I got 2 calls from 2 different numbers 858-427-0624 and 858-380-5139 Same type of scenario with oriental woman that can barely speak English. They claimed that I placed an order with them. This is false and I believe they are phishing for personal information. I reported them to fraud prevention through my bank. I suggest you all do the same.

so there can be nothing done with the money you gave? because to me it is not amortized but is that so?

finally.. delivery took place..

without the phone call.. Just opening a dispute through paypal got through to them.

Do business with Chinese companies at your peril. Here is some good reading on it from the excellent site Fraudwatchers. If you don't want to click on the link just search fraudwatchers (1 word), information articles are on the right.

in addition.. they have several mail adresses apparently..


carolineswan@softisland.com
softisland@aol.com
support@riftgold.net
payment@bygamer.com

the company name is Internet Game Exchange.. apparently checked by paypal...

and this is taken from their website too...
All the transactions are processed by riftgold's fully owned subsidiary SOFTISLAND LLC LIMITED located in Suite 250,162-168 Regent Street, London W1B 5TD.

it is a company pretending to sell games/ ingame stuff etc.. one person at the help desk.. the name Caroline Swan..

there is some paypal account behind it, but after testing it, it just seems a cheating company, not processing orders but insisting on you calling them..
riftgold.net is (one of ?) their websites, the lady Caroline Swan is no native speaker.. perhaps indeed chinese ... and payment verifications and mails are not taken seriously apparently..

been testing some sites and this one is bad...
it seems just a big cheat..

Some Chinese woman left a message telling me to contact them.  Supposedly, I ordered a game from their website and she needed to confirm my payment information.
Strangely, she left no return number.
