I have worked in the RMT or Gold Farming industry for a few years and before that owned a Gaming Center. I have heard a ton of horror stories from customers over the years in reference to the dealings of sites they had been scammed by in the process of buying game currency & power leveling for online MMO games. The shady things the sites in this industry pull would fill a book so be very careful.

Here are 10 things you can do to protect yourself from being scammed:

1. Most important of all use Paypal to pay for your transaction. Why? PayPal does not honor Virtual Goods Sales which enables you to open a dispute with PayPal at anytime you feel your being scammed and get your money back 100% of the time.
2. Do not use Bizrate/Shopzilla as a method to decide if the site is safe to work with. The Chinese take advantage of the reporting methods they use and load up their ratings with fake feedback. Instead use sites like ripoffreport.com and alexa.com as these sites have not yet been exploited with fake feedback.
3. Visit the site and see if anyone is actually manning the “live chat”. If no1 is working the site probably not safe to order from it. If you do get a worker in “live chat” talk to them for a bit and determine weather it is an actual person or an auto responder that just drops “canned” messages. If you find its a real operator that is a good sign site might be ok to order from.
4. Phone Contact – If the site has a phone number listed that you can call them on or if they actually perform a “Voice Verification” phone call they are safer to go with.
5. Look for a site that is selling more then just currency and power leveling. If a site sells tangible goods too then it’s a good sign. This can also offer a way to test them out… if they sell game time cards you can buy one (you’ll eventually need it anyway) and see how the transaction goes. If all goes well then you can be pretty sure they are legit and feel safer to order with them.
6. Another way to find out if a site is safe if to ask friends and guild mates for recommendations if they have purchased mmo goods before. People you actually know are going to give the most unbiased feedback.
7. Google the sites name and do some research that way. If a load of stuff comes up when you Google the site name add some negative words to the search. There is no point in adding positive words to a site look-up because all that typically shows you is the sites fake marketing and SEO work.
8. Site Content is a sign of a legit site. If they have an “about us” page, blog or forum associated with the site then they are more likely to be legit. Most fly by night sites do not take the time to build in these social outlets.
9. If you ever share you account info with a site (should only be necessary for power leveling orders), even a trusted one, be sure to change your password when your order is completed. You don’t want to risk your account getting pillaged by an ex-employee or the site itself should it ever hit hard times.
   1. If it is “to good to be true” stay away! Any site offering something for next to nothing should immediately be suspect.

Well I hope this help to insure a safer purchase of virtual goods for anyone who bothered reading all of this

I am working on a new project we will be starting one of the only American owned and operated RMT sites. We will specialize in using “Player Sellers” for stock verses going to the Chinese gold farmers.

Thanks, Joe Site Manager

There’s no valid put forth on this in the future – we’ve heard lots of “licensed words” with reference to changes in the event’s format, exclusively to be found totally unsuitable later on – although it’s been said that the apprehension has already been brought flippant on exchange via the [url=http://www.swagvault.com/guild/][b]wow guides[/b][/url] provisions of the Diversion Software Society (ESA).

In preference to, what we found as an update on Gamespot is a “No Note” comment from ESA senior imperfection president in the interest of communications and inspection, Well-heeled Taylor.

As we do every year, the ESA solicits feedback [url=http://www.swagvault.com/guild/][b]wow guides[/b][/url] and management from exhibitors and attendees on how kindest to change and evolve the E3 Media & Business Summit to assure it meets their needs. Each element of the Summit is opened in the service of scrutiny, and that modify is progressive to execute a imaginative and competent experience. Non-standard irregardless today’s published reports, the ESA does not elucidation on rumors and guess, and disposition fill out an advert about the details and logistics of the 2009 E3 Media & Proprietorship Summit at the pertinent time.

There’s been some major fallout in E3′s set of pals, like Activision Blizzard who chose to gambol the band this year, and in place of absorb its own things turned out in the in any case week. That’s individually from all the critics who’ve thrown in their two cents on the latest silhouette of E3, [url=http://www.swagvault.com/guild/][b]wow guides[/b][/url] such as EA’s John Riccitiello, Ubisoft’s Laurent Detoc, and EA Sports’ Peter Moore.

Disenchant’s look into if ESA can cook up something that wishes attract them back as regards the 2009 E3. Persevere in it posted here because more updates.

Bring on the cloud!

Everything else is on my personal laptop, which is my only computer. I use my laptop for everything and it manages all my media. Right now I’m kind of stuck in the middle of eco-systems. I stream all my media (music, TV shows and movies ripped from my personal DVDs) to my Xbox 360. So I’m kind of stuck between managing my content in iTunes for my iPhone and managing that same content with the Zune Player to stream to my Xbox.

So I guess I’m in limbo. I left WinMo for the iPhone and love it, but that is about all from Apple that appeals to me leaving me with 2 systems to manage the same content for 2 devices. I’m kinda hoping Microsoft can combine all their stuff so I can get a unified system, but I have doubts.

The only slight hiccup is you have to open Calendar on the phone to download new events and changes made on GCal proper every now and then. To me, it’s not a big deal; if I’ve been working at my desk for a while and I know I’ve added events, as I’m leaving I pop open Calendar on the phone and it automatically updates. For free, I will deal with that. I also wish the Calendar colors would match up with my GCal colors, but the way I understand it is that’s an iPhone Calendar problem, not a GCal/NuevaSync problem.

What I do NOT understand is why I can’t sync my phone via wifi. Is adding an album and three contacts really so data intensive that I need a USB cable?

At home I have an iMac that acts as an iTunes server. It shares content out to my appletv and my laptops. I sync my iPhone to the iMac nightly to update podcasts and everything else I’ve added to iTunes.

I used sync with my macbookpro so I could update my music and podcasts on the go, but lately I feel like I don’t need to do this because I can purchase music over 3g and update my podcasts via wifi.
