1CDKEY.COM Scam Review

by DRIZZLE

In the past this 1cdkey.com scam website has not sent my CD key after over 3 weeks. I'm still awaiting any reply from them after contacting support multiple times.

1st Purchase

GAME: Battlefield 2 Complete Collection CD Key

DELIVERY TIME: Not yet received !

Not much to say here really, I went through their whole payment system and bought the CD key with my Paypal and I still haven't got my key after 3 weeks. I have sent over 6 emails to their support email/system and have not gotten any replies.

Keep away like the BLACK PLAGUE!

1cdkey.com is a scam 100% not legal.

CDKeysDirect.com Review Scam Legal

CDKeysDirect.com Review

By DRIZZLE    (sub-author of blog)

Hey guys, just another little review for another good yet dissapointing cdkey site to hit the internet.

Yesterday i went searching the net for a cheap and legit copy of Modern warfare 2, knowing that most sites have the STEAM problem going around so i was looking with a site with some decent reviews so i bumped into CDKEYSDIRECT.COM.

1st Purchase

Game: Call of Duty Modern Warfare 2 CD Key

Delivery Time: within 24 hours

Pre-Payment

It has some decent reviews like "Paid for the item ($40 less than RRP!), recieved the key an hour or two later. Activated fine with Steam and am now downloading it. :D" and "The serial i've recieved works perfect with steam. ". So noticing that most of the customers copies of CALL OF DUTY MODERN WARFARE 2 worked correctly with steam i decided to purchase it myself, ofcourse going through the activation was a pain in the ass as there customer service have broken english as if they are indian or chinese and have never completed third grade.

Post-Payment

 I purchased the key with my paypal and since paypal is "loaded" with scammers the customer service rep. suggested I send them a scanned picture of my passport or drivers license, ofcourse knowing it is only $45.00 i am not risking my details for such a little cost. Then the  more i talked him down the more this 'automated' human being would respond with the same shit over and over, thats when it started to go downhill the customer service rep would not respond for 10-20 minutes on end and it took over 4 total hours online with the representative to actually get the key. Once i received the key i registered it to my steam and it all works as told by the reviews that they have on the product listed, but after a few days of playing Steam shuts down the account.

FINAL WORD

It seems as if their reviews are fake and they are just using them to get customers to purchase the product unwillingly knowing that they are phised/hacked/stolen keys. I would suggest going AGAINST this website and purchasing from a different site, there are plenty out there!

HotCDKey.com Review Legal Scam

HotCDKey.Com Review

Reviewed by Panther49

HotCDKey.com was one of the better websites I have purchased from, this was roughly a year ago so times may have changed since there but here goes. The website was obviously based in China so I had my suspicions at first that HotCDKey.com scam. But this was disproven.

1st Purchase

Game: World of Warcraft Authentication CD Key

Delivery Time: Within 24 hours

The key I received from this bunch was functioning correctly but what really let them down was their security methods. I had ordered the key at roughly 8:00PM at night and within a few hours whilst I was asleep I hear my phone ring, it was a HotCDKey.com serial operator calling to confirm my identity for a $17.99 US key (overpriced but still such a small amount to be awoken up for a phone call). She then asked me inane questions regarding my identity such as what was the closest school to my address and a number of other *ANNOYING* questions. After the phone call roughly 14 hours later I received my key and it worked perfectly. They are not the cheapest, but if your looking for a key within 24 hours and don't mind putting up with an overseas operator speaking to you in extremely broken English then this could be a possibility.

FINAL WORD

They require an extreme service overhaul to be seen as the best in my books, too much work for an overpriced CD key. That is why they earned their rating.

CJS-CDKeys.com Review Legal Good Scam

CJS-CDKeys.com Review

by Panther49

My personal CJS experience was different to my previous ones with Direct4Drive.com scammers. They actually provided an adequate service after a few hiccups. This is how it played out.

