Accountsbay scam/hoax

I tried to buy a WOW (EU)-account from this site, as naive as I was, i didn't care to google the company first... After (today) 3 weeks and 3 days later, about 15 talks with the online-chat-"support" later, i tried again today, to see if they could arrange for me getting the account... As usual, the "manager" was not around. I'm just going to paste the last chat-log, as there is too much to paste from all logs:

"Listen to me. I've been through a lot of ### in my life. Nothing compares to this crap they're selling. "

Wow. I feel bad for you if everything in your life pales in comparison. Honestly. It's just a game. You WoW folks need to step back for a moment and re-### your lives. I dated an guy that played this game so much it destroyed our relationship and forever changed my views on him and the game.

Don't let it get to you, too.
It sucks that you were falsly lied to and sold an incorrect item.. but, ultimately, it's a game.

Accountsbay Terrible scam!

Accountsbay.com aka thsale.com aka accountsbay sold me two accounts in december 2007. After 14 days, both were disabled due to an economy exploit banned. When I emailed blizzard, they said that a chinese company sold me accounts, and they will not reopen the accounts under any circumstance. Stay away from this company at all costs!

I am currently having to deal with them after learning my lesson. So let me save you some trouble. I purchased an account for $98, I received the login info for an account, but they would not give me the answer to the security question. Two days later, the password to the account was changed (not by me). I went back to their live chat, explained I couldn't access the account, they told me to choose another account from their list. I chose another, again received the login info, but no secret answer. Two days later, the same thing happened. I went through this two more times. On the fouth account, I logged into the account manager and recorded the previuos owners details (first and last name), which were still on the account. I searched for this person on facebook and luckily found him. After a few im's I discovered that this account had been hacked from him a few weeks earlier, but that he really didn't care because he hadn't been playing much. I explained to him what had happened. He eventually gave me all the account details and wished me good luck, at which time I went and changed all the info and put an autheticator on the account. It is a week later and I still have the account.
After all this headache, I did end up with an account...not the one I purchased nor the one I wanted. But I was extemely lucky to have received anything and then only because of the gracious previous owner.

I like how AccountsBay actually comes here and posts that they aren't scammers. AccountsBay is owned by THSALE who has arguably the worst reputation in the industry. THSALE owns a couple dozen websites which they if you compile the list of all their websites and the amount of complaints each website has, they likely have over 10, 000+ complaints all together.

Go type "thsale" in complaintsboard and they have over 230+ complaints
Go type "accountsbay" in complainsboard and they have over 40+ complaints
Go type thsale scam" in google, and you will see dozens of pages of nothing but scam reports.

In the end, you can believe one guy named King from THSALE or you can view the thousands of complaints online from victims which hopefully you won't be one if you avoid THSALE at all costs.

Hello everybody, I'm from accountsbay.com, my name is King. I've been working for accountsbay.com for 3 years. I'm offering 10% discount for wow account. Coupon code "King0010". I know the chat record for long. But i'm never care of it. The guy who post it here created you. Almost the chat is ture but i didn't say the last sentence. I'm from Australia, not Europe. I am not our company.
About the ubbthreads markeedragon, i need tell you a story. The owner of the markeedragon was an account seller, we bought many accounts on Markeedragon.com and also from the site owner. On the early of our business, we are both happy, but after 1-2 months later, we found out that almost all the accounts was recalled back. We contacted him to try to get back the accounts, but no lucky, he couldn't. We thought that if he can refund half of the payment to us. No.. he refused . So we have to put disputes on paypal, then our markeedragon account was banned and got very very bad rep on it. We are sad for this. That's our company policy, we have to do that. I hope you can understand us. Thanks. There is some unhappy things happened in our business occasionally, but our company never do fraud and scam. Thanks for all the poster who support us. Please understand us who post our bad things or call us creaters. Anyway thank you for reading all my posts. Thank you vey much. My MSN: King.vip@accountsbay.com and Accountsbay.vip@hotmail.com. Please contact me for any questions or problems. Thanks.
