn on my phone and went to redeem.microsoft.com and put the code there and it worked! Very tedious but very rewarding in a weird way
Didn't receive the mail with the key after purchase, contacted supported, they said to check my junk mail folder, mail wasn't there in both the email I provided and the email associated with my paypal account. Ended up asking support if they could post it in the support ticket mail, they did and it work. Overall took about an hour with very quick mail responses, and key was cheap and is working, so can't complain... Just try to use the same mail for your order as your paypal mail, otherwise it seems the system has trouble tracking orders...
I bought a windows 10 pro key form their website I then immediately got emailed a key but it has already been used.
The initial code purchased was invalid. After providing screenshots of the error codes I was asked whether I wanted replacement code or refund. They promptly sent a new working code as requested. They were professional and I will definitely use this company again
Attempted many times to contact the companry for tech support. Not able to reach by phone or live chat.
Website is scam, purchased a product for CANADA and the email confirmation says it's "Argentina locked". Never got an email of product key as it says I need to "confirm" but does not state how. Asked for refund and never got a response. Stay away, when it's to good to be true, it is. Website is a complete scam
Finally got around to activating windows and initially I thought that this was a super sketchy site and I was extremely apprehensive when putting in my debit card number. It charged immediately and I got the confirmation email right away. Shortly after I got the email with the actual code and it worked.
So, I purchased a UPlay key for Far Cry 6. I have been purchasing cheap keys from sketchy sites all my life. But this was the first time in my life that I was asked to provide billing information.
I mean, I used a Visa payment option and both Visa and PayPay have incredibly good anti-fraud systems in place but whatever. I provided him with a sold interrogation receipt I had lying around (thankfully) and they sent me a working key in the form of a PDF attachment of what I think was a picture of an activation key from a hard copy of the game ( like the little tickets that come in the box next to the actual game). Everything worked, I installed my game with no issues.
If you are willing to send them your credit card account information (I don't know why would you unless you didn't know what you were doing, like me) then you are good to go. After all, we get the customer service of what we pay for.
I was given two unactivated Xbox gamepass ultimate codes from a seller who send pictures from a scratched game pass card. Do not trust this fraudulent company. Either is in on the this scam or they do not is even check to see if the sellers are even valid.
Got product I paid for. No issues. Was a little bit odd as I had to confirm address and phone number in an email. However they worked quickly and I had my code I asked for.
They took payment twice form my account and then refused that they recieved it. PayPal sent me confirmation twice for both the layembts made and it's showing as paid in my bank account. These guys still refusing it. Stick with g2a and stay away from these scammers. In the pictures it can be seen that the PayPal payment confirmation came in at 5:19pm and they were telling me at 6:03pm that they didn't receive payment and it was denied.
Super quick, no real faffing about other than confirming its me which is very understandable today, cheapest I could possible get the game, brilliant service, very professional outfit.
Pay for it that first didn't think about it went 10 minutes went by and then got an email redeem the code and up and running again thank you guys
I bought a one year psn digital code, didn't use it and they resold it the very next day after I bought it. I contacted them 2 weeks after and they told me to delete my emails and wait for a refund in 24 hours, which turned to 10days which turned to 3 weeks. I contacted them even though I knew they sold the code they sold to me to someone else, they basically thought they were running me in circles until I made it seem like I was desperate and they told me to delete proof of my claim. They're scammers trying to get you in any way they can