1st Purchase:

Game: Left 4 Dead 2 UNCUT Steam Serial CD Key

Delivery Time: 6 Days

Whilst viewing CJS-CDKeys.com I saw that they only guaranteed delivery of the purchased CD Key / Serial within 72 hours, yes again thats 72 hours. This is very different to their competitors who normally provide a 12 - 24 hour guarantee for the delivery of the key. Upon arrival of my key, I punched into the area necessary in Steam and waited to see what happened. I got an error, they key was already being used by another account. At this stage I was pretty furious, I was looking forward to playing through the latest installment of Left 4 Dead 2 with legal serials.Alas, this was not the case so I promptly shot an email away to CJS-CDkeys.com support, I was partially worried that like Direct4Drive, that this new website would end up being a CJS-CDkeys.com SCAM act. I received an email 4 days later with a fresh Left 4 Dead 2 CD key and it worked! And I'm happy to say that apart form that small falter at the start, CJS-CDKeys turned out all right!

FINAL WORD

Although in the end this turned out alright I would still like to endeavor to find a better more reliable seller.

Direct4Drive.com Review Scam Legal

Direct4Drive.com Review

(previously known as OnlineKeyStore.com)

My recent experiences with this website have not been good at all. My first purchase was mediocre at best then my second was riddled with absolute chaos.I will start with a review for my first purchase which was roughly 2 months ago. 

1st Purchase

Key Purchased: Battlefield 2 Complete Collection

Time ACTUALLY Delivered: 4 and a half days later

After all this the CD Key/Serial I was provided by this cheap serial seller did WORK but don't get excited just yet kids, it only worked for roughly 3 weeks before I started getting random disconnections from servers in Battlefield 2. 

I googled the topic of why I was getting these disconnections and found the problem, he had OVERSOLD his keys!

Someone else was using my key, when I approached his support email about this I was replied to with an extremely dishonest and angry staff member. So I let it go, put my chin up and realised that  at least I could play 2-3 hours per day without interruptions. But Call of Duty Modern Warfare 2 CD Keys were just around the corner so I just waited. 

By now I was thinking that OnlineKeyStore.com was a scam , fraud,  that these guys Direct4Drive.com illegal keys.

2nd Purchase

Key Purchased: Call of Duty : Modern Warfare 2

Time ACTUALLY Delivered: 2 Days Later

Against my better judgement I decided to give the OnlineKeyStore.com scam another go. This time it was for Call of Duty Modern Warfare 2 CD key / serial. This time was even worse, instead of spending roughly ~$12 like last time on the Battlefield 2 Complete Collection CD key I had spent a whopping ~$50 and all for a worse outcome. A few days after getting the game and playing it, Steam SHUT DOWN my key completely. In their eyes I no longer even owned it so I bring to you a new expression - stuck with a $50 email. For $50 I had received an email from the OnlineKeystore.com illegal scammers with a non working key. To TOP it all off, I know have STEAM on my back leaving me messages all the time.

FINAL WORD

The Direct4Drive.com scam website and the OnlineKeyStore.com scam website owners should be thrown into JAIL! Hopefully you will show your friends this one, these are the guys that give the other GOOD websites a bad name. 

He obviously changed his domain name to run away from all his debts from chargebacks from Call of Duty Modern Warfare 2 sales.

Dangers of buying CD Keys Online.

Due to their being no face to face contact when buying digital products online and there is no shipping involved in most cases. There are a number of risks involved with such deals so that is why we have chosen to start this website.
Here is a 4 step process for safety when buying cheap game CD keys online.

1. What payment methods do they accept?

The general consensus for safe payment processing online is Paypal. If the website accepts Paypal then they have been verified as safe by Paypal/Ebay itself.

2. Apperance of the website.

If the website seems to be not well presented with content including broken english and poor presented product photos it is best to stay away.

3. Testimonials

Search Google for testimonials and reviews on the website. Common search criteria include  "(website) scam" and simple "(website) reviews" these will show up the good, the bad and the ugly of all the testimonials and reviews from users of people who buy cheap serials online. 

4. Are prices realistic for the CD key industry?

Discounts of 50%+ are usual for the CD key industry but when a website is selling a $75 in the box copy game for $7 then you must suspect that there is foul play going on. Either they will scam you completely and run away with your money OR they will give you a hacked/phished/pre used CD key or serial
