"Instant delivery" on World of Warcraft time cards are displayed, however, after completing an odd amount of "verification" methods (e.g. cellphone verification) and having your credit card charged, the order is placed in a limbo of sorts, or "Pending."

I sent an email to support and did not receive a response for hours. I then joined "live chat" and after waiting another 10 minutes or so, finally got the response that my order was to be processed. Here is the chat log:

Alwi A.: Hello, thank you for contacting OffGamers live support. How may I help you today?
Me: I was told the delivery for my game card would be instant
Me: It has been hours
Alwi A.: Please hold one moment
Me: Ok
Alwi A.: Thank you Sir for waiting , we will process your order now and will be completed within 5 minutes

I wouldn't say this website is a "scam," but I would definitely say buyer beware. There is absolutely a disturbing amount of false advertising happening here. Also, seeing that the website is located internationally, I wouldn't be surprised if there is a lack of back end security and credit card information is at risk of being stolen by identity thieves.

POSTED: Thursday, August 11, 2011

First of all, we would like to thank you for shopping at OffGamers for all your gaming needs and we apologize for the delay of your order.  Due to the nature of the business, we had to take the necessary security precautions to protect you the PayPal owner or card holder from fraud.

Please note that, first time purchases are subject for one-time verification done by our system, which is engineered by our dedicated team of specialist who has years of experience on handling Online transactions with various analytic tools that we have subscribed. Occasionally some users might experienced slight delay of receiving their products, resulted from careful investigation conducted by our experts.

Also, we often find cellphone verification to be very effective as a measurement of trustworthiness, as one of the criteria when it comes to risk managing. By evaluating the legitimacy of the information provided through solid verification procedures, not only it serves as a deterrent to filter fraudulent orders, but also a necessity to protect the credit card / paypal owners.  

Aside from that, all credit card transaction(s) that we received are handled by credit card transaction company , Global Collect. All related information prompted during checkout are being masked and being sent to Global Collect, which we do not, in any way, interfere nor compromise such delicate information, in order to protect our users.

Rest assured, we guarantee that the verification flow is in no way intruding your privacy, but it works out as a pre-cautionary safety measure to ensure everything is in place. If you have any inquiries regarding that the security features that we have instilled, do not hesitate to contact our Live Support for assistance. Thank you.
