GAME CHIMP - another Chinese Scam site!

I hope no one here has even heard of Game Chimp. It was a new website that started up this summer. On another forum there was a thread about it. Their prices were a couple of quid cheaper across the board and it was a very slick site. You paid via PayPal, which seemed safe.

So I pre-ordered "My Sims" on the Wii with them for £26.99. It never arrived and appeared to have got lost in the post. They were very good with their emails and said if it hadn't arrived by tomorrow (1/10) they would send a replacement.

BUT this wekeend, the site closed down, and there are loads of forum threads across the web with people saying no one received any games and it is a Scam from Hong Kong. (Just google Game Chimp and you'll see what I mean)

I have filed a request for refund through PayPal but don't hold a lot of hope. Thought I should let you lot know just in case anyone else is waiting for a delivery from them.

Have a nice day, by the way.

Any site that dont accept regular credit cards has to be dodgy mate, if its a business they would have an account to accept them, theres another one on here think called Play HD which is same, only accepts paypal, Avoid like the plague in my opinion

Here are a whole host of dodgy wholesale sites based in China.

Some sell fake Nokia N95 as the genuine ones and others take payment and give you a bogus shipping number.
