For those of you who do not know, Game Pal is an MMO-based account sale site. Very similar to MMOBay with the exception they sell directly to the customer rather than offer an auction service such as eBay.

Regardless, I am posting this review on behalf of the hundreds of people who have been taken advantage by this sham of a business.

GamePal has been notorious for what I consider "Pressure Scamming." They purchase accounts from clients, usually teenagers who have no experience in RMT. When I say purchase, they usually pay more on the cheap spectrum of $100 upwards to ~$300. Now the issue is that GamePal will claim, even six months down the road (I've heard stories of up to two years down the road) that the account was recalled and they are demanding enormous sums of money in the form of collections. Here is an example.

They apparently work with a collections agency named Kross, Lieberman, & Stone.

This same collections agency has been reviewed as "harassing" several clients of gamepal. One example can be found here.

This harassment includes spam e-mails, phone calls made at abnormal hours or in numerous amounts, and even mail spam.

For anyone who is suffering through this crap; I suggest you hire a lawyer to write a formal review to to this collections agency so that they back off or you will take legal action. The fact that the collections is harassing clients to pay outstanding balances without required proof of a proper existence of said balance over long periods of time shows that they are not capable of building their own legal case against clients.

Don't be intimidated and call a lawyer.

If you don't believe me when I say GamePal is a terrible representation of a business, by all means, let the Better Business Bureau tell you!

Is this a joke? Gamepal/gametag/warcraftloot et al haven't paid for an account in years.

Yes, they are the worst of the worst of the worst, but not because of this since this info is 2/3 years old.

GamePal stopped even bothering to pay for accounts at least 2 years ago. Their automated quote giving service offers quotes that are at least 3 times market value, and then collect all information via their automated service.

They never pay for these accounts, but rest assured in a couple of months they will snag them, and give them to the gold farming studio they use.

I've researched collections because I do them myself if I have a deadbeat buyer. There's laws about what times a collection agency can contact you, and even about what they can say. Legal threats and most agitating language is definitely out.

If they break the rules, you can press charges and they'll pay a fine that maxes at 10 grand. It's one hell of a slap on the wrist.

Save everything and then go to any lawyer, even one that's still in law school.
They'll write a cease and desist letter, and that should be the end of it.

Collections is very easy to deal with.

Someone's trying to make hall monitor. Playground psychology 101.
A kid starts loudly being a hyper-sensitive policy bully on the others. It may be an attempt to gain favor, which leads to position.

If you really want to win favor from the adults, don't come screaming at civvies with an expired parking meter ticket that you wrote yourself, and a raised billy club.
Fastest way to earn your stripes is to show that you do things differently. (Helpful civilian service with a smile!)

You'll get your recognition :)
